Americans just laugh at anything they aren't familiar with. I don't really care one way or the other with the milk to be honest, but I do like that I can fit more in my fridge when I buy it this way.

Great after dinner speaker. Not so great when he’s burning £50 notes in front of homeless people to impress his Bullingdon mates.
Even less great when encouraging herd immunity and asking the country to ‘take it on the chin’ (i,e, let thousands of people die unnecessarily) until belatedly caving in to widespread advice from the scientific community.
But as long as he raises a laugh talking about ‘bongo bongo land’ and Muslim women looking like letterboxes I guess that’s all fine, wot wot.

So I wasn’t sure whether to make a thread on this but how would anti-vaxxers react if there was a vaccine released tomorrow for Covid?
Would they go against their beliefs and have the vaccine, now that they’ve witnessed a pandemic in real time or would they still sprout the same shit they have for years
whilst putting themselves and their families risk.
Glad Boris is getting better we need our captain at the helm, just hope he rests up before taking up his PM duties again.

Not an anti vaxxer, I would take it but also be a little nervous being on the frontline of a new one. Hopefully 18 months of testing is enough to know to some degree.So I wasn’t sure whether to make a thread on this but how would anti-vaxxers react if there was a vaccine released tomorrow for Covid?

Some anecdotal news my mum is a retired nurse and a number of her friends still are and are all sadly in hospital after contracting Covid.
As would I.
I guess you have to weigh up the pro/cons of the vaccine or getting Covid and potentially ending up on a ventilator with a 80/20 chance of living where the odds are stacked against you.

I don't think I'll get a vaccine if one comes out. Unless the US government is lying currently this doesn't seem to kill many people. Seems like it would be riskier to get the vaccine.

Very hard to say. Here in the UK there’s been talk of the lockdown lasting at least another couple of months.
The problem is that even if 99% of the country are healthy, a return to normality would still see that 1% with the virus rapidly infect others, and we’re soon back to square one.
Until a vaccine is available I really only see three options:
1) Perpetual lockdown.
2) Business as usual. If they die they die.
3) Staggered returns to normality broken up by periods of lockdown.
*edit* - a huge game changer would be testing that shows who has already had it. Those people would be able to work as normal. Over time society would be rebuilt.

Significant numbers of patients in the UMCG’s Intensive Care department are overweight
It was recently announced that nine out of ten corona patients in intensive care are overweight. As reported in today’s Dagblad van het Noorden, the UMCG has discovered that adipose tissue plays an important role in the development of the Coronavirus in parients. The findings were also shared on Tuesday evening by Peter van der Voorst, Head of the Intensive Care unit, on the TV programme Jinek.
According to Van der Voort ninety percent of the seriously ill patients have a BMI of over 25. This is likely because the Coronavirus is constructed in such a way that, once in the lungs, it sticks more easily to adipose tissues.
According to the researchers, people with less fat are very unlikely to get so sick that they have be supported by a ventilator in intensive care, but obese people with a BMI score above 25 happen have a bigger chance. “It is the combination of a lot of adipose tissue and Covid-19 that causes direct lung damage,” says Van der Voort.

Yes let's blame everything other than people having self control and the necessary motivation to exercise regularly.
If you had said nutrition and general fitness/wellness education rather than all of those things then I'd be inclined to agree with you because that's sorely lacking. However all of those things are just excuses.

Why don't you stop spreading this fake news. Boris never recommended "taking it on the chin". I'm sure this will be wasted on you, but at least other people won't fall for your bullshit:

Here is the transcript of what Boris Johnson said on This Morning about the new coronavirus - Full Fact
Claims the Prime Minister said the country should take the new coronavirus “on the chin” and allow it to spread through the population have been taken out of context.
fullfact.org
By the way, "herd immunity" isn't just something the UK has mentioned, it seems that pretty much every western country has it as part of it's long-term plan for combating the virus (or rather they view it as inevitable after China's failure to stamp out the virus in Wuhan). Sweden is the most gung-ho with this approach at the moment:
Sweden’s government has tried a risky coronavirus strategy. It could backfire.
Critics say the government seeks "herd immunity" from the coronavirus. That could lead to more deaths.
