    No i am the one who expects the audience to understand basic stuff and am frequently disappointed. WTFH seems to have trouble understanding the concept of a multi team roll out to maximise our efficiency and seems to think the NHS can organise a social occasion in a brewery under fire. They obviously can't.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      Nothing to do with communism. When aiming for a health objective for an entire species this is simply logical.

      I have 2 daughters and 2 parents. Let's say (hypothetically) I am allocated 2 vaccines courses, due to limits on production. Do I choose to vaccinate my parents who are at the end of their life & no longer reproducing, or my children who are?

      Maybe I should vaccinate myself as I pay the most tax & avoid vaccinating dad so my inheritance comes quicker.

        Yep. It's all about balance of risk. T

        In many cases these are the same people that will quite happily buy and snort a few grams of "Coke" in the bogs of a nightclub whilst the worse for drink.

        You couldn't make it up.

        And sadly, we don't need to.

        What's wrong with me? I've agreed with both vetran and shaunbhoy in one post... I'm going for a lie down. With a nice warm bottle of whisky.

          Or do I choose to vaccinate my parents who are at risk or my children who are at a far far lower risk?

            Wise choice at the micro level, not so wise at the macro level. Your children are not at a lower risk of spreading the virus.

            You are thinking family, not species.

              Links please, as this is something I'm not aware of. Although I'm thinking of under 10s - not my sprogs some of whom have children.

                My pleasure.

                Most children who become infected with the COVID-19 virus have no symptoms, or they have milder symptoms such as low-grade fever, fatigue, and cough. Early studies suggested that children do not contribute much to the spread of coronavirus. But more recent studies raise concerns that children could be capable of spreading the infection.

                Though the recent studies varied in their methods, their findings were similar: infected children had as much, or more, coronavirus in their upper respiratory tracts as infected adults

                  That seems to be the population of the UK then
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
