Rate of delivery of vaccine is reducing - not clear exactly when, nor for how much or how long. Apparently calling 65-69 is likely to happen very soon, but possibly the actual vaccinations will be done at a lower rate and take longer. (Could be Wales-only, of course!)

Could there be a significant number of healthcare and care home staff?

Off for a Covid-19 test! Zoe has asked me to do it - and partner.

Close enough as to be overturned, possibly repeatedly, over the years as more evidence is found.

I'd have expected "must" (or "shall") for imperative. Contrast: You should vote in the local elections. vs. You must vote in the local elections. "Should" is justified by there being consequences of not voting - such as the (potential) electorate not getting the people they wish elected...

Pressing ahead... Wales on course to be first UK nation to offer Covid jab to all priority groups Everyone in top four categories will have been offered first dose by weekend, says first minister...

How much rests on a single word!

Glasgow does have an underground railway!

Local papers do get wound up - but this is obviously yet more brexit fallout. Entirely predictable - and was predicted. Though some of the worst suggested both closing. From a personal point of view, it would be nice if we could get a morning ferry across, spend a few hours, and come back over...

Finders keepers. Losers greeters.

The only time I ever saw someone walk up to another chap and damn near kill him with a single devastating upper-cut was in a pretty ordinary pub in London. Over a "game" of pool. Afterwards, he chose to stand around and make sure no-one was in a position to help the chap out cold on the floor...

My little bit of the world has a few impressive figures. Especially Health and Social Care workers. I think the P3 & P4 initially look a touch disappointing but they are very much still in progress...

In my time working in Glasgow, it felt safer and nicer than many parts of London. That was mostly central and Pollokshields, Mount Florida, not the worst areas.

And sending billets doux to their friends in the EU: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/957996/2020_02_02_-_Letter_from_CDL_to_VP_S%CC%8Cefc%CC%8Covic%CC%8C.pdf (PDF last changed 03/02/2021.)

Good summary of the responses it got on Twitter. (Which are visible without joining.)

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, JRM - disguised as a door - (should have) got his knob shot off. Instead of which he tediously...

Not all asthmatics get steroid-based medications. Some get by on, for example, ventolin or whatever alone. I'd expect checking that would be reasonably straightforward?

Which is an interesting observation itself. Suggests that just breathing does not emit sufficient viral particles to reach and remain in the nasal cavity. Maybe deep coughing does spread, whereas even sneezing doesn't? Could mouth-breathing be a factor - whether it affects rate of...

Sobering thought: Good morning, Amelia Hill here bringing you the thought-provoking news that the director of the Covid-19 Genomics UK consortium, Sharon Peacock, has just told the BBC that the coronavirus variant first found in the British region of Kent is likely to sweep around the world and...
