We don't know what we don't know.

Let's wait and see, and in the meantime all right-minded people will be taking all the precautions governments have been advising since early Spring. If we/they did, the situation right now would be pretty good with economies looking much healthier.

I was in for more too soon at 3% down.

max - you are correct of course. Cheshire needs to think a little more; he is probably someone who spends his lottery winnings before he has even bought a ticket. Lol

Live Latest coronavirus news: Vaccine is 'likely to be imperfect' and 'might not prevent infection', warns head of UK task force


Global Health Security Team
28 OCTOBER 2020 • 8:19AM



The first generation of Covid-19 vaccines "is likely to be imperfect" and "might not work for everyone", the chair of the UK Vaccine Taskforce has said.

No vaccine in the history of medicine "has been as eagerly anticipated" and it is "widely regarded as the only true exit strategy from the pandemic", Kate Bingham wrote in The Lancet.

However, she cautioned against over-optimism and that any vaccine might not work for everyone, or for very long.

"We do not know that we will ever have a vaccine at all," she wrote. "It is important to guard against complacency and over-optimism.

"The first generation of vaccines is likely to be imperfect, and we should be prepared that they might not prevent infection but rather reduce symptoms, and, even then, might not work for everyone or for long."

Markets moving very fast with everyone trying to call the bottom but we won't see that today in my opinion.

We do not obey their rules as we already have left.. The Q is, for the sake of a deal now will Boris bent over to Brussels or not. Is it going to be 69 or in all 4

[mitchy] 28/10/2020 08:34

Now that I agree with. Spot on.

MorningLost the gains -4% and still going....Monday we were looking good for 30p what a difference a couple of days make?

[mitchy] 28/10/2020 08:33

Not much news out today to arrest the sell off. Covid numbers are just going to get worse in the short term at least.Lloy figures out tomorrow which I'm assuming will be no more than 'adequate' .

[maxk] 28/10/2020 08:29

Are we still paying them?

Are we still obeying their rules??



Cos if we are, we are still in.

They've made a mess of Lloyds sp, yesterday I was a few K up today I'm several K down.

[cheshire pete] 28/10/2020 08:25

We've left the EU, we're soon to leave the Single Market / Customs Union. Boris knows he can't accept any deal that the left media could possibly interpret as not actually leaving.

[gbh2] 28/10/2020 08:25

I pity the Yanks how do they choose between a raging narcissist and a member of the walking Dead.

[maxk] 28/10/2020 08:14

Small problem...we havent left yet, and I suggest you dont hold your breath.

[mitchy] 28/10/2020 08:11

Nah...Biden has been exposed . Trump will walk it in the end. A lot of the early voters who voted for Biden want to change their vote. Biden can't even remember the name of Trump. He's a walking disaster. Don't get me wrong I'm not a Trump supporter.

Recall Soros saying at the time of the EU Ref., something about you can't unscramble the omelette. By leaving the EU, we've proved him wrong.

This caught my eye, whilst eating my Weetabix. About CBI...Ben Gerstein28 Oct 2020 6:15AM"We are all Leavers now"? We are all liars now, apparently.The CBI fought tooth and nail to soften Brexit until it was nothing; they were not misrepresented as opposing and undermining the country's democratic choice, that's exactly what they did, until Boris was elected and they saw the writing on the wall.... Daily Telegraph

The CBI has a long record of recommending damaging EU economic policies to the U.K, starting with the Exchange Rate Mechanism which caused a deep recession and continuing with support for policies causing the banking crash. Why should we trust their advice on Brexit?

[gbh2] 28/10/2020 07:31

I think the Market both sides of the pond are expecting a Biden win, he's 9 points ahead in last figures.

[trikytree] 27/10/2020 23:53

Do all other countries use the crazy method of counting anyone who died after testing positive within the past 28 days. Utter bull*hit. Test positive then get hit by a bus. It’s covid. Test positive but be 86, diabetic and in need of a heart transplant - its covid.

[mitchy] 27/10/2020 23:24

Is it me or has the U.S effectively 'contained' it's death rate from Covid to between 500 and 1000 a day?
The new cases may be hitting new highs but the death rate seems to have levelled off somewhat.
Not that I'm trying to put a 'positive spin' on this terrible disease. Just calling it like I see it.
The world figures for both cases and deaths continue to grow.
Stay safe...dont bath with a friend.
