Stable at 36-46 degrees, apparently. Very early, though.

It happens to be one of the many that the UK hasn't bought. (The EU scheme (which we chose not to participate in) has.)

Fingers crossed for the Oxford vaccine (Astra Zeneca) which we have bought!
Also the Janssen one which starts clinical trials in the U.K. today. (though if our rates are falling, presumably it could run into the same problem as the Oxford vaccine, in that the volunteers weren’t being exposed enough of the virus, hence they moved trials to the US and Brazil and it’s all taking longer than planned)

My impression is that vaccine people suspect they'll all be good. The first 90% suggests that vaccines will work well on this virus, and they're all showing production of antibodies and things, so there's a good chance they'll all work about as well as each other.

That's the impression I get, also.

Pretty amazing if it does work out that way.

(Trump will be taking credit for it for the next four years - I can just see it now!)

He is also trying to take credit for the Pfizer one, when they have categorical denied it.

Spoilt for choice soon, who will get magic 100% number.
