Have we heard if we are any closer to a injection to protect us from the virus in the future

    Not really, hence such long term plans for living 'with' the virus being made by the government now.

    Trouble is, it takes time to test all of these things.  It's pointless getting everyone vaccinated if the immunity only lasts 3 months for example.   So they need to keep doing tests & trials over many months.

    Hi @Jonesy1 Welcome to the community. As above comment I cant imagine a vaccine will be anytime soon due to the amount of testing it will require . I think we all need to be prepared that the measures in place will be the new normal for a long time yet

    My personal view is that a vaccine for covid 19 won't be available until next year and then the priority will be key workers of which there are probably 2 million, before the rest of us can have it.
    Be extra nice to new members.

    I'm terrified! I am unsure as to whether I can go out. I've been a virtual recluse these last 3 years.  I don't know if I ever want to leave my place of residence for the long term. I'm struggling as my depression and anxiety my ptsd has me hallucinating both physical and auditory goings on. I feel as though I'm alone and there is literally no one who gives a toss about whether I should carry on. I ask; "Is it worth the effort and hard work to move towards a life that has no hope or possibility of being any use the to society again".

    A very warm welcome to the community @red51. Thank you for taking the time for sharing this with us. 

    I'm sorry to hear you are struggling so much, you are important to us. Have you spoken to a doctor about how you currently are feeling? The pandemic has been a scary time and you are entitled to support for that.

    MIND have a page full of resources which is around covid19 and how you can access support.

    I hope you have a good day. :)
