An Australian university has started animal based COVID-19 vaccine trials in the Netherlands and reckon if everything goes well their vaccine could be ready for human use in 3 months.

I see the people of Manchester have really taken social distancing to new levels.

If cities are being hit harder than rural areas (which you would entirely expect) then of course minorities are being hit harder. It could have nothing to do with physiology - just demographic differences between cities and small towns. If that's directed at me I wasn't sugesting anything to do wit...

Was the IHME report already done? Predicting 60k+ deaths in the UK. 3 times their projection for Italy.

Her comments were entirely consistent with her posting history. She’s always demonstrated a despicable contempt for anyone whose views she disagrees with, and made clear that she wasn’t a supporter of Corbyn’s pretend ‘kinder, gentler politics’, so I can’t see why she has been banned now.

The thing about the BCG is that they already know how the human body reacts, so they can go straight to "live" testing. I hear you. Thing that I'm curious about is the requirement for trials that are specific to Covid-19. Hydroxychloroquine has been around for nearly seventy years and its use has b...

There is a bit of me that thinks Mr Johnson's devil may care "I shook hands with everybody" during a pandemic while being 55 and a fatty was perhaps not the brightest thing to do.

India's total confirmed infections have risen 22% in the last 24 hours :( That's pretty much expected growth rate before measures are taken, if anything, slightly on the lower side of what it can be.

A close family friend of ours is an ICU doctor in Michigan. They ran out of PPE last week and have someone scrounging around the city for masks. He wears his woodworking mask from home.

On a more serious note, what’s the explanation of Germany’s lower fatality numbers than the UKs? Get the ‘detected’ infection difference but the death numbers interest me.

I’d put Modi in the bad camp rather than neutral. The impact could be horrendous in India. Bolsonaro deserves a category on his own.
