I have been looking at the reductions in published case loads almost daily and i am disappointed to see that almost everywhere the reduction from the third wave is much less pronounced than it should be. There are starting to be anti everything demonstrations .. we had one in Dublin on...

no to both. the legal situation regarding the AZ vaccine and where the contractual gaps were will no doubt be sorted in an EU court. AZ being a Swedish company.

Suzan. Lets parse this a little. Everyone in Europe is happy that the UKs vaccination program is working and 20 M jabs have happened. There are however a few wrinkles,.l 1. The EU is less than happy that warehouses which they had been expecting to be filled with AZ vaccine on 29th...

Mittens... Always mittens. . Providing there this enough play to get to the brake handle. Gloves are a bad idea. Its true for fingers as it was for Brexit .. we are stronger together. High quality fine leather gloves are the worst ..maybe even worse than no gloves.

OG, maybe I am misreading you but in fairness the vaccination program is working in both the UK and in Ireland, in the short term. It is reducing the hospital admission rates. The Israeli experience has demonstrated it. Now the cycle is jab the vaccine and irrespective of the brand, immunity...

And there will be others until we stamp it out. Presumably the Brazilian is a very small number of cases, just like the original last February, and hiding in plain view, just as the original was masking as flu last January a year ago.

This is the point ..at what stage is a booster shot a new innoculation?. I am not sure that the gamble was a good or bad call, ..but it was certainly rash and imprudent. I don't think it is wise to have rash leadership. Again I remain worried about facilitating mutant variants. If I could be...

My real fear is that it will facilitate mutant and new strain propagation. There is no evidence that it will or will not, but decades of antibiotic abuse suggests caution. New Scientist has a very interesting article about an attempt to create a universal CV vaccine , by targeting the...

Yes. I am aware of this. Now getting the time line sorted would reduce the hysteria. 1. End of January!!! 29th. . AZ approved as safe by EMA,and requiring authorisation by member states . This has the caveats regarding age as identified. 2. EU !ooks to the warehouses expecting supplies , and...

I have been watching American Gods on and off on Amazon prime. I thought it was an OTT Parody, not realising it was a national geographic anthropologic documentary.

"Germany has loads of AZ but have painted themselves into a corner regarding its use.".. and you know this how?. Divine intuition?

Regrettably your second sentence is as yet an hope not an established fact. But the data is growing, .. particularly from the UK which is working as a trials laboratory for the world. As previously stated, the information as provided to the EMA and of course to the UK equivalent, was deficient...

I am tempted to quote your pal Polly!!. . But I will refrain an confine myself to FACTs. The reduction in hospital admissions in the UK is very welcome and due mainly to the Pfizer vaccine. Why?. Because the AZ has not been in use long enough for its effectiveness to have affected the...

I just watched that Lucy Worster documentary about the Blitz... The UK has already lost more than 3 times that number of to CV19!.

I note that O'Toole in todays Irish Times has picked up a theme I introduced some months ago. Ireland had achieved Full suppression of the virus in June July and then snatched failure from the jaws of victory.,by not starting a credible quarantine. Evidence proves that the first wave of Italian...

Nope!. Its Irish rain. Manufactured by leprechauns out in the Atlantic. We keep the really fresh stuff in Kerry and on the West Coast , and only the dregs make it across to Snowdonia. ..true story,. We were running a seminar here in Dundalk with colleagues from the College in Galway in a...

Good.. Then both we and the EU are of one mind. Scotland starts off with the advantage that it has enormous fishing grounds, ..which the EU will be happy to engage with, then sell what remains of North Sea Oil at a good price, and of course their Hydropower. .. How is England self sufficient...

That is not apparently what your SC ruled. .. What it merely said ,the Home Sec. Is not obligated to bring her to a safe place from which to make her appeal. So her situation remains in legal limbo. They make no judgement on the legality or morality of her case.

Thank God for having a Constitution and rights of citizenship.

Musk is thinking USA . US cities are designed for big cars. European .. and to certain extent, Asian cities and villages long predate the car and need agile vehicles. It is only the Imperial Cities .. Central Paris, London, Berlin Moscow etc that the Teslas suit. The way I see it, it is...
