As this virus is in terms Corona family the same as flu it's likely immunity will be relatively short lived,say 6-12 months as is the same with flu. Hence a vaccine is critical and I can see this being another annual vaccine that Will be rolled out every year.
Clinical trials beginning now on treatment at least. Mixture of anti viral, steroids and the antimalarial youd have heard about.
The anti-malarial drug being quoted. It's the same as issued to British troops whenever they visit malaria zones, and it is widely hated. Most troops go to their own Doctor to get something else. It can have some serious side-effects.

Is it correct that test kits are going to be available at a price from the likes of boots ,or did that option not get followed through.
I read somewhere that the drug under trial also contains the aids wonder drug
Now I am cutting, I feel the ripping in my flesh.Now I'm bleeding, I'm satisfied

Morning everyone. Just thought I'd post something positive. Sort of. Had to go shopping this morning, Sainsburys (yes, I know). Wasn't looking forward to the queues, the fighting over the last packet of Penne, the being pushed out of the way etc. However, was there by 9am, grabbed a trolley and stood in line behind 20 or so to get in. Thought I was going to be there for ages but nope. 5 minutes and we are inside. It was really quiet. Not many people in there. Everyone kept their distance, were polite, and every shelf was stocked. Toilet rolls, fresh fruit and veg, milk, bread, canned stuff etc and I've never seen so many cans of Lager in my entire life. Tills were great, I was in and out of there in 30 minutes with everything I wanted.
I then nipped across to Iceland. Was even better. Considering it's one of their bigger stores, there were 4 of us in there, and again, shelves and freezers were all stocked.
I was out and back home within an hour. I guess the panic buying idiots have realised there's no point and it's pretty much back to normal.
Bags i mentioned Tesco golden hill was the same yesterday ,Which store did you goto not worried about sainsburys more the iceland store,

A bit of light relief. For those aircraft buffs on here i watched this video yesterday all i heard was an A10 warthog firing a quick burst, wend laughed at the trump, i laughed as it sounded just like a tankbuster. guy needs a slap though as imagine having to use that handset

I imagine in time this may be the case re the tests but not for a while. When they begin testing the community they will likely use pharmacies to draw the blood for those recommended for testing. I think we are some way off being able to request an antibody test yourself probably.
The antivirals they are trailing are ones commonly used for HIV yes. HAART treatments they are called. Highly Active Antiretroviral Treatments.

Cheers fer that i hadn't realised how far aid drugs had come from the days of shitload of different pills, i've heard that not only do these pills halt the symptoms in a sufferer but also dont allow hiv to be transmitted from the infected. is this true or a myth

Yes with time and the right strict medication and testing regime, viral suppression becomes so good that there is effectively no risk of transmitting HIV through unprotected sex. I believe the risk of transmission with needle sharing etc. is not eliminated though.
Not sure on the annual vaccine. I’ve started a new role so haven’t been able to follow as closely recently but so far I don’t think we’ve seen enough evidence that the virus would mutate and we’d need updated vaccines each year.
This app could be really interesting and how it’s used - essentially telling people what to do and it would inform them if they’ve been in close proximity of someone who has the virus. Could be a game changer in bringing us towards normality

Malarone is the one that gives you serious nightmares.

Given how our government has handled the situation so far they will probably approve and encourage the use of the app a week before the vaccine is released.

Great. So some f**kwit will stockpile 780 of them, while the rest of us wait for the panic to subside.
Indeed. And, as Gas365 has said, the Government's handling of this is looking more chaotic by the day. The daily briefing now becoming embarrassing as they promise more testing, "tomorrow". Last night even the Daily Telegraph turned on them.

Johnson says "Testing is the key to the Puzzle" so only weeks behind the WHO, who said TEST, TEST, TEST!

The Daily Torygraph turning on it’s own is seriously more worrying than the death count.

I had taken the view that now is not the time to be overly critical of the Government, whatever my viewpoint. But, we have now completed a full two months since the onset of this pandemic in the UK and the evidence is mounting of chaos in the Government's response. Not even the scientists can cover them. Frankly, the comparison with Germany is embarrassing.
