What do you think life will be like if there's no vaccine or cure...

Just that really?

Will our lives be lived forever having to social distance? Always having to wear masks.
Will that just be our new normal?

I know my post is a bit gloomy, and I am trying to hold onto hope that there will eventually be a vaccine.

But seriously, what if there never is?

I was so looking forward to taking my DD to a family festival next year.
Holidays, swimming.

I hope one day we can do this but it makes me sad to think of al the things she could miss out on. 😕

AstraZeneca are making doses of the Oxford vaccine at risk. They are aiming to make 400 million by the end of this year.

Vaccine will be rolled out in phases if it is available.

Start with nhs staff and those with high risk illnesses.

Then will go to all those over a certain age and those with asthma.

It will then be offered to the rest of the population

I'd imagine it will be very much like the flu vaccine schedule.

Possible given to kids within school as well so they don't go on to spread to more vulnerable relatives

Even if it is, how will the whole population get one? Even in the UK imagine vaccinations for 65 million people.

A vaccination schedule is not that hard to organise. they manage to vaccinate every vulnerable person in my village across just two flu jab clinics. If they ran covid jab clinics all day, every day for a week they could easily vaccinate the whole village. It only takes about 20 seconds to administer a vaccine.
