How would people prove they've had Covid?  Would they need an antibody test result showing this?

Thai sniffer dogs trained to detect Covid-19 in human sweat proved nearly 95% accurate during training and could be used to identify coronavirus infections at busy transport hubs within seconds, the head of a pilot project said.

Are the EU trying to make the UK more Brexit?

Remember when people were worried about Trump stealing other countries vaccines?

If you think young people don’t need the vaccine because they’re all at lower risk, consider this.
People in their 20s and 30s may have roughly the same risk of dying of covid as people in their 50s of seasonal flu.

Which is what? 0.5%?

I don't know. 

I think it was just trying to dispel the myth that all young people shrug it off exactly the same as they do the flu.

Over 50 years olds generally shrug off the flu as well.

Of course.

But as many people in their 50s die of flu as 20s or 30s die of Covid.

In other words, Covid has much higher death rates among young people than flu.

Dunno if it's just cause the sun is shining here in Glasgow but I am feeling very optimistic that this is almost behind us! The vaccines are so good and the numbers are amazing. 

I wonder when this thread will eventually drop off page 1... that will be sign this shit is over (the pandemic... but also kind of this thread lol )

Would that be any actual benefit whatsover? If the EU wanted to invest in more production infrastructure they could have done so at any point surely, as we did? AZ aren't stopping them. I suspect the issue is that it has to be sold at cost, so even if they didn't have a monopoly on production, none of the other pharmaceutical companies would want to make it.

I cant imagine most pharam companies would look kindly on the EU doing that with patents either

I read this as a question at first, thought he was being oddly confrontational, then realised he meant the World Health Organisation 😄

If we continue to keep increasing to the numbers talked about previously 600/700k per day for the next 2 weeks - we could genuinely see the groups 1-9 completed on "Good Friday" - the papers will have a field day if it is!

Ha, I did the same!! It initially felt a bit 'Oi, you looking at my bird?'.

Depending on second doses, that could well be the case!
