Ah that explains it, I was wondering why there had been a significant reduction in your rants against the French recently;)

I too have noticed a shortage of some items at a couple of different super markets for about a week or so now. I think super markets stuffed their ware houses until they were packed tight prior to the start of the year. I wonder if some of that supply is starting to run out now. All the news...

Details of the variant of the Kent variant can be found here. UK variant has mutated again, scientists say - BBC News

I think a little over100 people with the S. Africa variant have now been discovered in the UK. A Virologist on LBC earlier this evening said that we do genomic testing on 1 in 30 people who have tested positive for CV. He went on to say that likely means that we actually have 30 times more...

I've tried day trading several times, and swing trading (this is holding a trade from say a day up to about a week), either broke even or lost a bit every time I tried. Trading short term is extremely difficult, very few people (maybe 1%) succeed over the long term. I eventually realized...

Israel have now released some official results of their vaccination programme, here are some of the numbers. Only 317 out of 715,425 or 0.04% of people became infected a week after becoming fully vaccinated against the disease. Fully vaccinated in this context means receiving both doses of the...

I found this on another forum I think it's basically saying what I said above.

Germany is in a fairly strong position compared to many of the other EU countries. The Pfizer vaccine was invented there, by a German company. I think I am right in saying they have the manufacturing capacity to make the Pfizer vaccine there in large quantities. They have ordered 90 million...

The daily infection rates shown on the Governments dash board seem to be showing a steep decline in the number of people catching the virus, and yet the weekly survey carried out by the ONS, show that infection rates have stopped falling and are just holding steady. The numbers for the last two...

I would probably re-phrase that to say it's basically a scheme to take money from some hedge funds. Robinhood, one of the stock trading brokerages heavily involved in all this makes a lot of money selling trading information to financial institutions such as large hedge funds. Other brokerage...

I overheard someone on the radio saying that the EU plan to suggest to the individual governments of the EU 27 that they individually decide if they want to allow vaccine made in their countries to be exported to a country not in the EU. Have you heard anything about this? If this is correct...

Two people in Brazil have been found to have two different strains of the corona virus at the same time. Details from the live up date page of the Guardian. "Researchers in southern Brazil said they have discovered patients infected with two different strains of the new coronavirus...

Without knowing a lot of the detail due to commercial confidentiality it looks to me as though the EU have been too slow off the block when it comes to AZ vaccine purchase. I have found it interesting though that Boris and Co are trying to keep right out of any arguments with the EU over all...

Who do you think AZ are going to want to keep sweet, the UK or the EU (assuming they don't have enough supply to satisfy both parties)? Or to put it another way who has most leverage on AZ the UK or the EU? I don't know the answers to these questions, I would guess it was the EU, but due to...

I am sure you have all noticed how reluctant Ministers and Health Officials have been to disclose how much vaccine supply they have and how much they are likely to get over the coming weeks. Speculation on a Newsnight programme a week or two ago thought that it may be that we did not want the...

The UN recognises over 250 countries in the world. Covid is running riot through a great many of them, but probably less than 50 countries have the technology to seriously look for variants. My guess would be that there are lots of variants similar to the Kent, Brasil (two of them) and South...

Even if the defendant was a fat necked, tattoo sporting Brexit dad with French ancestry?

I agree, at first I thought having a 3 month gap between each injection was the way forward, as time has gone by I have changed my mind several times on this, and at the moment I just don't know. On the Sophie Ridge programme this morning someone was saying that there was some evidence from the...

I wasn't paying much attention so I can't say which player or which football team it was, but a commentator said yesterday that one of the players had been diagnosed with covid twice. I don't know how far apart each diagnosis was but I think as time goes by we are likely to hear about a lot...

My Father in law has his vaccination yesterday, he is in his early 80s. He drove into the doctors surgery car park, there was someone there to meet him. He was then asked if he wanted to go into the surgery to have the injection or he could have it in the car. He chose to have it in his car...
