Keep it. If they can’t find a reliable vaccine for the common cold which is a coronavirus in tens of years, they ain’t sticking something in me that’s been produced in months!

Makes more sense, along with money, not to have a cure for the common cold available. Just think of all those "cold cures" that would disappear from the shelves if they allowed a cure.Keep it.

Edited to say, maybe they have!

The little one is a gear lever, Paul... Try the bigger one in front of it!I have to discover why the rear wheel on my bike continues to go round when I pull the lever!!
I woke up early (09:45) because I forgot to turn the timer off on the CH after my cold-suffering bubble pal went home yesterday. It gets too warm in here if I am still in bed.
Considering that at 05:15 I was still awake, I don't feel rested. In fact (as usual), I feel more tired now than I do before going to bed! That's what comes of messing about with screenfuls of geometric shapes until 02:30 and then putting the TV on...

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
These lockdown rules make no sense whatsoever. I can't have anyone in my home or in my garden, but I can meet up with 4 people, from 4 different houses indoors or outdoors .
Gyms are open, as are most other places. I can go on holiday anywhere in Wales, but I can't have anyone in my home or garden. What a load of b******s.

Now, I am as cynical as anyone about all of this, but I'm not worried about the short time-scale. There was a scientist on TV recently explaining this. Apparently, the development and testing phases have taken exactly as long as they would usually do, and have not been compromised. The length of time a vaccine takes to be ready is mainly composed of waiting for funding decisions, bureaucratic delays while committees are got together, and so on. Once you fast-track all the peripheral stuff, getting a vaccine to market is indeed a relatively quick process. That made a lot of sense to me, and I can accept it.
There's probably a lesson for the future here as well.

As I read on Twitter yesterday: "I can sleep with the same woman for 37 years, but I can't share a restaurant table with her."

Apparently the base for all the vaccines has been ready to go since the Ebola outbreak. They wanted to be ready for the off just for this scenario.
I wouldn't have a problem with dropping my bloomers to have the jab.

Thrice have I done so.
No wonder people scratch their heads and say "sod it" I will do my own thing.
In that case I feel I speak for the majority and join BoldonLad in saying "you are indeed forgiven my child".
