Some good news. It seems one of the trial vaccines offers 90% protection against the virus. The developers have applied for an emergency approval to use the vaccine by the end of the month. UK has an order in place for 30m doses.

They could have stored it in my bedroom when I was growing up. No heating, air-bricks in the wall and frost on the inside of the window. wink

It was discussed on radio 4 today with scientists. The vacs will arrive in small dry ice containers and can be put into refrigerated storage. 

It all sounds a bit easy to me, we still don't know the data.

Pfizer have designed portable storage containers which maintain the required temperature, hold 5000 doses and are reusable.

Didn't Matt Hancock say during the Brexit debate that he had purchased loads of refrigeration to mitigate the concerns of storing the likes of insulin if there we supply problems when we left the EU. Surely he couldn't have been ahead of the curvewink

If that is the case then I don't see a problem.  The Government may not be up to it but the NHS certainly is.  Hopefully they won't let Dildo Harding anywhere near the organisation 😂.

Theres the rub the Govt control the NHS. Remember Lockdown #1, Govt telling us the NHS had plenty of PPE, yet the NHS managers & staff was begging for PPE. The NHS will do what the Govt say-they pay the bills🤷🏻‍♂️☹️
