    Sky and a couple of others reports say Pfizer didn't produce the vaccine as in invent it, that it was the German co that did that

    Note of caution:

    Vaccines to be administered to the general population are usually required to run trials, tests and monitoring for adverse affects over a 5-10 year period

    It is an absolute logistical nightmare to administer en masse a vaccine which if approved must be stored and transported at -70 degrees throughout the entire supply chain from production to arm

    Approximately only 2000 freezers that can keep a substance at that temperature are produced each year, all of them for highly specialised research labs, the NHS and GP surgeries do not have the facilities to store and administer this vaccine even if approved

    Freezer trucks used to transport large volumes of frozen good achieve only approximately -18 degrees

    When the vaccine was announced to a fanfare of media celebration Boss Johnson was uncharacteristically cautious. Seems there's a long way to go yet.

    Funny how the media are suddenly concerned with Africa and how to deliver the vaccine to remote villages. Africa are doing fine in this pandemic thank you. Perhaps the vaccine company needs a testing ground.

    Quite true Stevie - Africa has coped remarkably well with Covid so far - has to also be mentioned that much of Africa has around the 3% mark for over 65's which would skew mortality rates massively.

    On Trent's injury and perhaps indicative of what I have been dreading for a while...

    "For those with a basic understanding of player health and fitness, this is an injury that isn’t surprising in the slightest as it is a prototypical overuse injury.

    Alexander-Arnold and his counterpart Andy Robertson have featured in every Premier League and Champions League this season thus far, after coming off a shortened break between the restart and the current season.

    Combine that with a condensed schedule and Alexander-Arnold’s extensive usage over the last two seasons, and this was simply a matter of time."

    BREAKING: Joe Gomez has suffered an injury in England training and it is believed it could be serious.

    That's all we need another CB down and not to mention he can cover at RB

    matip survived 1 game at least

    England boss Gareth Southgate will provide an update on the central defender's fitness in his press conference ahead of the Ireland game.

    We'll wait until then and see if it's true then

    "Breaking" is unfortunate, hope it's not that bad.

    This thread for our players getting Covid and/or injured fairly turned into the debate Covid thread didn't it

    Hope Gomez isn't too serious. Looks like Fabinho will be needed right away upon his return.

    Apparently, it's a leg or ankle break
