wow, lockdown from just 4 cases?!

Go hard, go fast... or something like that, just for three days initially while they get contact tracing done. Then...

Are New Zealand's borders open, especially to places like Victoria, Australia?

I’m pretty sure I heard the borders are shut until March 2021. Anyone coming in has to do a quarantine if I’m correct.

The temporary lockdown makes sense, could save the virus running out of control again, otherwise they could find themselves back in a full lockdown all over again, or having to live with permanent restrictions like we are.

I thought if brexit was so popular, it'd be easy to find someone who agreed?...

Only open to returning residents, with mandatory 14 day quarantine on arrival. Been a few dicks doing runners from the facilities though.

Yes indeed. The big controversy currently is that those who do return now have to pay for their own quarantine too (unless they are going for more than 90 days).

Nope, absolutely no way I am taking that.

No, I wouldn’t either but I do hope it’s successful. Not only for the health of the participants but if it’s not, with bad side effects, it’s going to be a field day for the anti vaxxers. This could then cause a low take up on the properly tested/trialled vaccines

It is the great tragedy of my life that this is behind a paywall. All I can see is 'it's like only lefties are supposed to find romance'. Sense of victimhood apparently present and correct!

I'm so low down the chain in terms of who would actually get a vaccine not sure how I feel 

Has Russia said how they are distributing it? Over 60s or something?

Yeah, if that's "all" she wants then the bar is set pretty low.

Russian vaccine is defiinitely just a placebo I think.

But that's not really the question, would you support the Russian company setting up a facility here or a UK company buying a license to produce it here so it could start the process of being accredited here by the MHRA?

We aren't just going to take Putin's word that it's safe but we shouldn't right it off as useless either.

How these vaccines are distributed is going to get political.

I remember seeing that the companies are setting up lots of separate supply chains within countries because they don't trust other countries to be able to control themselves if vaccine materials are moving through it.

Think that Russian vaccine comes a bit early, doesn't it? I mean, it'll be great if it works but my gut feeling expect(ed) a vaccine somewhere around januari.
