petemcewan Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Andyofborg, I don't see breaking up big pharma will do any good at all. ECCOnoob, I agree with you entirely. Ben Goldacre's book "Bad Pharma" is worth a read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know the demographic of the cases that are contributing to the slow increases in cases. There has to be an identifiable vector that is driving the increase. According to Greg Fell the rise is in ‘working age’ people. It is also expected that a rise in cases in school children will be seen soon. Wherever unvaccinated people are mixing indoors cases will spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, there are many people out there who believe they are somehow immune to catching or spreading Covid once they've had their jabs. As I understand it, nobody is claiming that any vaccine totally stops infection, only that it is likely to mitigate bad outcomes from it. Similarly with passing it on. (a vaccinated person) "is less likely to transmit it to someone else". "since the vaccines don't provide 100% protection from infection, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people continue to wear masks and social distance even after they've been vaccinated". https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-03-vaccinated-people-coronavirus.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmiss Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I think it’s telling that the latest Shielding email I received informs me that shielding ends on 31st March but still advises me to carry on with the same precautions and extends priority access to supermarket delivery. In fact the only difference seems to be the withdrawal of SSP with the advisory to discuss specific precautionary actions with your employer if you can’t work from home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
