Supposedly top four groups by 14th February. In Wales, at least.

Someone I know has just been admitted to hospital with yet-to-be-diagnosed issues including some mentioned. I don't think there is a Covid-19 aspect but it has made me particularly alert to seeing articles about brain-related issues. Given how bad psychiatric support is in the UK (and probably...

Just as well we in the UK can make all the cars we need - and all the parts required. And do so without any fuel consumption or other issues or safety recalls. And then export our surplus to the rest of the world. World beating.

Article about how much vaccine we have, etc. Why The UK Can't Vaccinate People Any Faster The Covid vaccine rollout is going well, with nearly half a million people inoculated on Sunday. But there's a catch...

It's all magic powered by Merlin. As ever, the wrong aeroplane. The vaccine should have been named after the Hurricane. No-one wants a hurricane. Whereas we love dwelling on weather forecasts from many years ago.

Never banned in the UK - we had sovereignty over that despite being in the EU, just as it was banned in France and remained so until relatively recently by virtue of their sovereignty. (Similarly, desiccated thyroid medicine is actually illegal in France. The story of why is based on mistakes...

MasterCard upping fees from 0.3% to 1.5% on purchases by UK people buying from EEA countries. No cap now due to brexit.

Giuliani also now sued by Dominion Voting Systems for $1.3 billion. Powell was the other day.

It was weeks, if not months, ago there was talk of using Oxford-AstraZeneca for one dose and Sputnik for the second. From memory, they were thinking about doing a trial. Even some hope that such an approach might be better in terms of coping with variations in the virus. No idea what then...

The UK figures are, I suspect, likely to be distorted by different approaches. In England (it appears), they have done everything they can to publish a "live" headline figure. Whilst not fully verified, it is obviously going to report the biggest number possible. It is subject to revision (up or...

Are all second doses equal, though? Although we are not getting to the 12 week gap yet, many must be waiting more than 21 days for their second dose. If the gap matters as much as some fear, simply having had a second dose might not provide the additional cover that Pfizer/BioNTech claim. (Or...
