    You believe in this vaccine and trust it.

    I dont.

    Why does your opinion matter more than mine?

    Because their opinion is based on scientific evidence and yours isn't. If they said they believed grass is green because of chlorophyll and you said you believe it's green for a different reason, their opinion is more important (or at least should be given more weight - maybe importance is the wrong word) because it is backed by science.

  2. Anyone else watching to stave off the boredom? I’ve gone deep undercover as I had to sign up to Sunderland TV to watch. My name is ‘Billy Sunderland’, a lifelong fan of the rokers (is that their nickname?). Gas relegation party hopefully rolls on today!

    Thank you Rovers, I knew I  could rely on you.

    I was given my notice today after working through lockdown so needed cheering up.

    Sorry to hear that mate! My company did exactly the same to me. Hoping you find something even better ?

    As someone who for once is “in the know” there are potential antivirals that may mitigate the worst of the disease. One has been developed for Ebola and is only just undergoing human trials. It says it can be used for “compassionate release”, which means if we are desperate we can ask the drug company for some even though it hasn’t completed trials. However there is very little if any available and the evidence so far suggests using early in the disease rather than late when the person is rally sick. The second is a combination of 2 antiretroviral drugs (for HIV) but again there are issues with this.

    There are a couple of other drugs suggested, one of which is very commonly used as anti malarial but there is no evidence that they work.

    As for a vaccine, if anything appears for general availability before the end of the year, I would be amazed.

    I'll pick your brain since you seem to know your stuff if you don't mind, do you think we'll be able to get back to a 'normal' way of living (schools and work open, football back etc.) before a vaccine/meds become available? I hate to think of all this crap going on for months and months.
