[News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

[dazzer6666]

Not suggesting it's good news looking back, but certainly is moving forward, in my opinion;

From a Guardian article today;


Dumb/Oversimplified conclusion - JVT is suggesting the highest priority 33% of us getting the vaccine will stop a very, very high proportion of deaths.

I'm surprised more hasn't been made of this - vaccinating the 33% most at risk potentially allows things to return more or less to normal.......................

I’ve heard it will be Brighton Centre. (From a nurse at the Dr’s)

I’ve just registered to be a volunteer vaccinator. I’ll not be having any nonsense from you old geezers when it’s your turn, please - it’ll just be a small prick.

Can't wait for my jab, then I can have a crack at using that chat up line again myself

UK emergency approval for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine expected within days, and possibly as soon as tomorrow (Wednesday).

Economist hinting it could well be tomorrow...

*checks watch*

...later today.

APPROVED. Fantastic news.

[Hugo Rune]

What a wonderful day.

Hopefully the Oxford one will get approval soon.

 

[Mellotron]

****ing get in. Come on.

Let’s get this prick.

 

[Lethargic]

Yes to both...but only if served with a pickled egg AND a sachet of mayo, served at the table [emoji106]

Mayo with a pork pie are you mad?
Has to be Branston pickle.

Anyone else finding this news a bit.......emotional ? (The vaccine approval, not the news that someone would actually have mayo with a pork pie)

 

[dazzer6666]

...as well as the Pfizer approval, seems hopeful approval for Oxford vaccine could be rapid too. Hats off to the MRHA - suspect there have been some very long hours worked to get this done.

Yep .... very strange but a huge step towards a 'normal' life.

The people who developed the vaccine need a Knight/Dame Hood.

I wouldn't argue with a bit of pickle but it also needs English mustard.

 

[Blue3]

Vaccine news is overwhelming and hopfully the first frontline workers start getting this asap I would think the Government would be very keen to see this happen.

The Oxford vaccine cannot be far behind and then inoculation of the nation can really get going.

Pork pie got to be English Mustard

 

[Madafwo]

Sat on the sofa with a cuppa giving the boy a cuddle while he eats breakfast and I saw the news, to say today has started off immeasurably better than yesterday is an understatement.

 

[Marshy]

Great stuff. When it arrives on site at BSUH I will let you know. But as we all now know.. I suspect we will be underway next week. The hospital is ready
