Brexit, for once some facts.

I think it's folk reacting to vaccine before they are immune/have protection. I looked last night on Worldometer for Israel and was surprised to see no improvement 3 weeks after vaccine started, but I suppose it takes longer to show... And I suspect number infected will always be high? Hospitalisations should come down but not necessarily infections..I've added Israel to the the countries I look at regularly on the Covid stats. As I noted resterday, it is way ahead of any other country on cumulative number of vaccinations per person, but I now see it is also second only to Czechia on number of new cases per person (7 day average).
Does anyone know why this is? On the face of things it doesn't make vaccination look that effective. It may partly be down to more rigorous testing and thus actually finding and recording cases?

I do still think our long delay for 2nd jab had something to do with keeping people following rules.???
That's deaths of course, of whIch there are far, far less than the infected. I think today's mass testing is what is throwing up huge numbers of false positives in the two ways I mentioned.

Good to learn they are concentrating on the most important issues of greatest concern to us.

Good summary of the responses it got on Twitter. (Which are visible without joining.)
it's the ratio deaths per new cases that you want to watch.
At the moment, it's roughly 1 death/30-40 cases.
As the vaccine should stop 9/10 deaths, that ratio should drop dramatically. I expect to see 1 death per 300 new cases by June.
Meanwhile in Little England ,a small offshore European Island, while these idiots jest
The speed of going from frictionless trade to tradeless friction has been truly remarkable.

Maroš should reply:
Dear Michael
You'll be delighted to learn that I have a solution which answers all of your concerns in full.
All that is necessary is for the UK to join the EU and the problems will automatically disappear.

Johnson has twice made the same threat to invoke Article 16, the first time was a fortnight before they did!
What a country we have become

Down here in London we call those Birmingham screwdrivers.
They come in Sledge, Club, Ball Pene and Claw varieties.

It probably escaped notice across the water ,but the date indicated by Grove in his letter was not accidental. It is intended as a lifeline to the DUP ,which otherwise will be hammered in elections which take place in 2022. Moreover he basically admits he has not actually seen the offending regulation.(.nor have I or had anyone has published it ) . He accepts that the published one with the agreement of the EC is not offensive.
I understand that a response was sent by the EC today , which basically says ... NIX.
Around here, Glasgow and Dundee are the favoured places for their use.
Glasgow I can well believe, but Dundee I found somewhat genteel.
Perhaps the fact that at that time I was a guest of John Brown, the Queen's Right Honourable Lord Lieutenant of Dundee and his family influenced that impression !

In my time working in Glasgow, it felt safer and nicer than many parts of London. That was mostly central and Pollokshields, Mount Florida, not the worst areas.
