Watch this indonesian (!) guy play acoustic bass, with the lead guitarist on top, and later underneath his bass - watch, I kid you not.

W H A T ????

11 posts and nobody mentioned John Entwistle?

Here he is - Won't get fooled again - with ONLY the isolated bass.

Next, the full band - not bad too - and the best lyrics ever!!!!!!

Have you been following the thread ?.

Just a few posts back I agreed that the UK kids are more deserving food aid at the expense of African kids.

We both agree on that point 

And some more posts back, you as a teacher for heavens sake, said that UK kids should be send up to clean chimneys, rather than receive financial support.

Keep digging, Australia is near.

Yes, but while Anutin is a frustated incompetent fool, Bojo is a funny incompetent fool.

"Ewan Birney, deputy director general of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and joint director of its European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge...........said the vaccines have been tested with many variants of the virus circulating. “So there is every reason to think that the vaccines will still work against this new strain, though obviously that needs to be tested thoroughly.”

I feel honoured that Ewan Birney, deputy director general of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and joint director of its European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge agrees with me.

  No ,. I agree with you , they shouldnt send aid to Africa to feed Children there , the money should be given to UK kids 

Disgusting.

One should not assume. The current vaccines are just as effective and the new strain is not more lethal. It just spreads more rapidly.

That is what you assume. One should not assume. Deeeeuuuuhhhhh.

The Netherlands and Belgium have now stopped all airtraffic with the UK. Also no more Eurostar.

If it was a DNA virus yes but it's not, it's a RNA virus. And all viruses mutate. Google it before you post nonsense. 

https://theconversation.com/yes-the-coronavirus-mutates-but-that-shouldnt-affect-the-current-crop-of-vaccines-150541

Have you read your own quoted article?

It is not black and white.

SOME QUOTES from the article:

This past year has demonstrated the capacity to rapidly produce vaccines, which hopefully can be modified to reflect new mutations and merging strains should they occur.

Considering what we know about how the virus mutates and the rate of these mutations, the first generation of COVID-19 vaccines look likely to provide some protection against currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 strains.

These mutations emerged when the coronavirus jumped from humans to minks and back again.

To avoid the potentially disastrous implications of this new combination of variants rapidly spreading in humans, millions of minks were culled in Denmark, Spain and the Netherlands.

However, not all scientists are convinced of the potential impact of this combination of mutations. So studies are currently under way to better understand their impact.

  Doesnt work that way , the Boss will put a low quote in and get the contract .

Rich people will get their house bult cheaply and the workers receive less salary 

Cheap foreign labour is good for businesses and the rich , but it keeps the working class poor

So true!

John Lennon even composed a song that he dedicated to Bojo & Reesmug ( and the Hiso Tories in general).

WORKING CLASS HERO.

But then the vaccine would also need to be changed yearly or monthly to accommodate those mutations much like the flu vaccines they have based upon your Area or zone.  The flu vaccine in Asia is different than in the USA.  See where this is leading.  Lots of questions and issues if the efficacy is only 70 to 95% after having a jab.  Antibody testing should be done first to ensure you either have them or you do not just like the Hepatitis B, MMR, or Varicella vaccination programs.  If you have antibodies then only a Titer shot is needed every so often to keep the immunity

That is, as we all HOPE, if the antibodies work against mutated covid.

Agreed - a host spread, specifically an unwell host spreader is the major concern. 

 

Two factors: SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19.

 

I am left questioning if the Vaccines just make someone less susceptible to contracting Covid-19 completely, or if the vaccines just prevent people from suffering from Covid-19. i.e. does the vaccine simply may 95% of people asymptomatic to Covid-19 while they still carry the SARS-CoV-2 virus (just as an asymptomatic does) ????

 

Obviously those suffering minor Covid-19 symptoms present greater risk of spreading the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

How many people are immune to Covid-19, what percentage of the population could contract Covid-19 and not be symptomatic? and thus never spread a higher viral load in the first place ?

 

 

Thus (and this is a question): IF 90% of those exposed to SARS-CoV-2 are asymptomatic of Covid-19, 10% suffer symptoms and the Vaccine has a 95% efficacy, 0.5% of the total suffer symptoms (of varying severity).

For the 90% who would normally be asymptomatic does taking the vaccine make any difference at all?

 

Does the vaccine kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the host or does it simply make that person less susceptible to contracting a case of Covid-19 with symptoms?

 

Its possible SARS-CoV-2 is going nowhere and like a cold we will all be exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but simply not contract Covid-19. 

 

 

 

 

 

Will vaccinated people still be able to tranfer the virus?

Why not have an antibody test first to see if you have had the virus and beat it already. Why would a vaccine be needed then if you have the antibodies already? 

Because of mutations?

Belgium has not got any vaccine.

 

And will not have any like all other EU countries until late January at the earliest.  Maybe later.

 

The point of my post is............  expats in Thailand will not be getting any of the limited supply Thailand has purchased I am very sure of that.

Belgium is one of the main producers of vaccine.

No, I certainly am not becoming a nationalist- chauvinist, but .....

Correct, the voters voted in good trust.

 

But they  were clearly uninformed/unawared. 

 

 

It's like asking :

"you want a water or a beer?"

 

When the majority opted for a beer, they are than informed that the beer is not available right away , as there are negotations going on with the browery, and that it may cost 1000 Baht. 

 

haha..... or to be told that the only beer available is Heineken.......

OK I will answer your question.

Europe should be united against tax heavens, countries that use slave labour, countries that allow pollution, counties that manipulate currencies, and so on.

And who knows? A united Europe could be a step to a united world, without racism and nationalism - as envisaged by a UK 18th century philosopher, William Godwin.
