GOOD MORNING ALL27 Apr 2021 06:29
Well once again COVID 19 news dominates the early hours on Sky News and how good to see the figures from the UK yesterday, just a little over 2k people went down with the virus and just 6 deaths were recorded. I t really doesn"t seem that long ago that the figures reached nigh on 40k a day with 1000 deaths recorded on a daily basis. I was under the impression that those having the vaccine had stalled a bit, but on arrival at my chemists there was queue numbering some 30 people in the street and 3 stations carrying out the jab and the queues just got longer. There was I thinking I would more than struggle to stand so long, when the owner came out, apologised to those in the queue and took me as the next patient, was I relieved to hear that!!!
At the other end of the scale deeply saddened again to hear that another record number of people are being brought down by this virus, which means more than the 349k released on Sunday and again those figures are very conversative as so many people live in the countryside and rural areas, hospitals are overun, oxygen is running out and it is no coincidence that those dying untreated in the hospital grounds are elderly and overweight. Pathetic scenes, no point in pointing the fingers as who is to blame but surely the Government knew it was coming and once again they are relying on Foreign Aid.
As this country is relaxing lockdown rules, the sheer scale of the virus amongst so much of the worlds population makes me dread to hear of yet more mutations and variations, and it is for these reasons that more vaccines, and 2nd generation ones will be needed until we can treat COVID as another chronic disease.
It is not just on this BB that there are so many differing opinions, amongst the scientific community there are so many different opinions too, and I am astonished that some believe this will be over in 2022.
On a lighter note when will the EU get over us leaving them?? Now they are taking Astra Zeneca to court for failing to fulfill obligations to deliver what was ordered in advance. surely they are having a laugh, wasn"t it the same EU that reacted as they did over blood clots in 1 in 250k cases with patients who had low platelet counts? Oh well, looking forward as we all are to concentrate on what Scancell are doing better than getting involved in politics of the very worse kind. Lets have a nice blue day, volumes low yesterday, will be good to see us back over 23p on the ASK. Take care.
