some further thoughts
I note the announcement in India regarding avain flu outbreak...other viral respiratory outbreaks i think will be possible as covid 19 goes unchecked.
no real dent to the sp today on moderna vaccine announcement
onwards and upwards!
faye...im not sure if u have heard...read the RNS dated 18th Dec
SNG have been given Investigational New Drug clearance and Expedited Regulatory Pathway granted from the FDA
its a game changer...in the middle of the 3rd lockdown!
no lockdown however in USA! fda more likely to take us on then Boris and his inept team...clearly they have put all their eggs in one basket with the vaccine.
additionally...plan to vaccinate everyone in the vlunerable/at risk groups by mid Feb?!
incredibly ambitious! its taken 4 weeks to get around 1M vaccinated. There is 1M alone in the NHS that need vaccinating so not sure how they can manage all the rest and plus by mid Feb!
there are clearly many who are pro-conservative regardless the situation!
imagine if we had a properly funded NHS?! imagine if the current party had not spent the past ten years chronically under-funding the NHS?! maybe we would be in a better situation to cope with pandemic!
all my views
ps, from the front line
Saw a comment the other day along the lines of:
“We have the worst possible at the worst possible time!”
I don’t think there is anything more apt than the above statement!
As before, I’m pinning my hopes on USA fda
Don’t think we will get any support from this abject government
Just got a reminder of the Spanish flu of 1918 and the chart showing deaths
Well worth a google search...essentially the first wave is just a primer, the second wave is almost 4 times the size - and we are on course to frighteningly mirror that second wave. There is also a third wave which is about twice the size of the first wave.
Some dates from Spanish flu:
first wave starts approx June 1918
second wave mid August 1918
third wave starts Feb 1919.
