In Germany fordm, don't they specify only particular masks can be used? It is a free for all here (UK) and most places around the world where people even where plastic visors!
BB. Why is the mask thing so important to you? If germs are on the mask, they are not in the air, and when touched most are going to use a hand sanitizer. Many masks are then (certainly if the pavements are anything to go by) thrown away. I don't see it as a ball and chain like some do. There seems to me a slight panic at the moment where people/governments want to be seen to be doing things this time, unlike what many did a year ago. Presently we are down no more than the FTSE in general, so no skies falling just yet. I see an easy 10% to 15% over the next couple of months. Though others may differ.
DYOR. Good luck to all.
Most people in the EU opted for Pfizer over Astrazeneca. In Ireland 80% of the population were vaccinated with Pfizer, Moderna or J&J.
Denmark went as far as banning Astrazeneca. It is still banned there.
Astrazeneca appears to be less effective overall with more side effects....
big-blue, so wear a mask, so what? I wear one every time I step into a store in Germany, I do it 'cos they make you. Do they work ? Hell no, I have one in my pocket that has been there for at least month, a few scattered in the car.
I agree with you, they are for show only, make the stupid feel they are protected!
The only thing they do is prevent you from smelling some else's bad breath, so in that regard, a + in my book.
So far the only one's reporting positive effects of current drugs is Bloomberg, also Merck says their pill will work on those contracted the virus.
But in my view, the most dangerous virus is MSM and weak governments.
Seems the feedback from case symptoms around the world has been buried from mass media now, this is now very much a contrived return to lockdown type social engineering. The mask lobby is pushing very hard to have them imposed everywhere at all times again and the discussion continues focusing exclusively on trapping some exhaled large particles but ignoring micro particles and of course the concentration building up on the mask and mask touching causing the spread of concentrated swabs. And this with a much more contagious variant around. The manner of this mask debate being so completely one-sided shows that problem with masks being the source of super spreaders is now very actively being suppressed.
Also, I am a bit worried that Pfizer has managed to elbow out Astra in the latest purchasing round. Pfizer is much more politically loaded because of the profit involved and the kudos in national point scoring. But Pfizer does not generate T-cell immunity and is therefore less superior that the Astra. It looks to me that buying Pfizer has been a political decision, not a medical one.
And more cures are coming along.

Very little coverage is given to the cures.
Can’t believe the media they have just found out this is a fast spreader
Since the initial American wobble and market closed Fauci has being on tv and is much more upbeat. Moderna Chairman has also been on saying that there is a good chance they won’t need to develop future vaccines… possible dip on open as trades placed after close overseas go through… but doubt with Wall Street op it will last.
Oil is down on yesterday’s price when compared to U.K. close but up when compared to US close.
Wall street is currently predicted as 224 points up
Are you suggesting that the market thought that the US wont get it?
This is just a knee jerk reaction from PI on first day, then the reality checks in!
FTSE 100 forecast to tumble as US reports first omicron case
Financial spread bet firms were estimating a 78 point drop for London’s premier index
No it will not be, have you learnt nothing in the past 20 months? They tell you it is temporary, yet extend it and extend it for months, sure it's temporary... another 18 months temporary!
All these fear mongering pathetic governments and media hacks, follow the money.
Sounds like the travel restriction s are going to be lifted
This is v positive
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10264589/amp/Fauci-insists-travel-bans-restrictions-TEMPORARY.html
Problem is. Economy pay for the fuel and the op cost, premium pay the profit. I can see large
Cancellations in bookings if more restrictions are put out.
I hope Fauci is wrong; if this is all proven to have been fearmongering, their credibility is totally shredded
I've been studying the new and current rules for travel to the US and to be honest I actually dont think it will affect business travel too much. Bear in mind the people who buy £2-8K air tickets tend to have assistants and dutiful partners to book these things. 120 is small change for a rapid turnaround test and that is the worst case scenario. I know guys who rack up hundreds just leaving their car parked at the airport. The sanenfoe holding makers going to see their loved ones. It's an inconvenience , but not a deal breaker.
I have been 40% underwater with this share and still double bagged, I am 20% underwater now but I have no real concerns. Don’t get me wrong, I am partial to a bit of day trading but unless I can monitor a screen from 8 -4:30pm with level 2 which I have on two
Platforms, I just don’t bother. My belief is that come spring all this sh-ite will be behind us, we have had enough, I have two foreign trips planned before Christmas and I don’t give a flying feck about Covid, red lists and testing. As Andy Dufresne said’ , get busy living or get busy dying’.
"I never understand this “I’m in it for the long haul now” attitude just because people can’t stomach taking a loss. If people didn’t bury their heads in the sand they could get out when 10% down. Instead of ending up 40% down and trying to justify to themselves that “topping up” with “dry powder” is a sound decision. Crazy."
Sundunce was like that, every dip the malak added more - Allegedly!!
Wait til 85p and he'll be saying bought at 40p! pmsl
Saying that, when in negative, it a loss no matter how one applies lip stick to a pig.
"its not a loss until you sell" LOL
Fkn class.
Lol dan23, you cant understand long term investing?
Not everyone has access to analysts, trading floors full of inside info, daily strategy meetings and specialised AI programs running 24/7. Some of us cant watch the price and volumes constantly. Us plebs pick a cheap stock and wait it out till the situation improves. This stock is notoriously volatile and seasoned traders are having difficulty guessing the movements, I've lost a couple thousand just trying to find top and bottom, when I would usually perform pretty well. I think long term is the only strategy that makes sense right now for investors.
Bit of a tough one that. Ideally u really don't want to be 40% down just at a time new variant is beginning to circulate and everything is starting to close up.. I guess u probably recover the losses some day.gl

Im in for the long haul now my average is 180 so got to be really ,I hope this new variant will be the beginning of the end of this virus , but only time will tell. So fingers crossed people that we can get back to normal in our lives and also our investments which is far from normal whichever stock we pick good luck everyone.
The bed wetters are going to be in force tomorrow. South African daily positive test rate has just doubled in 24 hours, from 4000 to over 8000 cases. Scientists will get a real Lob on for this, using limited data sets to claim that the R value is 20 billion squillion and WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!
How crazy is this, dow went from 500 points up to 200 points down withing the space of 4 hours
The MSM and medical 'community' are acting like this is the first time anything like this has made an appearance.....
Since March!!!
The world has gone mad, brains are melting and stupidity reigns supreme!
Let's face the reality of this moronic variant, if you are flying or in an airport anywhere in the world, you will have had to been vaccinated, period!
You ar enot getting on a flight without a certificate, so someoen that is carrying the variant would also be vaccinated. This whole 'buying us time' BS is just that, BS.
Some numpty on Sky this evening was asked if this will be something that is year in year out the way and will the public tolerate it, he said, "They will do the right thing, they always do", implying that 'they' the people will have no choice but to take the vaccine. Now all we need is the Zeppelins to start flying in the skys and then our dystopian world becomes complete.
Just sharing facts, nothing has been positive to share thus far :)
