A trial involving a drug called Remdesivir has showed promise.

Love that you’re so up on Facts x

Don’t know if you’ve read or heard :

Countries where the population had been vaccinated against Tuberculosis

with BCG Vaccine , appear to have a lower death rate .

Now scientists are exploring the possibility of using BCG Vaccine as the base

/ or starting point for developing A vaccine .

Fruitful or not , remains to be seen .

In ROI - were you guys vaccinated against Tuberculosis ?


- I’d say also remains to be seen if BCG is a correlation , causation , or coincidence .. x

Yes. Irish children were injected in the upper arm and it leaves lifelong scar tissue of 3 tiny dots. I have it on my arm and I'd be happy to show it to you some day. The UK also had a mandatory policy of vaccination against TB but not Spain or Italy. I'm not a medical expert but I think the BCG connection is significant.

I remember this and the MMR vaccine, I was given a sugar cube to bite on as we got the injection

The sugar cube was polio vaccine.

Nobody in my family developed that scar. I received all my childhood shots, had my antibodies checked when I worked in hospital services and all boosters brought up to date. Still no scar.

I looked this up and yep, on a sugar cube, I had no idea, I remember the day we got the vaccine like it was yesterday, that's mad.

I was thinking the sugar cube was polio.
I don't think I got the TB shot til I was in secondary school and like yourself didn't get a mark.

Dont forget to shine a light tonight at 9.00 in remberance of all that have lost their lives because of covid 19 and for the frontline workers. Its just a mark of respect for them all.

Only reading this now but my solar lights are already on outside.

In the North and across the shuck in GB they have been clapping their hands at 8pm the last few Thursday nights in appreciation of the NHS staff.

Whilst this might be a nice gesture to show our appreciation it would be better if the politicians were doing more to help frontline staff re ppe and conditions.

I wonder will the politicians remember the sacrifices these eorkers have made when discussing pay rises in the future ? I doubt it.

Respect to all having to work through this turbulent and dangerous times.

We rank 21st in terms of the number of infections. About 300 ahead of India.

Turkey they are now saying is going to have it rough.
