Banker Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Seems the Indian variant is not the killer PK & the Irish come over would have us believe!! From PHE via BBC Overall, just over 200 people so far have turned up to A&E with Covid that turned out to be the Indian variant. The really good news is that just over a quarter of those people had received the vaccine. And only five (or 2.5%) of them had received both jabs. Far more than a quarter of us have been vaccinated and far, far more than 2.5% of people have had both jabs. If the vaccine wasn’t working, you’d expect more than a quarter of people turning up to A&E with Covid to be people who were vaccinated. While there are ifs and buts with every number that we use to try to make sense of the variant, there’s a clear picture emerging from many different jigsaw pieces. Vaccines reduce the chances that people will get sick from either of the main types of coronavirus in the UK. The second jab reduces those chances even further. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's reassuring I am not sure that our beleaguered Government will take comfort and will use the so called 'india' variant as an excuse for the IOM to hide away for another year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the MSM coverage why is it you think folks don't know that your first jab gives 33% efficacy and your second jab 60% to 88% efficacy against the Indian variant...? Obviously not as effective as they were against the Kent variant. However the move to Level Two has been delayed as a quincequonce.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmpton Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 This time next week no one will even be talking about the "Indian variant" ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the THAI variant. Now available in the UK, so like a decent movie iom in about 3 months. PANIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She rang them and pitched a story in a way that would make for an interesting 5 minutes of radio and perhaps provoke debate. Seems about right. But it does illustrate both their laziness and their inferiority complex. Nothing she said wasn't readily available, but Manx Radio are only capable of reporting whatever is brought to them on a plate. And if it comes from a 'proper' journalist, so much the better.

Declan Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 That is rather the nature of radio news though. The story is due to the Indian Variant there are concerns about opening borders. Without someone to articulate those concerns it's fake news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a virus, it mutates, it’s only function is to survive. Just be grateful that, for the moment, you are able to go about your daily business. I expect the powers that be to get in the real world. life is risky but with this vaccine it seems to be working well against all variants. SARS in the early 00's has thousands of variants, we going to just keep people locked up unable to work and earn a living every time a new one comes along 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
