'How a changing virus is reshaping scientists’ views on COVID-19'
A sobering article from Reuters today:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-variants-insight-idUKKBN2AV1T1
'A new consensus is emerging among scientists, according to Reuters interviews with 18 specialists who closely track the pandemic or are working to curb its impact. Many described how the breakthrough late last year of two vaccines with around 95% efficacy against COVID-19 had initially sparked hope that the virus could be largely contained, similar to the way measles has been.
But, they say, data in recent weeks on new variants from South Africa and Brazil has undercut that optimism.'
There is a need for a covidity
Hi Crumbs.
Fauci in his latest video has said A Universal Covid Vax is like the Holy Grail
Ivy, all, thanks for the posts. It's a bit busy here, but I hope I can catch up soon.
Just had a brief look over on ADVFN .
Looks like inanaco has finally lost the plot? Or at the very least the ability to undertake simple maths.
No worries LL I retweeted it earlier so you can pick up the full Fauci presentation
Good morning all, ........."".RE: 'When will it end?'"", well that made me chuckle, my life has just started again, the third morning this week I have been up at this time and excited about the day ahead. Taking thatweek off last week 60% through my decorating was the best thing I did, I felt exhausted after a week of the painters, unable to get my 18 hours sleep, but grateful for the company more after a year nigh on in self isolation.
Enjoyed Tuesday very much seeing us bounce back +11.98% after closing my trades Friday evening rather expecting a gruesome Monday and opening two trades Tuesday mid morning at the low and then we saw that great rise. Well I got the buy in right but exited too early but with a nice profit for a veryshort amount of time spent. Was looking forward to Wednesday morning in expectance of news but slept through that, but just glad to see us trading 23.50/24 much further away than 20p that I thought we might be heading.
Yesterdays budget is not something I normally describe as I liked, but I did, I thought it well delivered by Sunak, ably watched over by a very relaxed Boris and I admired the plan and positivity which I explained as ""a good feel budget""for now. Of particular import was the Governments £1.6b pledge for research, which I guess didn"t shock any of us, but great to see it anyway.
Thank you Dragon for wishing me luck with my new adventure, Ihave been wanting to move into rypto currency for a long time and have found a fund whih trades for me, with a pretty low min investment but saw an 18% rise just yesterday and I feel there is so much more to come from that setor in the years ahead. Happy to build it slowly I just don"t want to cut my holdings here any further, but I needed to take profits from 40k between 27-27.7 twice and have just been playing the 21-25 spread since to much success.
Most importantly still feeling as confident as I ever have here, despite being aware of all the pitfalls, the positives just sem so strong and the market so alligned and seeing us double a few weeks ago was the first time I had ever multi bagged and I am sure it won"t be the last.
I think the BB has been terrific in recent times, so many interesting posts which I further research for reference, what I don"t find interesting I ignore if I choose, but am enjoying the humour between us all whilst we do what we do best..............waiting for news!!!
So a good morning to all, hoping for another day like Tuesday and yes for the second time we bounced off 21/21.50 as we used to do at 23. Enjoy your day all, so good not to see any stage manufactured petty rows, we have some serious holdings here, my 210k is serious to me, but many have much more and the potential is so great here it comes over in the narrative, so best of luck all.
Research funding was only a tiny part of the £1.6 billion. Gov.uk site says “ An extra £1.65 billion cash injection to ensure the Covid-19 vaccination roll-out in England continues to be a success.
£28 million to increase the UK’s capacity for vaccine testing, support for clinical trials and improve the UK’s ability to rapidly acquire samples of new variants of COVID-19.
£22 million for a world-leading study to test the effectiveness of combinations of different Covid-19 vaccines. This will also fund the world’s first study assessing the effectiveness of a third dose of vaccine to improve the response against current and future variants of COVID-19.”
PM did you see the study which Notts Uni are undertaking re differing doses, etc?
C7, Good morning. As always it is a delight to see your early morning posts, even if I have a new bundle of joy which means I can't read them until much later. ATB. LL
The funding is encouraging as a sign of their focus, but the established willingness to do serious fast-tracking is most relevant imo.
