    The failure to properly record recovered is poor. We should be seeing more detailed information about time from becoming ill, or being tested, to recovery and all the issues of Long Covid, second infections, etc. I'm not even convinced that any effort is being made to collect the basic data.

    Have seen some really bad distances - 100 miles and more. Which might be understandable, even acceptable, if you live many miles from anywhere. But if you have to drive past vaccine centres to get there, something is obviously wrong.

    At one point, they were definitely not testing after death. And I simply do not know if they are, whether post mortem testing is reliable, etc. Yes - very different to most other diseases. But even then, I think many of us have nice, neat medical textbook understanding of an awful lot of...

    I don't watch any of them! But numerous adverts (and programs) have speed of speaking which defies belief. I have tended to assume it is mostly when they really don't want me to hear - like adding conditions or exceptions and limitations.
