Well horse not donkey, tasted like beef.

Horrifying reality of Covid as 2nd wave sweeps globe from US to France to China

 

[loncell]

I honestly think we're in for a minimum of 2 years of restrictions. The problem will manifest from a viral problem to a social problem with unemployment figures shooting through the roof.
The leisure and sporting industries and arts plus the holiday and travel industries will be left desimated with 100,000's laid off.
Not only this but subsidiary companies will suffer along side these and with less working less gets spent.

So take say football club with no income. No catering, no coperate, no stewards then say companies who make supporters club sellables.
And all will suffer, the latest Man Utd account show they are £1/2 billion in debt.

Point is, most businesses are teetering on the edge and lots won't survive.

At the end of all this what will be left will be like an economical train crash damage far far more than a virus that kills 0.005% of the population.

Coronavirus not among 10 most common causes of death in September - ONS

Not sure how this fits in with the insistence that EVERY death is being put down to coronavirus 🤔

That'd be bloody unlucky, catching it twice! Fingers crossed it's something else.

Hope all is well mate and nothing serious.

Pfizer announce their vaccine is 90% effective and the UK has enough pre orders to vaccinate 15m people.

All done in private enterprise.

Pfizer is likely to make buckets of money off this. This is a good thing. They will have provided ridiculous value for money for society and the company will deserve it's riches.

This is the free market delivering.

Question will you take the vaccine?

I won't be taking it.

 

[pieeater2015]

Can not stand needles myself so i will not be getting it.

 

[bazcfc1]

Some people the vaccine maybe mandatory for those who have to shield ie copd patiants diabetics asthma those with long term illness ect

 

[rapidwrinkly]

If possible I'll be first in the queue it's a good thing.

 

[Toddy2]

I'm volunteering to hold down all the ones that say "I won't be having it"

 

[teddybloat]

For me covid is a largely mild illness. I had it earlier in the year with no symptoms.

I won't be taking a vaccine until I've seen how it affects people years down the line.

I think many people will see the risk of catchjng covid to not be in balance with the risk of taking a vaccine that has no track record and has been fisher through the testing phase.

And, hey, i can freeroll off others taking it anyway. If everyone around me is vaccinated I'll be in a good position.

So , take your medicine the rest of you.

Its great news for sure regarding the vaccine.

But questions will arise the long term side effects potentially as well.
