That's just the point at which they have a working, tested vaccine in the lab. It'll take 6+ months (probably a year) to get from that point to full mass production.

crazy. I guess the good news is that they will all be super fit from all the cycling to the testing center and therefore in better shape to deal with the virus

Yep that was always going to be the case ... as I’ve said previously — the trouble starts from now on as the infected under 30’s pass it on to their parents/ grandparents, older friends ..

And think of the money we'll save on eye tests, travelling that far.

Loved when phil asked hancock whether people would be socialising in pubs this weekend and he couldnt answer. It was a clear no and a big indication of boris plans tomorrow

well young people make news headlines with their illegal partying though

a factor in why they more get the blame


also ironic that old people don't understand this when this virus affects them most along with those who got other medical conditions

but i do not blame elderly for wanting to keep going to the shops (i mean otherwise they are in their homes all day long doing nothing, and being bored)


but agree Jake, last thing we need is start blaming each other
