Another change - possibly not quite a U-turn - re vaccinations: Matt Hancock said on Monday the government was “on track” to meet the mid-February target. He said 91% of the over-80s had had a vaccine dose, 95% of those aged 75 to 79 and almost three quarters of those aged 70 to 74. But he...

However, if we look at the words, they include "people infected", which is interesting. I suspect many read that as "people becoming infected". Not sure how they should be interpreted.

The traditional version is “enough is as good as a feast” - is one jab enough? Or is it like smelling the food but the doors are locked?

When it comes to the EU's performance re vaccines, I think it interesting (even if utterly futile) to consider what might have happened without brexit. If the UK is so well respected and competent in this regard, perhaps the best parts of the UK implementation could have been achieved across...

They need Scotland to leave the UK and join the EU. Then they can have lots of the famous engineers of the MacHinery clan to replace what they now use.

Except that at least one inhalable substance is based on iodine. And has pronounced effects on thyroid hormone levels. I know many would be pretty much unaffected, but there seems to be no realistic way of identifying in advance those who are likely to have problems. Many might tolerate one...

Which, if (or rather, when) it leaks out actually undermines our faith in the vaccines.

You might have expected them to shout that from the rooftops.

I think I have heard of just about every imaginable regime of dosing. Most end up as you are, morning before breakfast. But a number do find bed-time preferable. Especially those who cannot wait for their morning drinks and breakfast. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32022947/

They know not of what they speak. There has never been research which has demonstrated that they should be taken in the morning. It was simply an assumption. Based, at least partly, on the wrong-headed idea that it acts like a stimulant - a strong cup of coffee! There have been several...

I'm sure she understands what to expect from a smear, but he might have a surprise: 'Smear and falsehoods' Crunch time for SNP as Sturgeon-Salmond rift laid open Two inquiries into what the first minister knew about claims against her predecessor threaten to split party ahead of crucial polls

I don't think I have the appetite for seeing any more about the orange one, but this sounds to be of some interest: Trump Takes on the World After one of the most shocking presidencies in history, Donald Trump’s top advisers and the leaders who clashed with him lift the lid on the critical...

I found that a bit later and it is, indeed, a start. I wonder how much they will be able to produce, what the patent situation is, how much it will cost, etc., etc.... :)

Shame the stabbing rate escalated...

Our EU exports are pretty dire... Fury at Gove as exports to EU slashed by 68% since Brexit Hauliers say Cabinet Office minister ignored warnings, amid fears that worse is to come with introduction of import checks in July...

I wonder what is meant when the reports say "inexpensive"? I want a bit more than a press release, please.

I take mine at bedtime.

Product Code https://ec.europa.eu/health//sites/health/files/files/falsified_medicines/201602_stakeholders_workshop_final.pdf I think there should be another code - maybe says "MAH"? Often along the bottom edge of thin card packs as used to contain blister packs.
