What you say is correct apart from the asymptomatic infections bit. To know that you need to screen well people and show that (i) a proportion that can be accurately estimated (this means sufficient numbers of people) are people who, although well, have active virus in their body and that (ii) a...

I agree that it is wonderful in itself. Absolutely. No question. But I am also keen to know whether the vaccine works like any other vaccine (stopping me catching a disease - I've never had typhoid, TB, yellow fever etc. and never will), or not. And as I may have said, numbers of...

1. Experimental design? I can think of numerous reasons why 'seeing how many' will tell you nothing definitive. First I expect numbers will fall massively in the summer because it did last summer (it is a seasonal flu). That would bias the findings - you need a time matched control group if you...

I try so hard to be nice :whistle::wink::thumbsup:

Err....yes it will. ???

I'll get them in :thumbsup:
