Yay, the vaccine is on it’s way, but has to be stored at -70 degrees: so don’t buy over the internet!
A new more easily stored one is going through final stages of testing.

Oh, that’s good it seems we only hear about private health over there.

Minus 70 degrees apparently.
@girlwithsmiles Celcius? Fahrenheit? Kelvin?
@GeorgeRocheleau centigrade, and here is the proposal for transport and storage: [bbc.co.uk]
So keeping it at minus 20 degrees is "more easily stored"?

It’s the Oxford/ AstraZenica one they’re talking about. They said it was easier to store on the news, but not the specifics. But apparently it can be stable at 2-8 degrees, CNN Philippines reported (not the link, that’s about the 4 forerunning vaccines).

@girlwithsmiles Astra Zeneca's vaccine, if approved, can be kept in a household fridge for up to a week.
I was thinking of the Moderna vaccine which needs -20 degree storage.
