:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

Yes there was a report earlier in the month pointing that way. The Pfizer is used as the example as it’s been used and returning results about a month in advance of the Oxford AZ but as both work in the same way they think all vaccines will suppress transmission.
They think…but that doesn’t count in the real word…time will tell.

Mrs MoT got the Old Oxford yesterday (and no its not a euphemism) on account of her Cancer like… feeling shitty today, but I suspect faking it as forgot to get me a Valentine ;-p

So here is the problem.
They open ski slopes & hotels.
But not restaurants and bars.
So where do people go afterwards?
Equally, while you jabbed up types may want to travel, other countries who can’t travel need staycation.
So where you going to stay/eat?

And then, obviously, you have the "oh it’s all over so who cares about social distancing/mask brigade.

Really depressing

Number over-80s dying after testing positive has fallen by 32 per cent and hospital admissions are down 60 per cent

Looks like these vaccines are working

Seen the reports from Israelll saying Sympomatic spread is reduced.
Now we need to know if Asymptomatic is also reduced.
More likely yo catch it from someone who doesn’t know they have it…

That’s going to be very difficult to measure. If you’ve been vaccinated and then are assymptonmatically infected how would you know to get tested?

Is there much evidence for current asymptomatic spread?

I don’t see why there would be a difference in vaccine effectiveness in stopping transmission when comparing symptomatic and asymptomatic people.

The key difference in transmission is asymptomatic people don’t know they have it so don’t take the same precautions as someone with symptoms

Which makes it doubly dangerous.
I’m trying to get people to view the bigger picture & not focus on just getting back in a pub.
IF you are jabbed and you can spread the mutant virus unknowingly ie Asymptomatic then countries with slower vaccine rates wont let you travel.

It is doing my head in that friends on FB are doing NO VACCINE PASSPORT petitions yet asking me about taking them on trips here in the summer. Simply cannot comprehend why I tell them NO.

The epitome of the modern Brit.
Basically, nobody told me about no quarantine it doesn’t apply to me…

Not to mention all the other mess of them mixing at passport control/on connecting flights etc.

I have exactly fuck all sympathy for them - they travelled abroad, had a nice holiday and now are whinging because they don’t want to take responsibility for their choices

Dear anti mask morons.
If they are so ineffective, how come Flu cases in Poland are down almost 80% this winter so far.
That is all.

Cos everyone is at home?

Hmm, concerning that it gives leverage to some of the conspiracy theory groups but I am surprised that the Dutch, to me, have always been ultra cautious. They are the only country I know where you have to wear a crash helmet if you are driving an open top car (or at least you used to).

Again, raises the debate about whose human rights take precedence…
