One-quarter of Canadians oppose a COVID-19 vaccine or remain unsure about whether they would accept it for themselves, and ‘warp speed’ doesn’t inspire confidence

“It’s been going on since February, so you need to sleep sometime, right? At least, I can’t just go on and on and on. We work sometimes 15, 16 hours a day. I’m not going to lie and say that’s every day, because that’s just not sustainable, at least not for me, anyway. Most of the people are working six, seven days a week. And it’s tiring; I’m not gonna lie about that either. It wears on you after a while, because it’s not just been, like, six weeks of working hard now.

They’ve now moved into hamsters. The plan is to move into “first-in-human” studies in the fall, with a human-grade vaccine. But as research teams around the world work at breakneck speed to deliver one, how accepting will we be? It depends on how much we trust political leaders and scientific bodies, said Goldenberg. “We’ll trust a vaccine to the extent that we trust the system that brought us the vaccine.”

“We better make sure that before we inoculate millions of people, tens of millions, many of whom are going to be healthy, young people who are unlikely to die from this virus that we make sure we hold it to the highest standard of safety and efficacy before we put it out there.”

One finally dealt with. Now how about the 'supposed' changes to the CEBA loan? Will that ever come into effect or is it just more empty promises?

We need to get workers back to work... Also: **whisper voice** toss in a couple ships!!

SylviaStead If he tells the truth about all his contacts, one could find out for him? No? It really doesn't matter where he got covid19 the rules in NB are very clear. Leave the province and upon your return you quarantine 14 days. Not return to work and pass it along...although, I am quite curious to how his wife got on a plane in Canada to go to Africa...
