The Race for a Vaccine. The Road to Demaskus

Meant to be easier to transport as it only needs to be stored at -20, Pfizers vaccine needs to be stored at -80

They are all trying to one up each other. The Russians will be 105% effective

Even better than that, stable for a month at refrigerator temperatures. The other impressive news is in the group that received the vaccine there were no severe cases of Covid, only a small number of mild cases.

The US will probably have most of the at risk groups vaccinated by February going by the dosages the Government have lined up before year end.

Weā€™ll have vaccines coming out the wazoo in Europe

Sounds like itā€™ll be a later stage one for us.

Can you request a Neopolitan vaccine?

When will we see one of these vaccines getting proper approval so we can move forward out of this sorry mess?

id imagine Q3-Q4 next year at the earliest

Everything going well the FDA should authorize for emergency use a month from now. Then itā€™s a matter of how quickly it can be mass produced, probably first quarter of 2021.

Every day feels like an eternity.

I hope the work on it doesnā€™t just stop over Christmas.

forget about Christmas this year I am afraid, Holohan wonā€™t have it, he wonā€™t allow a meaningful Christmas, heā€™ll close the off licences if he isnā€™t stopped soon

I have given up on Christmas.

If we could be back rocking and rolling and I mean properly back rocking and rolling (Full Stadiums/Full Pubs, No masks) by next May or June, Iā€™d be at peace with that.

I havenā€™t much faith that we will be though.

Iā€™d say next September is a good target

This second lockdown is desperate stuff altogether Tassotti.

The novelty of watching a series of nothing GAA matches for 6 hours every Saturday and Sunday has well and truly worn off for me anyway.

I imagine Iā€™ll be feeling the same way circa 3pm on Saturday, assuming it even gets the go ahead

Would you and @BruidheanChaorthainn ever consider giving each other a PM or a phone call? I think youā€™re both suffering in a very similar manner over the course of this thing, and you could be a great foil for one another. It could be a TFK version of the buddy system.

Iā€™d urge you both to consider it very strongly.

You must have been one of the best prepared people on the planet for a lock down given you spent the vast majority of your time in a basement doing nothing all day anyway.

Now if you feel that you canā€™t go on
Because all of your hope is gone,
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion,
And your world around is crumblinā€™ down;
Reach out (come on, reach on out for me)
Reach out (reach out for me.)
Iā€™ll be there, with a love that will shelter you.
Iā€™ll be there, with a love that will see you through.
Iā€™ll be there to always see you through.
