I see the UK is expanding mixed vaccine trails - recruiting for (AZ or Pfizer + Moderna) and (AZ or Pfizer + Novavax). (Centres are too far away for me to volunteer.) While Germany is switching all under-50s who have had only one AZ vaccination to a second of Pfizer or Moderna. Without trials...

Umm, am I missing your point? Doesn't it mean three-quarters did die of Covid - rather than a quarter?

I'm in online communication with quite a number of people who inject themselves (or partners, etc.) - IVF, B12, insulin, and several other reasons. (Without even considering those who might be injecting other substances.)

No - the website for NHS England has fallen over...

Don't get confused between your velcro and the patches... Novel microneedle array developed to deliver COVID-19 vaccine to mice Researchers have created a microneedle array that successfully delivered a COVID-19 vaccine to mice, allowing them to produce antibodies against the virus...

The have been suggestions of a micro-needle array being a potential route of administration. Just slap it on your skin and it's done.

Four NHS organisations. GIG ≠ NHS England, etc.

Not clear why not just go out and buy some linoleic acid? Remdesivir as well might be even better - but linoleic is pretty cheap and available.

If you are being positive, how about this: Asthma drug helps older people cope with Covid at home – study Inhaling budesonide found to shorten recovery for over-65s, and over-50s with underlying conditions...

Many vaccinations in Wales have been done by GP surgeries and pharmacies. Sorry - I don't have figures to hand. My vaccination was done by our GP surgery but at the local rugby club...

I remember coming up with the idea that no-one should receive from the government more than the average income of the population. OK - so I was something like ten years old at the time. Obviously a communistic upbringing. :) It would certainly see quite a lot of people get a huge reduction in...

I noticed that in the background of a news report re HRH from Cardiff, a building which I think is part of Cardiff Castle had one flagpole. Upon which one flag was at half-mast. Despite Johnson's requirement that all government buildings fly the union flag, with the union flag taking precedence...

Even worse, much of the time it is difficult to find out what those byelaws are. And not just local authorities but national parks, military establishments, railways, airports, ports, forestry, water parks and goodness knows what else. Much of the time virtually none of us would even think...

NHS Covid app in England and Wales cannot be updated! Test and Trace (who? they?) have managed to break one of the fundamental rules Apple and Google required all developers to agree. As the new version breaks that, neither Apple nor Google will permit the update. These apps are not allowed to...

So now an investigation into Cameron's lobbying. I guess Johnson thinks any blame will accrue to Cameron and others - not so much to his mob.

In my post I wasn't arguing for a specific law. Just that it shouldn't have taken Cameron any time at all to realise that his behaviour and actions were in appropriate, even if not illegal. I remember when the Health and Safety at Work Act came about. One of the first pieces of legislation that...

Cameron: “However, I have reflected on this at length. There are important lessons to be learned. As a former prime minister, I accept that communications with government need to be done through only the most formal of channels, so there can be no room for misinterpretation.” Just how can it...

Odd wording: antibodies able to control emerging variants should be developed. Is anyone developing antibodies as a treatment? (Yes, I know the use of the blood from those previously infected. But the words do not read as if they refer to that.)

Recently (for me) it has been almost entirely vans and Range Rovers which have been laying down smoke trails. Most motorbikes have been very clean - at least in the visible/smellable area!

Anyone care to estimate the pollution caused by multiple 41-gun salutes? Explosives? Energy input? Shoe polish? Smoke and carbon particulates? Metallic nanoparticles? You: Keep yourself warm by putting on more clothes, turning the thermostat down, relying on solar panels. Them: Splurge...
