Temporary ban on all flights into the country in December to give time to allow for an urgent risk assessment, I would've never spent £569 million on ventilators or £35 million on the NHS C19 app, rather spending billions on test & trace this money would be better spent on designing & building germ/virus free hospitals, increased hospital capacity & fast tracked critical care training for nurses, N95 masks available for all healthcare workers, "non essential" shops/services "allowed" to stay open, early randomised control trials across all environments to establish what preventive measures actually work and don't work (distancing, paper masks etc), targeted recommended stay at home orders for all vulnerable individuals that could be threatened by the affects of the virus, protect care homes by incentivsing carers to stay in the care home and not dumping sick patients into them, well advertised free delivery service (food, medical etc) available to all elderly and vulnerable, greater research into existing safe treatments to both prevent & cure, performance based targets on those making decisions i.e. doing X will result in a reduction of Y, if not achieved then they would be made to leave their post, production of safe inactivated vaccines to those that require it, advertising importance of good health i.e. exercise & diet, continued treating non C19 patients to prevent the 13 million NHS backlog.

He is one of the scientists!

Says the ignoramus who can’t even spell Poki correctly

Talk here (NZ) that Australian (NSW anyway) Kids may not return to their classrooms until January 2022. Cases on the rise and they are well behind the 8 ball (as we are) in terms of vaccinations, so I can see that they will lock down for a month or longer and then vaccinate as many people as possible before going down the UK herd strategy come December....not sure where that leaves us in New Zealand, but I doubt we will have open borders, vaccinated or not, for at least another year.
I think we have 5 years of people being sensible before we will have a chance of normality.....wearing masks, hygiene, distancing etc.....Kids will develop immunity first......this will continue to kill old people but like the flu jab it'll drop the numbers....

All the information I quoted I saw last week. I wasn't making "points" I was sharing information. For example the data for the Pfizer booster was published in the Lancet on the 29th July.


As a published author on Covid I think I qualify to have an opinion also.
