101 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 42 minutes ago, Snafu said: That's an alcohol ban on trains now. Also staff at a school in Benbecula test positive for the virus, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-54949623 Here primary 3 to 7 are closing until the 26th. Its interesting that the decision makers on the Western Isles can close classes or an entire school for precautionary measures and why very few others elsewhere in Scotland can react like this when there is an issue. No one wishing to play the herd immunity game with children and staff there I take it. Probably the numbers involved and the fragile state of the health care available on the island 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 10 minutes ago, Donathan said: Moderna announced. 94.5% effective. Looking good. Not so keen on them all rushing to announce success before the phase 3 trials are complete though. Quote He said the inclusion of high-risk and elderly people in the Moderna trial suggested the vaccine would protect those most vulnerable to the disease, while the reported side effects were “what we would expect with a vaccine that is working and inducing a good immune response”. “Moderna have also announced that the vaccine can be kept in a conventional freezer at -20C for up to 6 months, and that once thawed the vaccine can be kept for up to 30 days at standard refrigerator temperatures of 2 to 8C. This makes the vaccine much easier to deliver,” he said. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/16/moderna-covid-vaccine-candidate-almost-95-effective-trials-show?CMP=twt_gu&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium#Echobox=1605528203 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the regulations required 164 people to be infected before approval is given, so they're more than half way if the second wave lasts a bit longer. Long term effects will obviously take longer but that won't delay rolling it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
