    Some reasons to be optimistic #Thursday: 1. Increasing # of treatments (incl. cheap steroids) for severe COVID-19 -> patients less likely to die. 2. Increase # of rapid tests (incl. saliva) -> more testing makes transmission easier to stop. 3. # of vaccine candidates in Phase 3.

        4. Public health teams getting better at minimal restrictions needed to get 'normality' resuming -> parks, beaches, public transport/shops (w/face coverings), outdoor hospitality look fine. More risky are indoor house parties & pubs/bars. 5. Schools re-opening around the globe.

        Rapid tests needed for schools. Many Primary schools conducting temp checks - surely next to useless for mainly asymptomatic spread. Need quick non-intrusive testing for staff and pupils. Particularly to give confidence kids won't spread to each other then vulnerable family.

        Thanks Devi - nice to see some positive views on COVID after all the recent fears on outbreaks etc. It also appears that those of us who use statins to control cholesterol may be at lower risk of fatality https://www.pharmaceutical-journal.com/news-and-analysis/research-briefing/statins-linked-to-lower-risk-of-death-from-covid-19-study-suggests/20208138.article?firstPass=false …

        I believe vaccine testing has been underway in South Africa. I also see that case and death numbers there have generally gone down recently. Is there any correlation to be drawn here? I can't find any recent information on these trials anywhere online.
