So ok...the bulk of the population would probably survive covid..that's great...so would you sacrifice the old and vulnerable???

Don't get what? I may not be an epidemiologist (there seem to be plenty about) but I can understand a string of numbers compared to another string of numbers. This disease has NEVER been dangerous to the bulk of the population. ruining our economy is foolhardy, and in fact COWARDLY, for the action is being taken not out of fear of the disease, but fear of the consequences of not doing anything.

#10187 Not only that Marcus, but deaths are pretty much equal to the average of the same week over the last 5 years (as indeed they have been in previous months this year with the exception of April to mid may). There is no need for lockdowns of any sort.

PB, I wouldn't worry about the index. All our (different) predictions about what would happen upon promotion to the 250 seemed to come to nothing. If by chance we get nudged back the other way at the next review, then we'll simply be back to where we were 6 months ago - and was it really much different? My focus now is simply what JD mentioned in the interims webcast as expected newsflow before the end of the year. If I remember correctly that's 3 possible deals for OxBox and the chance of spinning another product out (as with ProSavin). On top of this is the wildcard of the vaccine. So that's where we are and basically it's a situation we are all well used to - waiting for news.

If you really want to understand the epidemic read The invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenberg. Amazon about £13 pounds.

Gareth, A lot of people will suffer from this pandemic (and I mean aside from the actual virus victims / families) but there are undoubtedly people out there who have made an absolute fortune from it. The press report that I read said that the senior consultants were on £25k per day, so some of those nearer to the bottom must have been on proportionally less, but government contracts anywhere are sources of endless funds from people who never seem to have to account for the way they spend it. I suspect that consultants for the railways, environment, green energy and all kinds of other good stuff will be milking just as much.

[gareth jones] 18/10/2020 15:36

Boston Consulting Group reportedly paid £10M for 40 consultants for four months work on track and trace work equating to about £7K per day per person. Defended by Michael Gove as value for money on Andrew Marr Show. OXB making vaccine for AZ on “mates rates” in the public interest. At least we have the moral high ground!

The NHS is preparing to introduce a coronavirus vaccine soon after Christmas. Trials have shown it will cut infections and save lives, Jonathan Van-Tam, the deputy chief medical officer, has privately revealed. He told MPs last week that stage three trials of the vaccine created at Oxford University and being manufactured by AstraZeneca mean a mass rollout is on the horizon as early as December. Thousands of NHS staff are to undergo training to administer a vaccine before the end of the year. The government changed the law this weekend to expand the number of health professionals able to inoculate the public. The regulations will enable pharmacists, dentists, midwives and paramedics to administer jabs. HTTps://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/hope-for-covid-vaccine-at-new-year-25b52b86s

Russia allegedly claims that Oxford virus turns people into monkeys, according to the Daily Mail: Yes, thats quite true For FX, 2 of our members, Munchclown and QAZ had a shot each earlier this year, they now swing from the rafters talking gibbonish! Glad to see the Russians are 'On It!'

Gareth, there is the curse of my sweep matey, but we live in a strange world these days. It was bad enough when all those of a nervous disposition had to fret about was death from Brexit. Now we have death from coronavirus, economic death from the lockdown and the possibility of an even weirder white house to spook them.We have had no bad OXB news. Quite the opposite and we are due more this year. Remains to be seen what JD can do before the 31st ;)

Mr President Sir, it appears you have created a Halloween horror show with your sweepstake. Perhaps I should have been bold and gone for 666p. Seriously, still plenty of good news between now and Christmas if Christmas is still on the calendar. Potentially a good time to top up if you have any spare cash?
