If they do that they’ll have to segregate jails according to covid status. Mad, like most of this, a car crash.

Indeed. The guy shedding vaccine-derived polio virus for the last 28 years is a goodie. Reading around that is really interesting...

The article specifically mentioned them excreting it. Maybe it's me but I couldn't help wondering as I read the article whether his poo had to be quarantined for 28 years? :D

More sobering was the suggestion that the vaccine alone isn't the way out, keeping infections low to minimise the chances of mutations is.

More like the way your mind works!

Excretion can be sweat, pee or anything else the body gets rid of...

Yep, that’s what the crowd who are suggesting its ok to let it spread once the vulnerable are vaccinated are ignoring.

Though strictly speaking the vaccine alone is the way out, its just that its important that everyone world wide needs to be vaccinated where possible.

We have been so lucky, if this happened just 10 years ago it would have been a different matter.

Indeed, and the mind boggles at the concept of a ‘chronic excretor’ :shock:

I’d have thought you’d be in trouble if you weren’t a chronic excretor, frankly!
The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

Well now .. Wales seem to be running slightly ahead of the England on the vaccine groups. I had my text message this morning, 55 and over can book, you have to be 56 in England.
All set up for Monday afternoon now. One big useful step towards normality.

Are you sure? They’re doing early fifties in my area and some surgery groups have started on the 40’s. Although strictly controlled by the NHS, Doctors Surgery Syndicates have been told they can advance to younger groups provided they have exhausted inoculating the older people on their registers.
