Great news on the vaccine!!

[Dangee]

& the cherry on the cake, the government had already procured 40 doses, great bit of foresight eh?

 

[charliegolf]

Forty? For the PM's kids and girlfriends only?

 

[Dangee]

Lol. He’d need more that that I reckon!
Sorry, I meant 40 million.

 

[Dangee]

Is everyone happy about it?????

Will Richi still give us money?

 

[Dangee]

Fxxk... never thought of that. Is it from the 13th to apply for the 3rd grant?

Great, it's certainly the only way out that I can see, at least a good start!

Yes exactly, but I wonder what this 90% actually means.

 

[Dangee]

It actually cheered me up when I heard. About 44000 trials so far, 90 odd % success rate. (The same as other inoculations)

 

[Dangee]

Measles, mumps etc all have about 90% apparently

 

[Bodd]

I hope as much as everyone else, But I can see it going to the young front line staff first. Someone will have a reaction and die from it then **** will hit the fan again.

Its good to be wrong and I hope for us all I'm wrong.

The flu vaccine is less than 50% successful so much better than that!

 

[Trazor]

The flu vaccine is less than 50% successful so much better than that!

Yes but does it mean it only works for 9 out of 10 people, or does it reduce the amount of disease you get by 90%, or something else.

 

[Dangee]

It’s an inoculation. A jab like we had at school. It needs a second one . A “booster “ I suppose. Same as the others.

I know you did, I just couldn't help myself! Happens a lot lol.
