Priti Patel would rather eat her own head than do anything so obviously fitting and decent.Nice story on the BBC: France rewards front-line immigrant workers with fast-track citizenship
Seems like a nice idea, I wonder if anyone is thinking about doing that here in the UK?
I'm cracking open the Christmas booze a day early. What a shit government and what a shitty Christmas for everyone.
Brighter skies ahead. At 4pm in late December. I see.
That's more than one in forty people before accounting for those who have it and haven't been tested.
The trouble is, that in the prevailing media climate, it'd end up being a thing where 3 dinner ladies, a team of management accounts, another of estate agents, and several mums from Huddersfield would all end up competing to make the perfect vaccine while overcoming challenges involving linguini, custard, and coasteering, interspersed with heartwarming stories about how their disabled nieces/nephews inspired them to take part.I said this before but the BBC really should make a proper old school documentary about vaccine development. Loads of talking heads on how vaccines have pretty much kept modern urban civilisation viable, regards more leathful diseases. Not being dramatic.
How safety is core, talk to people who've taken part in trials.
How vaccines developed, genome sequencing, using cloud computing, first RNA vaccine, all that stuff.
It's right in their remit.
If this one message could be conveyed by a three-phrase soundbite that they could stick on the front of Clown Boris' podium, a good thing would have been done.Note: classical evolutionary pressure tends to drive towards increased transmissibility with a commensurate reduction in lethality.

The borough and wider surrounding area are following the same trend from what I can see. This is looking very bad.
Trouble is...soon enough 2500 is going to look like quite good.The date range is the same on the .gov.uk site but the figures are different:

Yep this is getting worse and worse and very quickly indeed.Trouble is...soon enough 2500 is going to look like quite good.
We're so fucked.

Which is pretty much what current Government policy seems to be, now I think about it.
They have learnt to just keep people at home to die without treatment rather than allow them into hospitals.Our news reports are going to pretty soon look like those April ones from Bergamo with folk dying on trollies before getting anywhere near a ventilator.
