Still let’s all look on the bright side. The most populous country in the world who started this all off hasn’t had more than 25 cases a day since May of this year. Strange that isn’t it!

A vaccine doesn’t stop you passing it on, only assist in preventing symptoms. So are we to stay in lockdown for another year? Do you think the people will accept that and the government afford it? No, which is why you should still wear a mask and keep your distance.

That particular aspect hasn’t been studied yet. “There is a theoretical risk that you could pass the virus on to others despite being vaccinated,” says Kirsten Hokeness, Ph.D., director of Bryant University’s new Center for Health and Behavioral Sciences. But virus transmission by vaccinated people hopefully won’t be the case. “The goal of the vaccine is to create immunological memory in the body so that when you encounter the virus in the future, your immune system rapidly ramps up and attacks the virus very quickly before you get sick. Therefore, as long as the vaccine boasts a strong immunological response, it is likely that the virus will be stopped from replicating in your system pretty quickly,” Dr. Hokeness says. That would limit your ability to spread it to others. “It can happen, but the risks would be far less than if you were not vaccinated,” she says.

At least the trump haters have to admit he was correct about having a vaccine this year.

Surprise Surprise Michael Gove also lives in the Waverley district I was going to post this. All of Kent treated the same but the posh part of Surrey let off compared to the rest. Similar things happened in the past in the North, Waverley seems pretty unique. In truth, however, the local infection rate is actually pretty low. Mind you, Croydon is low compared to the rest of London but we are all treated the same 'in case people travel to Croydon to do things they can't do elsewhere in London' presumably.

Not sure how that’s going to happen though. At the moment only one vaccine has been approved here and that has caused some nasty side effects although I grant in small numbers. We only ordered a small amount of this vaccine as all the govmt and their mates are heavily invested in the Oxford vaccine. For some reason it appears to have gone a bit quiet on this. All this means is that the country is very likely to stay in this lock downed state for many months to come which is impossible to sustain economically and will probably be rebelled against at some point as the handling of the whole matter has been appalling and people have had enough. Edited by Eaglecoops (20 Dec 2020 1.33pm) The AZ vaccine is far cheaper and much easier to transport and administer. It will come before the New Year assuming nothing goes suddenly and drastically wrong.

It is unhelpful As far as I can tell there have been up to 7 allergic reactions, 2 of which were in the UK and 5 in the US. The UK alone has already administered some 350,000. The 2 UK cases were with people with radical predispositions to allergic reactions from a variety of triggers. They both carried epipens. Neither had to use the epipen and both recovered rapidly. So there just isn't a problem. Unless you are an anti-vaxer in which case the allergic reaction is caused by an oversized nano-controller.
