lazarus Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Informed people who care are concerned that this weekend's big American football game -- Super Bowl 154 -- will be yet another superspreader event. You know...sit in a poorly ventilated room with your mates for hours, drinking and screaming at Tom Brady -- while Bob's wife (who has Covid asymptomatically contracted from her hairdresser) mixes the drinks and chats with the girls. Pass the nachos please....

Jackson Browne - some incredible music he put out. I identify my early years shaped in big part influenced by him and The Allman Brothers (along with many others). And this E.L.P. tune is good also. Been a long time. Kind of haunting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little bit slower here in Wales. My niece lives in NPT, she's 41 years old but has MS so is on the clinically extremely vulnerable list. She just got her invite for the first jab at her GP's, which means it will be the AstraZeneca version. In Wales, at least, GP surgeries are using that one while people who attend one of the mass vaccination centres are currently being given the Pfizer version. CTM health board, where my gaff is located, provides a good description of how the vaccines are being administered here: https://cwmtafmorgannwg.wales/covid-19-vaccine/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you poms are so defensive. Actually, it was the other way round. Oxford has been working on their ChAdOx (that gets a mention on the label, the Ox standing for Oxford) vaccine platform for at least 10 years. When Covid-19 came along they reworked it for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Then they went looking for a manufacturer who would agree to their terms. I've posted them before but basically Oxford would grant royalty free rights to the technology for the duration of the pandemic, as declared by the WHO, provided the manufacturer would supply the vaccine at cost. I guess as part of the deal, top billing would go to the manufacturer provided ChAdOx also appeared. And that's how Sally met Harry. PS. It was a piss take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fygjam Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 The Path to Immunity Around the World Globally, the latest vaccination rate is 4,607,324 doses per day, on average. At this rate, it will take an estimated 6.8 years to cover 75% of the population with a two-dose vaccine. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/?srnd=premium-asia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
