The vaccine rollout

Sadly, a right few don't believe it is all that bad a virus. Those numbers are growing.

It's a bad virus if you have underlying conditions or are elderly.

Outside of that the data says it is not a threat on your life.

That's not really true though. My wife is a nurse and works in the Nightingale when called upon. Although, as you say, the deaths are mostly those with underlying conditions, she has looked after many, many very sick 40-60 year olds who had none. Most survived. But only for the best medical provisions they were goners.

Johnson & Johnson vaccine 'highly effective' against severe Covid, 85% against severe Covid with one vaccination, a bit less in preventing mild symptoms.
There were no reported deaths in the vaccine group, but five in the placebo group.
It will likely be approved in the US this week and in the EU not long after.

Also French researchers have devised a test using camel antibodies that is nearly as accurate as lab tests and takes 10 minutes.
This kind of development would be very helpful also as anyone visiting a nursing home or the like could be tested or even going into Croke Pk.
