It's really kind of freaky Walking pneumonia is a thing, and people's reactions to low oxygen saturation vary a lot. I suspect the "collapsing in the street" stuff might have been overstated (a lot of 5G and other conspiracies latched onto it claiming entire streets of people just dropped dead) but as one of the effects of Covid is clotting disorders, embolism and stroke can certainly knock you out like a light even if your only symptoms up that point had been mild.

jabby posted:As soon as the UK government starts vaccinating anybody, there's going to be a huge clamour to include other groups. Especially if lockdown restrictions are still in place. The UN program that we have signed up for distributes 3% (I think) of the populations worth for healthcare workers and the highly vulnerable and then distributes up to 20% of the population but doesn't give any more until all program members get to that 20%. They'll have to start vaccinating because the scheme isn't designed to provide for most people and the government's current plan isn't to vaccine most of the populations anyway.

The UK government hasn't put in an order for the Sinovac vaccine so we won't be getting any doses except through the UN if it's shown to be the only effective vaccine. That is pretty unlikely though, the UK government has 300 million total doses of 5 different vaccines on order, and at least one of those will likely work - I'd expect efficiency results to come out some time in November, and vaccinations to start in NHS workers in December/January depending on government competence. Sinovac is behind Oxford University/AstraZeneca and BioNTech/Pfizer but not by much, and a more effective vaccine gets faster results in the efficiency trials so who knows what comes first.

I think the government will try to avoid vaccinating the majority of the population and stick to the most vulnerable, I just don't think they'd vaccinate healthcare workers if they couldn't include other vulnerable groups without a significant delay.

Yea I'm not worried about government incompetence loving up vaccine production, thats mostly out of their hands. I am worried about the government loving up distribution of the vaccine when it's available and people flooding vaccination centers with no vaccine then getting a half-dose and being told they are perfectly safe.

This is what they did with the last season of Drag Race and it worked quite well (the person was still in the show but they never showed any interviews with them or had the hosts praising them etc). Probably a bit more difficult when his big loving fraktur head keeps bobbing up in the background of each shot though. Just have him with a crimewatch pixelated face at all times

Didn't someone post an FT article a week or so ago saying that the Gov had pre-ordered different vaccines in 60m dose batches, under the assumption that the vaccines would require two doses? The implication being the gov is only planning on vaccinating half the population - healthcare workers and the most vulnerable. Looking forward to ordering Chinese vaccines from the darkweb.

I don't follow football, have no idea who he is beyond someone who seem to actually want to change things and is apparently well known for kicking a ball around. So he could be just starting his career or getting to that stage where he has to choose whether to go into commentary or advertise crisps. Politics could be a good option.

We've ordered Adenovirus vaccines: 100 million doses Oxford University/AstraZeneca; 30 million doses Janssen mRNA vaccines: 30 million doses BioNTech/Pfizer Inactivated whole virus vaccines: 60 million doses Valneva Protein adjuvant vaccines: 60 million doses GSK/Sanofi; 60 million doses Novavax Most of them are looking like they'll be two-dose vaccines, but if more than one work we'll have enough for the majority of the population (which should also limit spread) - you can't ensure what works and what doesn't so making sure you've got enough for the most vulnerable groups in worse cases seems sensible?

Mick Antoniw is the one you want to go for, ideally I would have said we shouldn't have MS's going for it but given that Mick had inertia from being appointed by Mark and that his opponent is the former First Minister, the high profile and so on I understand why that's the choice gone with this time. I'd be arguing for the next go around that if you're going to have somebody to represent the ordinary members it should be an ordinary member themselves.

There was some statement in the press about this a couple of weeks ago I think, can't remember if it was from an actual minister or one of the medical advisers, flat out saying that people shouldn't assume there'd be a vaccine for everyone and it had been a mistake for people to think that, and that it would basically be for vulnerable people (ie anyone who can get a free flu jab, basically) healthcare workers, care home staff and some other groups, but definitely not for most younger people (the implication being rich people would just get it privately of course). I assumed it was one of those statements being made not too loudly so they could point to it later and say 'see, we said we'd do it this way'
