    There are no guarantees with the vaccinations either. They have tested what they can in a short amount of time but the rest is to be seen still. What it looks like is you can get it again but it becomes less dangerous. You instead could become a spreader.

    Why qoute myself when I have already said similar then? It wouldn’t surprise me if 25% of the UK had already had the virus. It then comes down to immunisation and how long it helps for. Can it be caught again? Is it less dangerous the 2nd, 3rd,4th time? Will a vaccine be found that gives a...

    Yes that is a way we might go. Every disease/virus is different. Many viruses mutate to be able to pass in more easily. Most of the time they end up less dangerous but still kill about the sane amount as they get passed on more easily. Immunity depends on many barriers. IIRC measles is one...

    And also unable to eradicate others. The difference this time is the amount of effort going into defeating it. If they can come up with something like a lifelong vaccination they will be able to eradicate it. If not then it will most probably stick around but only in the poor countries unless...

    We don't know which way this will go. As things stand it will always be around. But medical research is an amazing thing. Vaccinations have been produced in record time. An improvement will be looked for. Who would be surprised if something was found to eradicate the virus.

    Would you expect a small company to pay 100k to take away a risk? Would you expect a worldwide company that makes billions a year to spend 100k to take away the same risk? First of all it depends on levels of danger. If you can put a fix in place for reasonable cost then it should be done. But...

    So you don't understand what dangerous means? 🤔 If every time you crossed the road there was a good chance of getting hit by a car something drastic would have to change. That is dangerous. But you don't frequently get hit by a car but there is still a chance of it happening. So the choices are...

    Production must have been 'ramped up' to make millions of bottles that wouldn't normally have been made. Machines can only run up to a certain speed. A new bit of kit can't be ordered, manufactured, built, people trained and then up and running in a month or two. Our new machinery has a lead...

    There is no need for it at all. It puts pressure on us that we could do without. Anyone who is or lives with anyone who is classed as at risk have been told to stay at home and not come to work. The same for anyone who has any sort of symptoms. They have to stay away for 14 days. But we still...

    It isn't vague. It is very simple. So to put it into simple terms....it is cost against amount of protection given. Anything dangerous in any way isn't allowed. Everything must be risk assessed. You wouldn't be expected to pay 100k to stop someone scratching their finger but if there is a...

    Look forward to the day it could happen. Not been able to visit wife and kids since last summer. And anyway she doesn't argue with me most of the time as she has learnt over the years that I am usually right. If I am unsure I listen. If I know I am right I am like a dog with a bone. I would...

    So what attracted you to this lunatic asylum? 🤯 It is always good to get a different perspective. Too many people can't see outside their own garden.
