but how long does immunity last?

Well considering last i read there was only 7 confirmed cases of re-infection in the whole of europe I'm guessing long enough? There was a lot of talk around anti bodies which is all well and good, but its t cells that are the most important apparently.

All info has to be taken with some scepticism though I guess its still in flux

Is it possible we'll hear of both the trial results and it being granted regulatory approval at the same time?

I think i've read that they are reviewing the safety data in a rolling manor which makes that potentially possible?

the companies arent doing that: they will reveal the trial results first to boost stock/get more orders

Its worth noting that Austria and other countries going into stricter measures are putting in a curfew of some sort.

South Australia absolutely having a meltdown over 18 cases just shows how different life is in a “zero covid” environment. It’s easy to say with hindsight but I wish we’d just eliminated it in the summer when we had the chance. The upside is you can basically have full normality. Downside is you need to lockdown hard and fast when cases do emerge.

This is a quote from a Daily Mail article but:

Government sources claim safety and efficacy data from Oxford and AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine — another one of the jabs the UK has bought — is on track to be published later this week.

Sounds promising for news this week!

This is incredible, the best bit is that Piers isn’t shouting. He’s very calm and listing off nearly all of the governments failures.

No, but it’s still good in that it would lessen demand on the other vaccines that we are in on. 

[steviewevie]

Need a vaccine that doesn't need to be stored at -80C or whatever it is, so can be more easily transported and delivered globally.

There is a several second delay to Piers speaking and Matt hearing it so him nodding isn't to the same words Piers is saying.

Oh yeah I meant it’s incredible in general, I didn’t really mean about the nodding bit. It’s more about what Piers is saying and how he’s saying it for me.

Anyone else find it really odd hearing Boris Johnson say he was ‘bursting with antibodies’?

He always says silly analogies. Earlier on he was talking about “boxing gloves” to defeat the virus
