Can’t see pubs opening until Q3 if the breaking news of the Kent covid-19 strain starting to mutate beyond the capabilities of current vaccines is backed up by senior scientists later today.
Maybe 105 is the real deal.
Plenty of news to play out during this week with this latest press release and the South African variant starting to show its hand in the UK. Will be interesting to see how Sturgeon handles her press conference this afternoon as she was due to announce if Scotland’s lockdown is to be extended into March.
Q3! I think we all need a trip to the Isle of Man!!
Oh dear! The end is nigh! Go and buy yourself a board and stand in the centre of whatever doomsday town you live in
Towncalledmalice - I don’t usually comment on BB where I m not invested. But I don’t like to see people spreading misinformation. And You sir, are doing just that though.
another few pennies then breakeven then out i go.
DD I beg to differ. The powers that be have acted so rapidly with site specific testing ....are they worried?
Let’s not get carried away too much with the significance of vaccine mutations folks, they are a perfectly normal thing that vaccines do and whilst there is always a possibility that a new variant could mutate enough to become resistant to a vaccine there is no indication that this is the case with what is being termed the South African variant.
The Kent or U.K. variant had a change to the protein spike (the method a virus uses to attach itself to our cells) and this made it easier to transmit/catch. The South African variant is similar in that it too has a different or amended protein spike but the significance of this one is that it makes the virus more able to bypass the antibodies in the host. That means that if someone previously had the virus or has received a vaccine to protect them from the virus the South African variant will be more successful in attacking the host than either the Kent or the original covid variants. That doesn’t make it more deadly and the tests that moderna did on the various vaccines suggested their vaccine was 90% effective at stopping original covid variant, 80% effective on the Kent variant and 60% effective on the South African variant all 3 results being within the WHO guidelines for acceptable protection.
So you might have had covid or the vaccine but could still catch one of other of the various variants knocking about but you will still be sufficiently protected so that you do not fall seriously ill or need to be hospitalised.
The problem is that mutations are a natural process for a virus that are essentially accidents or mistakes that happen when it replicates and the only way for a virus to mutate in this way is when it finds a new host. So if the South African variant were to mutate again into the let’s say Walsall or the Surrey variant what if that one develops in a way that renders a vaccine ineffective? There’s no evidence to suggest that it either can or will mutate in way that would render the vaccines useless given the knowledge we have about the way covid viruses work but it would be folly to assume it can’t do so because let’s face it we are still learning about this particular strain of covid. So the sensible thing to do is to try to stop the South African variant from spreading as much as possible thus preventing the opportunity for it to mutate.
So maybe not quite as doom and gloom as it would appear but essential that we test as many people as possible in those areas where we know the SA variant to exist to stem the spread.
Town, that you disagree with me doesn’t surprise me in the least. That the efficacy of the vaccine has now gone down from a published 60% to 50% by the time you responded to my post does!
Fact is we just don’t know what will happen so as always have to go with what we think we know. I shall be keeping my marstons shares on the basis that I think the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t another train in its way to wipe me out. By all means you sell yours if you think we are in for 12 months more of lockdown and pubs being closed.
Fairdealer, I was in here months ago and sold out for a modest profit way too early. I know you know your stuff, but can I give you some advice?
You all need to filter DubleD, he adds nothing to the ODX board apart from way too many green boxes now to the vast majority of other posters.
Hope you don't mind my interference, it is well meant.
GLA, this is a great company.
Town - the times. As for the effectiveness I’m cool with whatever the WHO consider viable so as long as the vaccines being produced meet their criteria I’m not going to lose too much sleep over it.
Not at all Jim. Had glanced at his posts on Omega. Cheers
fairdealer
I think your earlier points, made this morning, re BoD not being totally frank with shareholders & implicitly making a rod for their own backs in raised expectations were perceptive & accurate.
One has to wonder what RF's game really is....
Barchid, he has been a Director for 24 years so maybe getting complacent?
Town - you won’t be the first person to say that about me and I doubt you’ll be the last. But like I said regardless of what the perceived drop in efficacy is if the Vaccines meet the WHO criteria I’m cool with that and more importantly if the govt are looking for a drop in cases, hospital admissions and deaths and approval from science then it doesn’t matter what the percentage number assigned to some vaccine is it just matters that the numbers get hit and the scientific advice i
Supports an end lockdown. And current indications are that cases are falling, and hospital admissions and deaths are set to follow.
So like I said I shall be keeping my marstons shares. Just out of interest do you even have any or are you just doing your usual trick of rocking up on a board to talk ****** and try to wind people up?
