In January 2018 60,000 People in the UK Died and flu was estimated responsable for about 30,000 and there's a vaccine for Flu so im not sure what is hope to gain from all this have to be honest it just seems pointless trying to stop it if Vaccines has that kind of success rate and that's been available for years

Reading the article, it appears that the high number of deaths that month were due to a couple of unusually aggressive strains of flu virus that weren’t covered by the vaccine.

Picking one month out of human history and proclaiming vaccines to be pointless because of it is a bit disingenuous.

Its fact there is a lot of deaths from flu every single year despite a vaccine it is claimed no vaccine is more than 50% successful. so what are we expecting of Covid Vaccine a miracle.

who the buck is claiming no vaccine is more the 50% successful!?

polio, measles, etc

ok no Flu Vaccine i meant.

ok fair enough.

but flu is caused by a broad family of influenza viruses. the vaccines tend to be effective against particular strains but not all of them, no?

we don't really have that as an issue for covid-19 as it is caused by a single virus. we're not searching for a vaccine against all coronavirus, just the one. we don't care about protection against the four endemic human coronaviruses.

Donald Scottson has been poor since lockdown ended

SteveJJ single-handedly reporting on the snooker here

If I'm alone in this thinking then fine carry on as you were

yea but everything is linked with this thing everything is affected from hugging gran to picking up a snooker rest to sitting on chairs every thing is affected so to be true to the mad world we are in why should this chat be any different lol.

Highfield goes through against Mann

Lawler v Ajaib just started. Does snooker get any better?

Both players over 30 secs a shot. Barry won't be happy

The only way it would make a difference to the players is if you dock pay. So say you get £2,000 for a round 1 win, if you are over 30 secs a shot you lose a third of the pay.

I agree. Although i think its generally helped, there seems to be ĺess players finishing the season with ast of over 30 secs then when they first started publishing them.

barring snookers, O'Donnell looks through 4-1

Bingtao misses the 3rd last red with a 43 pt lead in the 6th frame. He's 3-2 up.

Bout of safety play ensues

Cracking long red for Yan. Follows it with a long brown. McManus needs two snookers

You'll be delighted to hear that he's won the next too

Fan in first against the defending champion but breaks down on 23.

Selby in with a long red

Selby breaks down, 17 pts ahead. Leaving Fan a chance. Fan pots the red but goes in off the green

very negatine from the blue there for Fan

I'm watching Ding v Si. This is great! Seems like ages since the snooker was on
Some rather poor shots from both players in the first frame.
Si 44-21 up and in.
