Exactly, Virus's mutate it's hat they do and usually they'll mutate to be more transmittable but less deadly as virus's don't want to kill their hosts.

The government took the economic rather than health decision to put London in tier 2 and it blew up in their faces so they are using this variant as a smoke screen.

Do you think the vaccines will work?

they'll work, they won't be 100% though but they'll make a huge difference I'm sure

But If a mutation effects it?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

If you want extra free of charge I will gladly send it all over.

That is very nice of you if I could send the kids to you instead that might work better

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Do you think the vaccines will work?

Speaking as a scientist, yes. These aren't even using whole virus particles, so the risk to people is even lower than it usually is.

I would have to stay in a box and do no practical work with them. Yeah, still shit

Gonna be a work in progress for a long time. Especially while it mutates, which so many ignorant people didn’t see coming.

Can this not descend in to a competition of how shit we've all had it in 2020....no one wins that

I think next year is a write off man

People do need a place to vent though. Would rather take it out here than on the missus

Keep seeing people say they want 2020 to end. Funny. This will be with us for most of next year too! At least.

Good point...well made. Vent on.

If you a missus to take it out on you can borrow mine she loves a row.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

But If a mutation effects it?

That shouldn't make much difference as the mode of infection remains the same.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Mine is also a teacher so she takes it out on me when she needs to. Might get her to sign up here and wind up Grendel

 

[clint van damme]

But If a mutation effects it?

if what I understand is correct the vaccine still works against a mutation though it may not be as effective but the virus can't mutate into something totally unrecognisable.

It’s absolutely awful this is with no end in sight

 

[David O'Day]

Do you think the vaccines will work?

yes, vaccines are designed to deal with mutations.

My missus was pouring her heart out just now in the car, fed up, had enough, etc. Find myself constantly reminding her that it’s all of us and not a personal vendetta against her.

And of course pointing out that we’d just lost to Sheffield Wednesday.

I think of 2021 as Marcel Hilssner

I wouldn't say there's an end in sight but I would say the vaccine offers a real possibility of big improvements on the current situation.

Not this year is the right and should have been.
It's only the pretend Gov't pretenting to pedal normality to you.
Next year is and always was going to provide the solution and freedoms wanted.
Most experts would have known this to be so.

I get that, and she probably does too. Mine has spent the afternoon a nervous wreck about the wedding and then swearing at Bakayoko for the last 30 minutes of that game

As I read that first sentence I thought it was the Wednesday result she was referring to.

If you a missus to take it out on you can borrow mine she loves a row.

She from Oxford or Cambridge?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

She from Oxford or Cambridge?

The definition of "have a row with someone" is: to fight with someone. "have a row with someone" means. to fight with someone.

I’m actually pretty calm about it. I’m a bit like you usually, high highs and low lows, if you don’t mind me saying. But from what I’m seeing the vaccines aren’t going to be massively affected and compare that to not knowing what the fuck was going on last April and no vaccine in sight. I’d take now over then every time. Small positives.

I was more annoyed last week when the boozers didn’t open for my birthday.

 

[David O'Day]

The end is still in sight, this doesn't change any timeframes

As has been said this is not the first new variant of Covid-19, it doesn't look more deadly.

This is down to government mistakes as much if not more than a new mutation. It's not even a new mutation either

 

[Liquid Gold]

This has put a right downer on things for me. Barely feel like I'm living just scraping by eating to make sure I don't die, going to bed to wake up and not leave the house, just existing with nothing happening and life on pause while precious time disappears. can't be fucked with it all.

 

[wingy]

Not sure I understand the question sorry, Wingy? If the new strain arises in the last few months and is more infectious it will still take time to blow up into a large number of cases.

How long from one to a thousand,compound I assume.from memory the regular strain rose from 9-1000 in Coventry across 10weeks in autumn

That's a good way of looking at it. The problem is the future is all so uncertain and nobody, least of all the politicians, really can say what next year holds. Best not to worry about things we can't control yet though.

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Hard to say, but let's assume it doubled every day, that would take just 11 days. But for a variety of factors it may not have done so

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Lockdowns don’t bother me I’m not a great fan of people anyway and don’t drink so the pubs not an issue.

Work has been chaotic and I understand that is even worse at the moment (I am off sick after displacing two discs in my back working overtime).

Just want to get back to live football

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

this is no way to live life, I’m so fed up it’s painful

Hang on in there mate.
