I though with your comments about keeping the fear ramped up we were playing a game of shit stirring. Some days it is hard not to be a trouble maker on here........ The daily stats in the daily briefing are helpful to some people but surely a weekly look at the stats gives a better understanding of how things are progressing or not instead of being obsessed with them daily which can’t be good for some people’s levels of anxiety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would really like to know is the effects of giving one dose of Oxford and then, after a period of time, one doze of Pfizer. Would this result in even more efficacy and added protection against the South African variant? In saying that, being a cross-product question, this sort of trial probably wouldn't be carried out by the drug companies themselves as part of verification/certification, so would be less likely to happen in time for it to have an effect on policy-making this time around.

If you work in the North Sea and fly directly back to Scotland, not via Norway, I doubt you would have to quarantine since they do strict checking already and run fairly closed systems. Government looking at exceptions for some areas, including oil and gas workers: https://www.energyvoice.com/coronavirus/298267/oil-workers-could-be-granted-exemption-to-scotland-travel-quarantine-measures/ Of course, exemptions should have been looked at and decided upon *before* the measures were announced.

Aye sound. Bear in mind that a lot of countries these (us) guys work in will require a fortnights quarantine on the way to work also, and you can see how this is basically unworkable. The global O&G industry is a big employer in Jockland due to our extensive experience and expertise.

I can only speak for people at Wood , BP , Shell , Stena and a few others I know. They are all getting their time at home and being paid to quarantine and having that quarantine paid for already. So now it will just be a requirement instead of voluntary. Id imagine nothing will change in terms of these people. @redjambo was thinking about your response but there are plenty cases happening offshore and thats with the above in place.
