A year ago we were all desperate for vaccines, probably not the demand going forward hopefully other than a joint annual one with the flu jab.
The Moderna share price high was during last autumn so try 6 month's ago. The stunning drop (70%) since coincide's with the revelation by the Life Insurance industry that the annual death rate was up 40% in the All mortality class.
Those self same Insurance companies enjoyed massive profit's in 2019, then saw them halved during the pandemic of 2020, and then made a humongous loss in 2021 :rolleyes: .....................and no it wasn't all down to Covid.

The world's a big place you know, not just us here in west wanting vaccine's, everyone wanted them, all year, so your argument doesn't hold. Moderna's share price plummeted because the Life Assurance people blew the whistle that they weren't as safe as we had been led to believe. And that industry were probably very large shareholder's of vaccine manufacturer's as well, and presumably dumped the stocks to cover they're mounting losses.

Google “criminal case number: 6029679/21”.

I have a family member who suffered what appeared to be a TIA on Xmas eve, know of 2 others locally with similar episodes, all within 2-3 weeks of booster. I am not a tinfoil hat type of person, but I am very uneasy with the rollout to children now.

I can't help noticing how the Moderna share price has dropped like a stone since its $484 peak last autumn and went down to $132 early last week, and yet the company itself is still making huge profit's from it's covid 19 vaccine :scratchhead:
Pfizer has also dropped but not so spectacularly. This make's no sense at all as profit's drive value's up not down! However the word on the street is that large investor's in the know;) are getting out quick.

Share prices discount assumptions on the future - future returns, not present. Has always been the way.

Sorry I`ve not posted local stats as they are incredibly dull and there have been some changes to data gathering/reporting methodology.
These are Leicester "scores" within the City only.
22k tests in the last 7 days.
650 positive cases in the last 7 days.
89 positive patients admitted in the last 7 days.
3 deaths (within 28 days of a positive test) in the last 7 days.

I can get County as well but they are remarkably similar.

Are we still supposed to take a test after a positive home test?

Do you think covid is less of a threat now ?

Currently yes, weaker variant + (dare I say) herd immunity. Still not good if you are elderly or clinically vulnerable.

The difficulty may arise with future variants although that can go either way. Current vaccine/natural immunity means a future "bad" variant would need to make a big, or several, changes to create another global pandemic.

Also, an amazing reduction in flu and other respiratory bugs as we learned to practice good hygiene, wear masks and avoid strangers. :)

For me I haven't caught covid yet, longer term I will eventually catch the virus
I have adapted my life to covid really when I'm at work or seeing friends.

My wife and I have had it this last week. Avoided it until now. I’ve been ok, but she’s been quite poorly and continues to have a terrible cough. Hearing of lots of cases locally
I had it last week but very mild symptoms. Just LF testing, didn't get an official test so the numbers are probably lower than cases if others are the same.
