Someone said to me yesterday that the first dose gives you 100% chance of not dying, and the second one is to stop you getting it at all. If that's true, it may call for a different roll out schedule.
Chinese "Devil Virus" - anyone worried?

I think i might want to die at some point. Living forever would be pretty shit.
There is always the option to pack your bags, leave, the flights form heathrow are still operating for some bizarre reason, hang out in a rain forest or something for a bit, then maybe come back for next season. You're not going to miss out on much, and probably save yourself a lot of pain that is obviously heading our way.
Only when we start scoring or even remotely looking like doing so...
Typical flu vaccine is what , 50-60% successful?
So I assume in reality it won’t be far off that.
Along with Netflix, PS5 and a few sex dolls ?
Well it was honest practical advice for one the actual funniest posters here. I'm not as human as most feely emotional people, but when you look at it objectively there is an entire earth/universe, and we're quite lucky to live in it for however short time we can, and so if anything is bringing you down, you don't owe anyone or anything a god damn thing. You ought to just leave and see the planet for a bit.
You misunderstand the priority on this solution. If there is any spare CPU capacity left over after I have run my own algorithms, you might get an Atari. Perhaps. Otherwise be grateful and make do with a deck of cards.
Can it be those porn cards you used to get on holiday in Spain?
I can't go to the next town along at the moment let alone the planet!
And yes indeed we should give thanks
Lockout #3 starts for us in 2 days ...
Maybe take a key
As if Jesus would get locked out of anywhere....
Herd immunity back on the table then once they reach this 13 million target.. (Subject to inflated figures)
In theory that could work.. of they do reach the 13 million target for real..
I suspect knowing our government they will try to implement it earlier.. after the 1st dose of vaccinations., before the 2nd round of doses..
They can only keep us lockedown for so long.. The economy would tank to unprecedented levels..
Extended 12 week break between doses are there for a reason..

The worrying thing from the UK perspective is the lag - the infection figures you see now are likely what things were 2 weeks ago.
I’ve heard 1 in 50 in the UK, 1 in 30 in London, Norn Iron looks all sorts of fucked - and those are likely to rise for a few weeks more to catch up - then another few weeks before any lockdown will impact.
I’d be surprised if you saw cases reducing significantly before the end of Jan.

Let me try and use a different example to highlight what I think clearly shows the different approach I’ve experienced over here.
I was watching the Boxing Day Test and commentators were talking about Steve Smith’s poor form. They made the point that he’d been in a Cricket Australia “Bio-secure bubble” for 5 months (along with other players) so that matches could be played. He hadn’t seen his wife in 5 months and couldn’t see her over Christmas.
This is in a country with low infection rates.
Compare that to the EPL - it’s no wonder cases are spiking amongst players and matches are getting called off.
QLD has just locked down Brisbane for 3 days from 6pm Friday night till 6pm Monday night - all pubs, bars, gym, etc closed - no one to leave home except for essential reasons.
1 person tested positive with the English strain earlier in the week.
One person.
Brisbane has a population of 2.5 million people.
The Prime Minister called it necessary - some states immediately closed internal borders to QLD and the Federal Government is putting more caps on the number of people allowed to arrive in the country from overseas (you’re still straight into quarantine for 2 weeks).

Translation: we fucked the vaccine up because we're morons who think we know how science is done, so let's not worry about that, what's done is done, is there a way we can rejig the existing data in excel somehow, in order to pop out a result that will lead to it still getting approved, because ain't nobody got time to go back to the drawing board with fresh clinical trials.
