Coronavirus - is enough being done to contain it?

They'll probably be empty for a while as probably many won't forget that what that cunt Tim Martin did at the start of this.

We'll find out today how many tests in April the Government has achieved, and I reckon even if they achieved 50,000 tests they'll call it a success and give themselves a pat on the back If they had sourced and introduced a test as quickly a possible at the beginning of April instead of faffing about, they might have got close to 100,000 but not achieve it, but they have to admit they were ambitious with the target.

If we get the vaccine before he does we can tell him to fuck off!!

Oxford University have agreed a partnership with AstraZenica to develope, manufacture and distribute the vaccine. It will allow the rapid distribution worldwide if the vaccine is successful.

And Tom Hanks has given a supply of plasma from his blood for the trail which is seeing if antibodies in plasm can give immunity.

they also said its not for profit while there is a pandemic hope for our sakes they are the most sucessful and not the Pfizer one because it will be in our interests

Should work these are the same team that worked on ebola and vaccines for SAR and MERS

So Boris is back doing the daily government press briefing today. I expect him to be laying the ground for not easing the lockdown from next Thursday when the lockdown is reviewed but will instead say some of the existing measures will be tweaked, for example allowing stores to open for click & collect only and garden centres to reopen.

AstraZenica are already producing the vaccine in anticipation that the Oxford University trails prove sucessful.

Also Dr Fauci (Trumps advisor) has said that Remdesivir, an experimental antiviral drug has shown positive results in helping patients recover more quickly from the illness caused by the coronavirus. Patients recovered 31% quicker than the patients given the placebo.

I think by allowing stores to open with click and collect only would be seen as a positive move to some easing burden on online delivery firms and probably also the post office but whether that would be if shops are a certain size or not, but it would be a positive move to give people somewhere new to go. I would expect again the garden centres that will be allowed to open again maybe dependant on centre size.

Govt will set out plan for changes to lockdown next week

But there's too much waffle from BJ
