PS as a vaccine is found it will also have to be updated. A virus also builds up an immune system to various drugs or anti-bodies , Penicillin once thecure all for various ailments lost most of its of its affectiveness against VD, then went to Streptomycin, now.more powerful drugs probably , returning American troops from Vietnam brought back a strain of disease called Vietnam Rose which penicillin was immune against. Was bad public knowledge so not much said about it. The present Covid 19 , the truth will come out in years to come, will be of little interest then. Cheers JS
Just been reading an English medical scientist who said that he believes that the vaccines now circulating will be ineffective against the new strain of the virus. If as some theorists maintain that this is man made; we are in strife, as all whomever is making it has to do is alter something every time they get an antidote.

#78.. Think that is in the back of most people’s minds Des. However is best to let the authority’s take what action they think necessary and just hope they are not a bunch of dilly dancing no hopers like some of the pollies we have. Who knows may finish up carrying gas masks like we had to do during the war .cheers JS
Saying that Des have just picked up the mail and one letter is from the P.M. thinking it was a delayed Xmas card was getting ready to tell him off and to be more on time , on opening is a congratulations card for next months wedding anniversary which is nearly a months time so is still sloppy as regards timing. Shall I tell him you send your regards !!!!!!!??????**** ***!! !! NO ? O.K. JS
Congratulations to Pfizer on the new Covid -19 vaccine !
The same company that makes Viagra.
I have complete faith in the new vaccine .
If a company can raise the dead, they can certainly cure the living.

My son who is a Doctor Consultant working on the covid wards in Hospital in Portsmouth has had his Vaccine of Pfizer,
It is 91% effective and when you have two of them it is only 95% effective.
So they will probably only be giving one Jab instead of two.
Not had mine yet, and I am nearly 86.
Why not combine the two, I will be up for it!Quote:

My wife and I recently celebrated our diamond wedding anniversary on December 10th. Received a nice letter from Her Majesty. 2 days later, a knock at my door and there stood a smartly dressed young man and presented me with a heavy parcel. I'd been getting stuff from Amazon most days but this wasn't from them. After unwrapping we found a wooden box containing vintage port and a ceramic pot of Stilton all stamped with the Royal Warrant and sent from Fortnum and Mason the Queens grocer. Very generous I thought until my daughter rang later to ask had we received our anniversary present.Quote:
