    The latest is that AstraZeneca has placed the vaccine trials and production on hold due to the issue of side effects.

    One patient with slight after effects, but the latest is possible roll out this year.

     

    "AstraZeneca has struck a number of manufacturing partnerships around the world and believes it will be able to manufacture about 3bn doses." Kerching £££$$$€€€

    The flu-vaccine is approximately 50% effective - and there is long-standing vaccine-work on that type of virus.  Corona-virus vaccines are new. 

     

    But assuming it works, why not just vaccinate vulnerable Thais (who want it), and then everyone vulnerable is safe, no?  No reason to care if visitors take it, or the general population, who is unlikely to even know they had covid, if they get it.

    Jeez, you need to be cynical and think about it. Astrazeneca has contracts with the UK, EU countries, Australia and India, mass roll out is needed for them to make lots of profit and the governments will make loads too. The cost of the dose from Astrazeneca is £2 to £3 per dose, which isn't much for a vaccine and you can bet governments will sell for £10+, flu jab in the UK is £10+, so maybe £15 for covid-19.

    for 3 weeks now i've been saying November is the reopening of Thailand. I'm still sticking with it. I've seen nothing to suggest Thailand will be closed in November.

    They will open when a vaccine arrives and us infected westerners have been vaccinated prior to departure. Astrazeneca looks like being ready early next year, roll out will start with the vulnerable and then the rest of the population.

     

    Until then 2 week quarantine in Asia.

    Load of hot air as usual by Boris. 
     

    Unmanageable , uncontrollable and the Police can’t do their core job let alone going round doing spot checks on houses to count how many are inside. Utter b.olox

     

    Once the lockdown was relaxed it was game over There is no going back, even to a ridiculous half way house. One minute get back to work, get on the trains etc etc next breath, don’t mix in large numbers. 
     

    Currently the increased numbers are not relating to higher deaths only an increase in testing and younger people. 
     

    Shield the old people at risk and let the rest carry on. It’s the only way to let this thing run it’s course. 

    It's pathetic, lots of waffle and hot air. It is unenforceable too, I'm sure the police will stop groups over 6 wandering around if they feel the group won't give them any stick back.

     

    I did my bit today, stopped off in Hadleigh from my cycle and popped into a pub. I had to give details and use the hand sanitizer, bloody cheek. Anyway I signed in as John and gave a false mobile number, pointless anyway as no one was sitting outside lol.

     

    First of all it was blame the old and sick for clogging up hospitals and dying, now it's blame the under 25s for getting infected, but not sick, waste of time.

     

    It's obvious now that they are just using this an excuse to ramp up the fear to flog vaccines next year, it's the same all over Europe, young people partying and getting infected (allegedly).

     

    Where I live it's 4 cases in 100,000 and the population of Rayleigh is around 35,000, so I'll be very unlucky to bump into that person lol. I read a poll from Greece, 44% would not take a vaccine, probably about the same here.
