Good news!
Of course we know our wonderful Scientists at Oxford and Imperial College have been working on finding a vaccine and are now carrying out trials.
It’s still fingers crossed that the vaccine will work but.....
The Government has made a deal with AstraZenica, they are going into mass production and will have 30 million vaccines ready by September in the hope that the vaccine works.
I think we all realise a vaccine is the only real way out of this pandemic and our Government have already ploughed more than a quarter of a Billion into the search for the vaccine.
Wonderful news and I hope it will give some hope and lift everyone’s spirits, as it has mine. ?

Obviously the citizens of the UK would get ‘first dibs’ but it certainly would help repay some of the debt if it was sold to the rest of the world.
I’m crossing my fingers.

FarNorth I know for a fact that the first vaccines to be available are going to NHS Workers, next Care Workers and then 'the most vulnerable ', who of course will be able to choose whether or not to have the vaccine.
I, for one, will be on the front row!
This virus is not going to disappear so easily, if ever and I don't want to spend the rest of my life, cooped up inside or constantly fearful when I do go out of contracting the virus.
