Are we getting a vaccine against future impotens?

Does it work when it's already happened? :? Asking for a friend :shock:

Impotence isn't a virus but the vaccine goes on sale with a free pack of Viagra with each purchase. :)

980 on 10th April, so 3 weeks after lockdown? Brace yourself.
Back then I said we'll get better at these lockdowns. I hope I'm right, but fear I was wrong.

I wonder When they calculate that they have a high contact failure rate with Test Track and Trace are they factoring in that the very people they're trying to contact almost by definition must include a large proportion of people who are by now infected and possibly in hospital or worse.

I suspect we'll see 500-600 daily deaths a few more times now over the next few weeks, but don't expect it to get any higher (also that's the reported rather than actual day which is more smoother)

Looking for a positive the case numbers for the UK do seem to have settled with the 2nd wave peaking three weeks ago now, while other European countries have been hit much harder and we do way more testing than all of them now (tracing is debatable)

Unfortunately, I suspect you're wrong. We're only a week into lockdown. Round here, the attitude seemed to be party hard before the restrictions come in. So I would expect this is not the peak for a week or so.
Hope I'm wrong and you're right. Fingers crossed.

Bizarrely, in the first lockdown people were queuing to get into shops but face masks weren't worn. Facemasks should make this lockdown more effective.

Pfizer’s chief executive sold shares worth millions on Monday, the same day the drug maker announced its coronavirus vaccine was more than 90pc effective.

Albert Bourla sold more than 130,000 shares on Monday as part of a scheduled plan to sell some of his stake in Pfizer, according to a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

The shares were sold at $41.94 each - close to the intra-day high of $41.99 - meaning he made about $5.6m (£4.2m) from the sale.
I wanna know who he thinks will win the Masters.

TT&T does nothing for me, literally ... my phone is too old! Why produce a TT&T app for the nation that only works for those who have (can afford) the most recent phones? I guess the designers have taken shares in the phone manufacturers!
