I tend to agree with you
You would think by now that any Vaccine news is well and truly factored in. The UK could be swimming in different vaccines frankly but it doesn't change anything.
The harsh fact is that we will have to live with this virus, it is going to mutate and keep changing just like the flu virus each year. Hence vaccines will need to be constantly updated - this is where our whole gene sequencing data comes in.
Meanwhile, its a fact that by end of June, in a best case scenario in the UK with maximum vaccine take up there will still be something like 30-33% continuing exposure risk of the virus and that's just the UK and we are one of the best placed. USA and ROW in a far worse position now.
Hence we will need ongoing testing, NHS fully prepared so they know exactly what they are dealing with, whole gene sequencing to keep on top of new variants and surge lockdowns in places were a new variant breaks out.
Not great
Looking forward to Fridays whole genome sequencing event, that could give us some more information on the outlook.
