Game changer it's great news, but far from knowing how effective it is yet. but it is still too soon to know if this is enough to offer protection and larger trials are under way.
as fh says, fingers crossed

But it does sound positive. There's one in China as well which is apparently further down the road. Remember, there's 23 in clinical trial stage already, and another 140 at earlier stages. Fingers crossed that 2 or 3 come good as soon as possible. Doesn't sound like much hope of anything ready at scale before the autumn/winter flu wave though.

China has the added advantage of forcing people to take part in the trial, allegedly.

Why do people, specifically in the UK (USA is a little different due to the Constitution creating lots of grey areas), keep on whittling on about Freedoms and Rights when talking about their opposition to wearing a bit of cloth over their mouth?
It seems people have gotten a little lost of over the years because the UK is not a "free" society and there are no such right in existence. There is a Human Rights Act, but that makes it very clear that laws can exist to restrict your "freedom" and it merely protects against pretty obvious nasties such as Slavery.
Nobody seems to be up in arms about the fact they are forced to put on underwear before they leave the house every day, yet being exposed to someone's bollocks is far less offensive than being exposed to their ability to pass on a virus, no?
So maybe they can take a trade and get more freedom as a result - wear a fucking mask and walk around fully naked on the rest of your body. Sorted.

Thing is many of those wittering on about masks are the same who feel Humans Rights Acts are all a libtard plot.

The "outbreak" at Royal Mail and Honda was only one reported case each, with little information about whether they were caught on-site or an off site test and confirmation so need to be careful not over react, however, that's not saying that we should not be taking it seriously and remain very cautious..

What do you mean not testing, at all or testing staff every week or so?

He's talking bollocks. Tests are available to all staff. I've had my antibody test, I never bothered with the live test as I've not shown any symptoms.

There seems to be a lot in the press today as to whether certain stores will or will not stop people entering without a face mask. The question should not be whether they will or won't - rather (unless you are in the exemption groups) why on earth would you try to go without a mask when you know it is a requirement? I know it might not look 'normal' or 'cool' but even if there is a slight chance masks may stop the spread, then people should want to do what they can and not see it as a imposition
