Chile have a higher vaccination rate than the UK does but yet cases are going up and more preventative measures are being put in place.

The good news is that AZN vaccine looks like it is effective against the Kent variant although it looks as though doubts remain over its efficacy over South African variant which continues to spread...

The oldest vacancy is 2 weeks old. I think a good handful have been filled because the numbers have gone down some days and because the initial glut started more than 2 weeks ago. Now up to 75 vacancies! 19 in the last 24 hours!
Quite a big jump especially re south African variant. If gov are now using our technology it follows to me that variants will be picked up quicker...

Interestingly, the chap presenting in the Nova talk (not Ms Pea**** or the LFT guru) requested at the end of the presentation that there must be a renewed focus on preventing future pandemics. Maybe Han**** was listening in and took note.
A new organisation is being set up with the aim of halting future pandemics. The UK Health Security Agency (UKSA) will launch on 1 April, Health Secretary Matt Han**** has announced.
Han**** told a briefing hosted by the Local Government Association that "UKSA must plan, it must prevent and it must respond. UKSA must be ready".
He says: "UKSA, as it will be known, will be this country's permanent standing capacity to plan, prevent and respond to external threats to health.
"UKSA will work with partners around the world and lead the UK's global contribution to health security research.
"Next, UKSA will be tasked to prevent external threats to health, deploying the full might of our analytic and genomic capability on infectious diseases... in all, helping to cast a protective shield over the nation's health.
"Even after years without a major public health threat, UKSA must be ready, not just to do the science, but to respond at unbelievable pace."
He said the agency will hire the "very best team possible from around the world".
The agency will be led by deputy chief medical officer Dr Jenny Harries, who will be its chief executive, and it will replace the National Institute for Health Protection.

We only realised quite how fast the way it was developing at the point when people started dying in hospitals, basically," he added.
"If we had the kind of testing system we have now, we'd have spotted this wave far further out in time and been able to judge it far more carefully.
"I think the difference in timing would have been relatively small but it might have been significant"
Good luck Wilson.
And to the rest of you (bar my little green boxes), if this share somehow ends up not having a happy ending then at least I know I've gone down fighting with some honourable men, women and children!
Apart from the pretty green boxes on my screen, I'm going to assume everyone is in agrmt that an NHS contract is on its way.
The question is how big? I don't think it will be as straightforward as the Gov saying here's a £1bn, do your best. All the sales / NHS manager roles talking about growing market share / increasing sales to NHS so I think we will get a chunky order up front but with scope to increase sales over a minimum 2 year period.
I've seen him like previous posts. Unfortunately I do not think it is the Roche Group. Anyone familiar with Youseq? Their CEO has liked it. They are next gen sequencing experts - I can't work out whether they would add anything to our arsenal?
