Johnson might need a helping hand. His recent attempts at speeches have been dismal failures. So, in preparation for some time very soon, here’s one I prepared earlier. (I know Johnson doesn’t quite understand the word “prepare” but he might want to pick it up anyway.) "We're leaving Downing...

Hopefully, replace "sandwiches" by "votes", and "picnic" by "by-election".

If you (and I know this is preposterous) believed Johnson, the numbers have risen by 780,000. Sad when the PM gets it wrong by a factor of 10 - and no-one corrects him.

I am aware of a number who had severe reactions to a first dose, and were told to seek advice about what to do next. So far, I am not aware of any who have received proper advice. Yes, some have been told to try one of the other vaccines. But that seemed like an instant response rather than a...

Nor am I.

Fundamentally, if we were to accept your figure, even multiply it a few times and then compare with deaths from Covid, even if we divide the big number a bit because most of accept it is a very difficult number to count properly, we still end up with a situation in which many of us would take...

Prof Tim Spector, who helped found the Covid Zoe app, which tracks the spread of the virus by getting people to report symptoms, told the Today programme this morning that the “majority of symptoms” of the Omicron variant are like a common cold, including headaches, sore throat, runny nose...

You have to take into account the population being vaccinated. How many elderly, in poor health, etc.?

Just how many parties were there? Shaun Bailey quits London assembly role after lockdown party reports Mayoral candidate attended ‘raucous’ event at Conservative party’s campaign HQ last winter

Looks like the number of MPs able to vote is reducing by the minute. So many are testing positive. Despite the warnings, some tories continued to refuse to wear masks. (Whether or not they would have had any meaningful impact.) Unfortunately, it isn't going in the direction of tories losing far...

If you are considering such possibilities, some suggest that around 400 mg of magnesium a day has a significant impact on afib. (Choosing a form which is well absorbed - not magnesium oxide which affects the gut but hardly absorbs at all.)

I wouldn't know.

From figures I have - which were informally collected - among those with a specific range of pre-existing disorders, the proportion reporting no significant issues was around 50%. And of those who were worse with the third/booster, around 20%. Some of those who had bad reactions to the...

And airlines might even be more human than we had thought:

Yes, but... If the rate ramps up as much as the worst-possible predictions, there will be a huge number concurrently infected. Which then means we have to decide who should get the limited supply with very little information to go on. Probably not much more than a patient ringing up and saying...

And T-cells. And that the responses are effective against all known and unknown variants. Certainly, if crossing fingers and toes works, that is the case.

Are we going to get the pills? At-home Covid pill pilot ‘to be rolled out before Christmas’ The UK has secured enough supplies of the drug to treat 480,000 people with the order set to be delivered to the UK by the end of the year...

Bloomin' obvious, wasn't it? Downing Street Christmas party had been planned for weeks https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/downing-street-christmas-party-planned-for-weeks-sqjcxnhwq Secret Santa was a giveaway - if it had been spontaneous about all they could have done is raid the stationery...

I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky. In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics : Plagiarize! Plagiarize! Let no one else's work evade your eyes. Remember why the good Lord made your eyes, So don't shade your eyes, But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize ---...

Did anyone imagine this Johnson "plan" would be otherwise? No more lateral flow home test kits available, says NHS England Website tells people to ‘try again later’, as vaccine booking service reports ‘extremely high demand’...
