It seems that we are winning the war against the virus a little too well... was reading this and you can Google for more detailed reports.
But the general thing is that they don't think that there are enough people infected to test the vaccine now.

In other news it seems that 1 in 6 Londoners have had the virus and 1 in 20 6% and 17% respectively for percentage rates... and the antibody tests are being rolled out next week.
All good news... |

I think there will be sufficient numbers in Brazil and some other countries for effective testing |

Good news indeed !! Won £20 on the lottery too - Got Deposit back for Holiday - and sewed a whole new pair of jeans . . . great day all round here.
Well that will be until someone says the Government or Boris cheated the British people out of a fully charged virus. Or doomsay it to a just you wait for it to come again twice as badly.

"yes read something similar
the virus appears to be dying off too quickly for the vaccine to be tested 100%"
The ones who have volunteered for trials are in two groups. One group had vaccine, other group a placebo. They need to compare infection rates in each group over next few months. If there is not enough virus circulating then not enough will get it to do a comparison. Obviously not allowed to deliberately expose volunteers to the virus.
Thats why they have tried to get more medical/front line staff to join volunteers.... |

They are looking for 10,000 volunteers for the next phase of testing in the uk |

There will be someone along sooner or later to spread some negativity.
