.............. and this is why I sold out my one grand punt on Thursday rather than holding out for a few pence more, and I stated, specifically in case of Friday news spook stories.
I understand that the vaccines remain effective, but the efficacy is predicted to be reduced, so we may end up with the efficacy simply dropping from 93% to 89% or some such. However, the critical part is how severe the illness is once contracted with the existing vaccines. Here we may see some eyebrow raising results based on recent findings with the Astra jab helping T cells where the others don't. Astra may dominate as the jab the rest of the planet will have to have in the end.
Rapid spread from one 53 to 53 million (call that a Tunbridge orgy to a Tyneside orgy)? If the knee jerk reaction is to do what Portugal has just done and reintroduce extensive forced mask wearing for an even more contagious virus than delta, then rapid massive worldwide spread is completely guaranteed, exactly as happened before. Cases began to rise, mask wearing was enforced, cases shot through the roof even with work from home, closed public spaces, closed shops, closed pubs etc.
So sit back with a large KFC bucket of chicken and watch history repeat itself.
