Just over millions was enough to cover the entire first group including all over 80s, the government said as much at the outset. So the fact that having virtually reached that, the best they've managed in an area is 67% of the over 80s and it was announced last night that it's only 50% of over...

That wouldn't have happened, not even remotely near. It contains assumptions that very large numbers of us would be suffering severely. But we don't, the great majority of us only get mild symptoms which pass. And in many large areas far higher numbers of us have probably contracted...

Like I've been preferring, having made a bad start like Sweden we probably should have stuck to it and toughed it out. Then we wouldn't be up the present creek now. .

Exactly as we remainers said would happen, indeed almost all our predictions are coming true now. The future hold lots of regrets. .

I don't think so this time, it's a charity event and always has been. The race is currently organised by Hugh Brasher, son of Chris, as Race Director and Nick Bitel as Chief Executive and the event run by Prudential RideLondon Since the event was first held in 2013, Prudential RideLondon has...

The committee responsible (?) is going ahead with plans for this year's London Marathon with 50,000 runners according to tonight's news. They've decribed this as a beacon of hope for the future! Should do wonders for the infection rate, masses of heavy breathing unmasked runners packed...

I agree, this shows with the large proportion who have contracted covid but had no idea they had. Up to 25 % in peak areas like London and I wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn I'm one of them. Had all the symptoms, mild effects and several days of tiredness following, which keeps recurring...

That actually happened to me in this same practice. In my middle years I hadn't been to the doctor for 15 years and they couldn't find my records when I at last made an appointment. When I attended for the appointment they told me they'd found my records where they'd archived them in the...

Yes, I'd also already spotted that anomaly, showing that it was a fiddled injection as a favour for him. .

Already done, first emailed my doctor and after a week that ignored and no acknowledgment. Then phoned and told reception that and asked them to chase it up. Then later phoned and they told me obviously false story that vaccine had run out. It hadn't. They did say they'd phone me with an...

While now I've entered my 85th year still with no appointment let alone a first jab, despite chasing them, I've just this moment learnt my 71 year old window cleaner has already had his first vaccine jab. Like Boris' father, yet another example of Zlatan's "UK doing well with vaccination"...

The mention of a special needle to get that last extra sixth dose is concerning. That means a squarer cut sharp end to lift it all without sucking air. In turn that means a more blunt and painful skin entry for people frightened of injections, not very helpful. .

Interesting that the Italians are planning to take legal action against Pfizer to ensure they get their 21 day second doses in time. What a difference from our 12 week delay policy and the political refusal to guarantee even that happening in time. .

I knew all that, much of it threatened but not happened. But it's still almost all much better or certainly no worse than here. All here tried to persuade me different last year and they were all proven wrong by the current outcome. Hopefully Sweden won't change tack in the way we've done so...

She's a woman, what else would you expect in this now female biased world. In their wholly justifiable fight for equality the women have accidentally inverted the western world into a matriarchal one, with males just being an irrelevance to be put up with. .

The difference being that you are disagreeing with the fact that Sweden had done so much better than us from a similar start. As I remarked elsewhere, I just wish we'd had Swedens policies since the beginning of last May. About 22,000 still living instead of now dead, our education hardly...

This is a discussion about Britain and Sweden's Covid outcomes, not political popularity. Well over half our country are very unhappy about our present lot's handling of Covid, they lost patience long ago. Sweden is doing fine, 24% lower death rate than ours, not the countless billions of our...

Because you've misused the data. Sweden like others close to the arctic circle have their population densely packed in the south, so your countrywide figures are invalid. That not how they are living. And in the south as very sociable people they live predominantly in cities and towns, just...

You can't even recognise a political excuse intrinsic in the word "might". It's their desperation, clutching at straws to try to maintain we did right. We didn't and our outcome proves it. Sweden did right and their disease, financial and educational outcome proves it. .

ny et al Bunkum. Last year you were all telling me that we should have done like South Korea, China, New Zealand, Germany et al. All very different in various ways to Britain and often to huge degrees. Yet you say Sweden, which is far more similar to Britain than you think and often vastly...
