Good News Thread Number 4. Because that positivity just keeps on coming!

[FuzzyPuffling]

Here it is....number four thread of science and positivity!

I wonder if the Queen and Prince Philip have had theirs now the Oxford vaccine is rolling out.

@Gratefulrunner

I’m naturally a guardian reader but it’s so negative ... I buy the Times at the weekend sometimes for a bit of a different take on things

I get my news from this thread

My granny had her second Pfizer dose yesterday

@whataballbag

My granny had her second Pfizer dose yesterday

So did my MIL Dh sadly forgot to ask her if she got a badge.

Just watching Prof John Bell being optimistic on bbc1.

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel - I just came on to say the same! He’s very reassuring! I love the way he came back when the interviewer tried to mention how New Zealand has handled things - ‘don’t play that game’!

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel

He has made me feel more optimistic than I have for a while.

Lionel Blair was funny and very positive - he kept yelling "STICK TO THE RULES PEOPLE"

Also watching Prof John Bell - isn't he a belter? Can he do some press briefings please?

He should be prescribed for corona related anxiety. 10 minutes a day would do wonders. It would probably treat gloom spreading muppetry quite well too.

A web chat with Bell would do wonders for the mental health of Mumsnetters.

Can we borrow him for this thread?

Boris is enjoying himself

Are people getting two Pfizer shots now. I think my dad has only had one:(

Think it depends on your primary care provider. Some are doing it, some aren't, some are doing those who already have appointments...a whole range of responses.

15th Feb seems so close in the grand scheme of things 👏👏👏 feeling hopeful today 🤞

Ooh the army!!

I missed a bit what is the Feb 15th date?

Sounds like my kind of guy I like Sir John Bell anyway, but if he shut down NZ chat I’m hunting it down

@MarshaBradyo

When they hope to have the 4 top categories vaccinated by (with their 1st jab). The 4 top categories which account for 88% of deaths if I understood him correctly too!

Argh I keep missing the bloody press conferences! Flaming children needing to be supervised

Has anyone posted on the two new (I think) anti inflammatory treatments that have been shown to reduce death s and speed recovery ?

At the start if I recall correctly, it was 50 50 you would die if hospitalised

Recently, about 36% chance of death if admitted to intensive care, and many are hospitalised without needing intensive care

Now with these 2new treatments it's 25% so that's a huge improvement

Brilliant Secret thanks

Same here Chinese that’s the issue with lots of briefings! Have bundled them off now

I've gone off the Army guy (not that he was ever my bag anyway) after he said the CEVs are in care homes??? WHAT! Would you like to tell that to my DH who is sitting next to me and definitely not in a care home. Stop perpetuating these crazy notions.

Big Sir John Bell fan here too, what a man
