When all the time it was Britain of course. Even Boris Johnson knows that. .

I don't think we should punish the Covid deniers though, best reward their courage in standing up for their beliefs. Say a month long holiday in a large Brazilian city, getting them there by hedge hopping in Boeing 737 Max 8s with lots of take offs and landings. ;) .

Well it seems my cage rattling about my virus situation has had an effect, indeed a multiple one. Several minutes ago I had a call from my surgery to give me a first thing Friday appointment at the health centre for a vaccine jab. They don't know what sort so I don't know yet if it's shipped...

This has always been the case, each country having a certifying authority. Though the EU has EASA to do that, each EU country also has its own NAA. Information Link If the EU ever achieved its ambition to be a single country of Europe, EASA would become their NAA. .

Tough, we know our hospital bed to population ratio is one of the most inadequate in the western world so it's what we are stuck with. And will remain while we keep returning the Tories to power. .

That was ages ago and widely mentioned. Using the Pfizer as a single dose gave 70 to 90% protection according to them. Applying it in two half doses brought 52% protection from the first jab, bringing that up to 95% following the second dose at 21 days later. I'm surprised you didn't see...

On past issues I agree. But that doesn't mean we should stop complaining about current issues that can still be corrected. Like the vaccine distribution shambles. .

Zlatan said 80% coping well. 38,000 in hospitals is 0.06% of the population, so 99.94% are doing well at coping with Covid. Crisis? What crisis? .

The makers tests showed a 5% improvement from 90 to 95% using two doses, hardly crucial in such a random outcome field. So I'll choose to trust those rather than one of the increasingly strange and inconsistent reports coming out of Israel. .

At vaccinating very large numbers of people the UK isn't doing well, it's doing brilliantly. At vaccinating them intelligently it's doing very badly indeed. Having my large network I'm getting plenty of information on that. With Croydon now out of the Pfizer we received, very high priority...

But there's not enough vials ! Of course if they hadn't started this half dose nonsense and just stuck to a single full dose, they'd only need half the number of vials and got the job done quicker in the end . .

Note the cop out in the last sentence, claimed supplied, not in peoples arms. He doesn't realise how skilled we are at underachieving, like my surgery for example. .

Or much lower? See this post .

This is what I meant when I suggested that many deaths of old people with underlying conditions put down to Covid are nothing of the sort. Covid-19 is so entrenched in all minds now, that has become inevitable. Cause of death is often difficult to ascertain and Covid-19 has become too easy a...

I stopped watching a long time ago. I never last more than a few episodes into any soap. .

Yes, but not mixing with the Pfizer. Apparently we'll learn about the Johnson and Johnson vaccine next week, which is a single dose one. That would be the best to go ahead with, simplifying life for everyone. N.B. Don't worry, Boris is not one of those two Johnsons. .

The energy I really need now is the type to get me from 9am to 11 pm. I just about manage from 11pm to 9am on the energy I do have. .

Including the gas stove and the fuel for your car? .

I've got a perfectly good one (though not a smartphone) but they didn't phone it. Thats because it's no use the 95% of the time I'm at home with no mobile reception, so I don't advise anyone to use it to try to contact me. .

Anyone who has followed the saga of my vaccine situation will be interested to learn the final irony. While I was out this afternoon for my weekly shop, the vaccine centre phoned. I phoned straight back on getting in, but it was too late. Apparently they'd allocated a last few doses that...
