Bairnardo Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I miss the 5g nutters they seem to have disappeared [emoji853]The UK doesnt need an expensive vaccine campaign to control minds. They just need Spitfires, which I am increasingly convinced never actually existed and have been injected into the national consciousness by Derren fucking Brown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they don't start talking about a new strain the variant thing should be managable. Absolute NAP that Sridhar and the gang will use this to peddle their zero Covid agenda, promising that if you just keep socially distancing and inventing sunshine in your mind until autumn then it'll all be over once the new new vaccine comes out. Before they then start indicating concern about the North Vladivostok variant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've very recently introduced a second test that everybody has to get after 4 days on the platform (dedicated Covid medic). As of a couple of days ago, all new arrivals must wear a snood/mask for those first four days. OIM / company men really laying into those not socially distancing, as I probably would too tbh. Eta: the second test is because the company had instances of people passing the first test but then developing symptoms and passing it on later. It would seem that large handover meetings involving the infected aren't a particularly great idea.

NotThePars Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 What happened to the culture of having your windaes panned for phoning the polis? Simpler times.Different demographics. You’re referring to a proud working class culture particularly evident in the inner cities whereas these are petit bourgeois petty authoritarians who would’ve spearheaded any collaboration with the Third Reich if they had successfully crossed the Channel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 It was an "anecdotal " answer and nowhere did I claim it was scientific but you crack on if you took it as such. Have a third of your family and friends had it ?Well anecdotally, i got mine last night, and my auld faither (who's 81 and nearly died with the virus last summer after refusing to take up a ventilator space in hospital) was done a fortnight ago.If you take out my two young kids that's a decent percentage of my family... Anecdotally.The Kings Cross centre in Dundee was pretty busy last night, and they were rattling through folk at a good rate. Most folk didn't look like they were in their 80s either. It was good to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger29 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 So that's Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Sweden and Poland all recommending not to give the Aztrazeneca vaccine to the over 55/65s due to a lack of data.What was the reason for not including more people aged 65+ in the trials? Given that's where the vast majority of the deaths are coming from and the main aim is presumably to stop deaths it sees rather silly to only have 10% of trial participants above that age (and that's being very kind). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU won't be needing all those AZ vaccines, then... Seems like there was an oversight on the trial and that's about it. They had 1 case in the control group and 1 case in the vaccinated group, so the data doesnt say much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the same as Pfizer etc. where you talk folk through it, give them the shot then monitor them for anaphylaxis, or is it a bit quicker than that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
