    Brother in law just had his letter for vaccination. (He, s 73 and considered in a higher risk) Dates of shots are 10 weeks apart and interestingly they have offered to sort transport if he thinks it required.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Surely time is irrelevant, it's the number of reproductions and new hosts. The more infection there is, the more the chance of mutation. With zero infection over infinite time, little(no?) chance of mutation. With infinite infection in finite time infinite possibilities of mutation. If you want...

    Patrick Valance at tonight's briefing said new variant could be slightly more "deadly" and that death rate for a 60 Yr old could be raised from 1% to 1.35%...but they hadn't seen an increase in hospitals??? What's he basing it on then? The delay proceedure was justified by PC and CW... Both...

    They don't assume any infected apart from those reported. Most countries are testing at best 30% of those actually infected. Trouble is we just don't know how many world wide infected, we have a fair idea here but looking on estimates earlier in week even ours are at best an estimate.

    Flecc I don't think you can blame government for death toll with argument they have done too much.. The financial packages have been generous in most cases and its costing us a fortune, but to then say they should have done less with regards restrictions is actually taking blame away from them...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I was saying exactly this 25 years ago in education. The folk getting promotion were not the best at job, best qualified or anything of kind. They were the ones jumping on this months bandwagon. When that one screeches to a halt they jumped onto another. It has meant for over 20 years now policy...

    I suspect Boris might be announcing a change in policy with vaccine tonight,or perhaps its wishful thinking on my part. I, ve found the Stanley Johnson thing very annoying. Daughter had jab very early, which I was really pleased with. Since having jab she, s got 2 kids(4 and 6 Yr old) out of a...

    Good job. You deserve them. And a lot of your posts are either personally insulting or self congratulatory .... often both. And this post is contradictory. You, ve called somebody thick but then you say you don't insult folk. Says it all.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The second jab has seen arbitrary in lots of places. Some of Daughter's colleagues who had vaccine same day as her have been called for second. She hasn't.. Might be nepotism (if that's the word) with Johnson might be coincidence. Doesn't look good either way.
