Queensland to allow quarantine-free travel from New Zealand from December 12

Speaking of Qld,

I see the UQ Covid Vaccine has been binned after it resulted in some false-positive HIV results caused by its protein "clamp" being detected by testing

While the vaccine is on ice, apparently the technology is a new pioneer, and can be used for other things once improved

One painkiller is good, taking two is better. They are actually trying that with the Oxford and Sputnik vaccines. Assuming at least one works...

The Washington Post - FDA authorizes the first coronavirus vaccine, a rare moment of hope in the deadly pandemic

breaking

The Food and Drug Administration on Friday gave emergency use authorization to the nation’s first coronavirus vaccine, launching what scientists hope will be a critical counteroffensive against a pathogen that has killed more than 290,000 Americans, shredded the nation’s social and political fabric and devastated the economy.

The historic authorization of the vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech for people age 16 and older, just 336 days after the genetic blueprint of a novel coronavirus was shared online by Chinese scientists, sets in motion a highly choreographed and complex distribution process aimed at speeding vaccines throughout the United States to curb the pandemic. ...

You mean like in that story. Or this one? Don't let world news or your allies have the limelight now..

"Today, our nation achieved a medical miracle," Trump said. "We have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just nine months. This is one of the greatest scientific accomplishments in history."

News Break suggests he threatened to fire some of those on the board...

"How the novel coronavirus has evolved"

Reuters analysed over 185,000 genome samples from the Global Initiative on Sharing All influenza Data (GISAID), the largest database of novel coronavirus genome sequences in the world, to show how the global dominance of major strains has shifted over time.

The analysis shows there are currently seven main strains of the virus. The original strain, detected in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019, is the L strain. The virus then mutated into the S strain at the beginning of 2020. That was followed by V and G strains. Strain G mutated yet further into strains GR, GH and GV. Several other infrequent mutations were collectively grouped together as strain O.

Only scanned through the charts so far but looks an interesting article. Thanks.

And people still crying under each one on the official social page that they are fear mongering and apparently controlling us with falsehoods

Meanwhile anywhere else not NZ....
