WaitForMe Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 So, something I've never understood, why do we do this on forums - start a new topic when the previous gets "too big". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 [mention]WaitForMe[/mention] it's not something that strictly has to be done, it's more of a housekeeping exercise so that long-running topics don't have "stale starts" (from a new reader's perspective).

Ernegirl Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I wonder which of the vaccines the bulk of Australians will be getting.I'm musing over the different efficacy and side effects of the 3 vaccines already out of the starting block internationally, Pfizer, Moderna and the Oxford one.

Iamferalz Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I wonder which of the vaccines the bulk of Australians will be getting.I'm musing over the different efficacy and side effects of the 3 vaccines already out of the starting block internationally, Pfizer, Moderna and the Oxford one. I reckon the Oxford because apparently we do not have the local manufacturing capability for the Pfizer or Moderna. The Oxford seems to vary in efficacy from 70% to 90% depending on the dosing regimen. Not sure if they have replicated the 90% result either as that was apparently a much smaller trial.So this would suggest we will have some level of restrictions even after the vaccine while they perfect things, as it’s expected Covid will be endemic at least for some time. It will also be interesting to see how often we would need to have the vaccine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancti-claws Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Bit of a design flaw on the new forum - you can't quote a post when the thread is closed, but I thought the last post from [mention]TinCat[/mention] was very worth carrying forward:TinCat Sun Jan 10, 2021 2:12 pmWith all the stress in Australia regarding COVID, this was sobering to read in The AgeThere have been 750,000 fresh coronavirus cases worldwide over the past 24 hours, Professor Kelly says. In Australia, seven of eight jursidictions have recorded no new local cases today (NSW reported three).There were 1000 deaths in the UK on Saturday and 4000 in the US. I remember when it would take weeks - and then days - to get to those sorts of figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pfizer one costs something like $26 a shot vs the Oxford one which is something like $2 a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will also be interesting to see how often we would need to have the vaccine too. Does anyone know if the vaccinations have been tested for / provide effective protection against all strains? I'm concerned that we will all get vaccinated and then find we aren't immune to a new mutation / strain that pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
