£625

Would you volunteer for that money to trial the new vaccine ?

Re: £625

Actually I had a look at that but I'm too old as I'm over 55.

Otherwise I had toyed with the idea. Not for the money. Not because I'm bored or masochistic .. but.. because I think this is going to go on and on with no end in sight so I might as well get it now rather than duck and hide inside and get it as soon as lockdown is lifted .
Some are saying we could have as many as 6 waves of the damn thing lasting until next year.

The one thing that put me off was that they now seem unsure whether you are immune after having it once, so that dented my enthusiasm a bit.

I'd do it for zilch if asked. In fact if asked I'd refuse any payment and there's precious bloody little that I would do "for freemans".

£625 ... an interesting sum. I'm sure OFF members wouldn't want it even if they qualified. But there are some financially effed up people out there.

They are doing some testing even as we speak (or post) Morty... Extracting blood from someone who has recovered and identifying the antibodies to use on the most affected patients.

Some degree of immunity is bound to be obtained if the patient has survived. It's how the body beats the virus, and once the immune system has identified the virus as an invader it would most certainly destroy it before it got serious a second time.

I don't know about that Foxy, because people can have the flu but it doesn't make them immune to it next winter as well.
