"After the euphoria of a vaccine breakthrough, it did not take long for the virus to provide a reality check. Within days of the news that an effective vaccine may have been found, it was being announced the UK was the first European country to pass the grim milestone of 50,000 deaths. This was quickly followed by a record rise in new cases with 33,400 reported on Thursday.
Both are a clear reminder, if we needed one, that there are many more difficult days to come. So what's in store?
- The vaccine is no magic wand
Health Secretary Matt Han**** has promised the NHS will be ready to start rolling out the vaccine from 1 December if its passes its final regulatory hurdles.
But that doesn't mean the epidemic will be brought to a sudden halt. There is a huge logistical exercise in vaccinating large numbers of people - the UK has bought enough for 20 million people. And don't forget, unlike the flu vaccine, this one requires two doses."
...IMO there is Interesting the amount of articles referring to the vaccine euphoria from the start of this week, and seems reality is kicking in again. I agree with other posters, the timing of the announcement and it's format seemed a bit off to me too.
But also, in hindsight, potentially what a decent price around the 10p mark might prove to be! Potentially very oversold, especially with the AGM on Tuesday. To those who piled in at that price i think a provisional congrats is due. Seems like it helped Vulpes get more at cheaper price too.
