HQ is looking pretty empty, there might just be something in this.

Forgive me for I am about to become the thing I have created....

In an update from Sky News:

 

Clinical trials of a coronavirus vaccine will begin on people from Thursday, Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said.

The COVID-19 vaccine is being developed by scientists at the University of Oxford, who have said it has an 80% chance of success.

Mr Hancock told the government's daily briefing that the Oxford trial and another at Imperial College London would each get at least another £20m of public money.

The Jenner Institute team at Oxford is starting production before the trial is complete and wants about a million doses ready to be sent out by September.

Mr Hancock said developing a vaccine is an "uncertain science" but that the two teams were making "rapid progress" and would be backed "to the hilt".

He said: "At the same time we'll invest in manufacturing capability so if either of these vaccines safely works then we can make it available for the British people as soon as humanely possible."

However, he cautioned that "nothing about this process is certain".

The Oxford vaccine, called ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, is made from a harmless chimpanzee virus that has been genetically engineered to carry part of the coronavirus.

The technique has already been shown to generate strong immune responses in other diseases.

Deals have already been done with three UK manufacturers, and several more abroad, to make the vaccine.

Professor Sarah Gilbert, from the Jenner Institute team, told Sky News that she hoped "up to 500 people" would be part of the trial by the middle of May.

She said it would be a "randomised control trial" and half of the people would get a different vaccine.

Now, my issue is this of course they are going to be looking for a vaccine that makes sense. However it feels like to origin and nature of this virus is not yet fully understood and I'm not exactly queuing up to be an early adopter of something that will be rushed out with a handful of results. With recent studies saying that if you've had Corona once it does not mean you are immune this also seems odd that a vaccine that works by introducing the virus to the host that it would not achieve its goal anyway.

I am clearly a layman in this field and my text is rife with speculation in lieu of experience and research time. I would love to hear some other weigh in on the topic, my mind is always open to change with good information.

Someone needs to develop a vaccine for your text formatting.

I had a theory on why toilet paper was panic bought in the first place but it was missing and ignition, a cause for the initial depletion. Tom Green the son of a gun has found the missing piece.



In short idiots panic bought the first thing the internet told them to.

Talk to me about this Gulag, I've heard the name banded around, how does it differ from other FPS environments?

[FantasticMR]

Ah I see, I'm not a history, specifically war buff so a gaming page is all I have to go on. You seem quite interested in war based on your movie choices.
