Britain will get first access to a coronavirus vaccine being developed by Oxford University with pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca poised to make 30 million for the UK by September - if it works. The Business Secretary, today announced a deal has been done between the university and the company to manufacture the vaccine which is currently in clinical trials.

May be we will learn more from AZN tomorrow - sounds at the moment like contract manufacture???

buywell no death rate will be under 2% and many people are not being reported, meaning it will be even lower. In efficient countries death rate is around 1% or less.
We need to keep isolating however until there is a vaccine or very good antiviral I thing in next couple of months.

Surely AZN shares should rise tomorrow.

S,
Yes, all those injected with vaccine have produced antibodies and become immune to coronavirus.
Phase 1 trials in humans already started a few weeks ago, news anticipated end of May.

----- buywell tells it like it is on Covid-19 -----
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Politicians are now having to face a stark choice:


Carry on with lockdowns ie quarantine which bankrupts their country as we are seeing now , GDP's dropping 25% , businesses going bust and unemployment going above 20%
and that is only after wave one , approx. 2 months economic damage.


or


In the absence of a vaccine as there was in 1918 when the Spanish Flu pandemic struck

Let Covid-19 have its way with the population until 'herd immunity' reaches over 50% and the virus runs out of fresh meat to infect and subsides itself.



This is what happened in 1919 a year after Spanish Flu kicked off , it subsided in the summer sun as it ran out of fresh human meat to infect and died off. It was not eradicated , it played itself out.


------------------------------------------------------


Numbers of deaths V Size of Population in the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu Pandemic

There were 1.8 Billion people in 1918


Records back then were not what they are today

Around 50 Million people were thought to have died from Spanish Flue V 33% of the world acquiring the virus ie 600M people

This would have equated to a kill rate of just over 8% V case numbers and was done over a period of 12 months in three distinct waves.





Humans have not changed much in 100 years and looking at what is happening today and using the Spanish Flu model , which is the only one that currently bares any resemblance to SARS-COV-2 gives some idea as to what is most likely to take place.


Bringing the world to a standstill and locking down people in their own home has brought the first wave under control to those countries that have carried out such actions.

BUT even as buywell keys case numbers are rising in many USA states, case numbers are rising again in China, Germany and South Korea after relaxation of lockdown measures.

World population in 2020 is 7.8 Billion

4.33 times what it was in 1918 at 1.8 Billion

Today Covid-19 has a kill rate of about 7% from this first wave, not to dissimilar to that of Spanish flu

IF it is herd immunity that will stop the world from going broke , then politicians have to let wave 2 , wave 3 and further waves hit us till circa 50% of the world has had Covid-19.

This has to happen because no vaccine exists

Enforced lockdowns for months = world poverty and civil unrest in many countries

So buywell crunches the numbers and they don't look pretty for herd immunity acquisition:

50% of 7.8 billion = 3.9 Billion cases
A kill rate of 7% = 273 Million deaths

Look at it another way and if the Spanish Flu deaths were 50 Million V a population then of 1.8 Billion

With todays population of 7.8 Billion , 4.33 tims greater = 50M X 4.33

Gives 216.7 Million deaths
Average the two and we look at 245 Million people having to die to achieve herd immunity in 12 months in the absence of having no vaccine.

That is the blood price to save the world economy from collapse

Who would want to be a politician today to have to decide ?

We are now hearing of children being affected badly by Covid-19 , something that did not happen in china.

buywell has found there are currently over 30 mutated strains around of Covid-19 and more occurring all the time

Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill juvenile, elderly, or already weakened patients; in contrast, the 1918 pandemic predominantly killed previously healthy young adults.

Again looking back:

There are several possible explanations for the high mortality of the 1918 influenza pandemic. Some research suggests that the specific variant of the virus had an unusual aggressive nature. One group of researchers recovered the original virus from the bodies of frozen victims, and found that transfection in animals caused a rapid progressive respiratory failure and death through a cytokine storm (overreaction of the body’s immune system). It was then postulated that the strong immune reactions of young adults ravaged the body, whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults resulted in fewer deaths among those groups.


Today a cytokine storm is being associated with Covid-19 cases , sepsis and septic shock being the result of the body's own immune system over reacting to the disease and damaging the body's own organs in the process



Read this for Spanish Flu data

I think with the good news out after the US market close and impeding RNS tomorrow morning, AZN may continue it's upward momentum towards £90.
