Middle son tested positive, after alert from NHS app to test, we presume from his work. Symptomless.

Whole family now apprehensively in self isolation.

Best wishes for that going well for you.

How Covid "sceptic" scientists statements stack up against the progress of the epidemic.

For context, Gupta and Heneghan were authors of the infamous "Great Barrington Declaration", and were invited to Downing st in Sept when the govt decided not to lock down against SAGE advice. Sikora is all over the media, despite being warned by Imperial College not to misrepresent himself as part of that institution.

They genuinely looked like they were going through the front door.

I would be willing to put a large sum of money on that being the case.

A pub in Marple Bridge was fined for serving customers as normal, not sure if it's the same pub you are referring to but clearly something was going on....

Very surprised the French police haven't just gone in there and kicked the shit out of them, very unlike them

Yes, I thought that.

Russian epidemic seems to have turned with the onset of vaccination but is it correlation or cause? They don't have a variant to deal with.

I read this morning that India has built up 50 million doses of the Astrazeneca vaccine pending approval. Obviously they have a much bigger population than we do but it made me think about all this talk about producing and manufacturing vaccine at risk. I don't see much evidence that the pharmaceutical companies actually did this. The papers report that Astrazeneca have 4m doses which can be supplied to the UK once they have been checked and thereafter they can produce 2m a week. if they can do that then fine. We can vaccinate our way out if this in a matter of weeks, but it doesn't look like a stockpiling ever happened - and we were led to believe that they were doing that.

India approved it yesterday.
As to Russia - The Russian winter tends to put a stop to most social contact for a few months.
