Shouldn't all this vaccine research be open source anyway?

I guess they'd want to keep patient information secure.

Saw this on Facebook earlier- does indicate there may have been something more to it...

I preferred the unsafe shows we went to before 😂

Then American pharmaceutical companies will never be able to make ridiculous profit on it so that won’t happen unfortunately.

I'm not convinced social distancing will still be with us at Christmas from the panic about the economy we're seeing

I hear you, but the virus doesn't care about the economy.  If cases are on the up at Christmas, the economy won't survive without social distancing.  It's not an either/or proposition.

If things have got to feb and there has not been some serious change then we should start getting worried.

If things have got to Feb and there has not been some serious change it will already have been cancelled.

No idea, but it’s at 5 live in the Commons so not long to wait. Sorry if you knew that already!

Seems a bit odd to make a big statement about Leicester without saying that's what it's about? Wonder if if will be on BBC news too.

It’ll be live streamed on Sky News YouTube channel I would think.

Could it be about this?  Not sure how tests can be dangerous?  Thought they were pretty much just long cotton buds.

So is this just our test?  Or corona tests worldwide?

If you don't test you don't get cases. I've been saying once they open up they'll find a way for the numbers to be supressed, I just didn't think it would happen so quickly....

If they're truly unsafe SURELY this should've been found before?

No way, that can’t be true.

This can’t be anything good...

It’s time to reunite the daily briefers, we went through Cummings together, went through Alok Sharma paying tribute to everyone and Matt Hancock making up figures to reach his own target. We can get through this one too!

Yep the article is viewable in the ahem techie view on the browser- it's exactly as it says and Hancock addresses the house at 5 on it

I'm not having that this is a coincidence on the same day either....

As it's the house not a press conference it'll be BBC Parliament at the very least

I'm pretty sure there is something in addressing the house about something this important vs directly addressing the public ....something is definitely changing in the response.

If the test really was unsafe and has to be halted surely that would warrant more of a public announcement? I'm just clinging onto something that might make it not true..

I watch on YouTube, Sky News will probably stream it. Or The Guardian.
