Where’s the one you seem to crave that will avoid all vaccines? Nowhere to be seen just like the mythical one I described.

Depends what you mean by avoid. Moderna already has a new variant vaccine in Phase I and II trial so there you go. They wouldn't invest money and resources unless they see it as a significant risk. And that's all I see it as...a risk which we should be aware of.

Wales data:

6 deaths - was 12 last week

196 cases - was 217 last week

1.6% positivity - was 1.7% last week

Weekly Pop score 42 - was 42 yesterday - was 42 last week.

Think you can call that flatlining.

one of the real, unspoken scandals of this pandemic, was practice at Stepping Hill too. Plenty of people have died who haven't even been given the chance to be saved because the staff were forcing DNR's on ill patients just because they had Covid.

I know this stat is a bit behind given that today's numbers have been announced, but of all the 488 infections announced yesterday in Scotland, only 15 of those were in people aged 65+.

35 England hospital deaths - with 4 from the North West.

Always low on Sunday, of course. But this is the lowest in many months and down from 49 and 1 last week.
