Have you thought/realised?

It must be possible in this day and age to have the information scanned and referenced on a database that shows you have had the jab.? The database is being used this very moment, which is how the NHS knows who has had the jab and who hasn't.

Of course this only works in developed countries but there must be other ways of showing whether you have been vaxxed or not?

Oh dear... I so hope you're kidding because it really isn't the same! Whether you're joking or not, it's sad that there are still people around who don't understand the basics after almost a year of expertise being readily available 🙁

1. 'Flu is caused by the Influenza virus that comes in groups A and B and has lots and lots of variants that are added to the vaccination cocktail each year. It's been around for at least a century.

2. SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is caused by a totally different virus that is one of the many members of the Coronavirus family. The specific virus was called SARS-CoV. It was first identified in humans in 2002 in China, having only been seen in civet cats before that.

3. MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) comes from a Coronavirus called MERS-CoV. It was first identified in the Middle East in 2012.

4. COVID-19 comes from a Coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. First identified in China at the end of 2019.

Hope that clears things up 😊

Read the other day that Israel are now testing a new vaccine that cures people who have COVID in 5days. The first stages of the trials have been completed successfully! So maybe things are slowly starting to take an upward turn 🤞

I've read that they have now jabbed 50% of the population or more but that is the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

So they are way ahead than us on numbers of vaccinations but I can't find any news of a new vaccine. Do you have a link?

I guess there is no chance WillyO was referring to the similarity of some of symptoms rather than the virus itself.

I seen it too Rob it’s not a vaccine it’s a treatment after you’ve caught it they say it works in in 5 days with great results.

Got a long way to go before it can be used in the population. A lot of these drugs make it through initial stages and then have trouble when they get to phase 3 trials. You have only got to have someone die and the trial will be stopped to find out why. This is why some of these treatments take so long to get to the pharmacy. Lot of research going on into drugs that are already available for other illnesses.

I used to sail with a guy who was in the labs at AZ. He used to create drugs for specific purposes. Some never got out of the labs, some got to trials but didn't help the patients and some got all the way through trials only to fail.

Read with interest the way the preventative measures are being used in India. Drinking cows urine is supposed to stop you getting Covid along with breathing in fresh steam whatever that is. They are also using ancient ayurvedic home remedies to ward off the disease.

They have done a higher % of their 9,000,000 population but we have done more actual vaccinations.

Prof Van Tam didn't mince his words this morning talking about false claims like these from India. They're one of the reasons ethnic minority groups aren't taking up the vaccine... they think they've got it covered with old wives tale remedies. Such a shame 😔
 
Just need to keep booking in for the vaccine when the relevant group slots come round.
Can't do everyone at once, plenty patience still needed (y)

There have been big problems in India with fake preventative measures.

I can't help thinking a slow down is inevitable because they've done so well, there are now around 12.5m people who need to get their second dose over the next few months. Surely they can't keep up this incredible pace with first shots too? I'm trying really hard to be patient because I know everyone is doing their best :)
 
There is something strange in the numbers in each group to be vaccinated
70 to 74. 3.2m
65 to 69. 2.9m
60 to 64. 1.8m
How is it the lower the age group the fewer the number?
 
Quite a lot of the 60 to 65 lot will already have been injected as front line care staff. Others may have pre existing conditions and been done with the over 70s.

I just did the online calc. Using an age of 61 and it shows between 10,468,116 and 13,122,676 people in front of me.
