[News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

[Knocky's Nose]

.... where Covid is something I might catch, like flu, but less likely as I'm fully vaxed...

As I understand you're just as likely to catch it as anyone else, but if you do the symptoms will be lessened and you stand a much smaller chance of being hospitalised or dying.

Correct me if I'm wrong, obviously!

I don't know - some anecdotal evidence further back in this thread suggests a degree of resistance to infection too. I guess we won't know all the answers for a long time - but if it stops me needing to be put into an induced coma on a ventilator, or actually dying, I'm in!

A new CDC study finds the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) reduce the risk of infection by 91 percent for fully vaccinated people. This adds to the growing body of real-world evidence of their effectiveness.

One shot of the Oxford/AstraZeneca or Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine reduces coronavirus infections by nearly two-thirds and protects older and more vulnerable people as much as younger, healthy individuals, a study has found.

Unfortunately this thread has become harder and harder for the "really concerned about covid and understand why restrictions are in place" to look through. Shame as was great at first.Think personally will bow out myself and leave them to it.

EDIT - Not saying this is relevant to everyone, there is still some genuinely great stuff being posted, just with too many arguments inbetween.

How about those concerned about Covid but don't understand why the country is being crippled with the restrictions?

They get shot down on here at every opportunity

Genuinely sorry to hear this.

This thread should be purely for positive, uplifting news (backed where possible by evidence) about the crap situation we’re all in.

It should be for everyone regardless of whether they feel we’re going too fast, or not fast enough.

Hear hear. There's a whole sub-forum for all that.

(i) Incorrect, unless by 'catch it ' you mean all the way down to having it in you, with no symptoms and no viable virus in you to pass on

(ii) Correct

The age old question. Does this mean on average each vaccinated person gets Covid but it is only 9% as nasty/spreadable as the unvaccinated version, or does it mean only 9% of vaccinated people will get COVID. The two are very different, and my current perception is the former, not the latter is correct.

That post is grotesque

Perhaps you should have highlighted the whole sentence then ? I stand by my comments, many people have forgotten about the victims of lockdown, and only care about the victims of covid.
Suicide and mental health is not something to be brushed aside, quite frankly that is grotesque.

Never would, never did.

It isn't mental health or protect from covid, one or the other. You live in a very restrictive black and white world.

Will do. Apologies.
