Biontech looking to supply needles that will allow more doses to be extracted. Should help.

Those figures are appallingly low. It basically stands as a simple guide to the % of morons a country contains. I'm pleasantly surprised to see the UK is one of the best.

Merkel isn’t going to help those figures improve by opening talks with Russia on the Sputnik vaccine for Europe - not a chance I’m taking that

England 993 hospital deaths more detail:

Of course, compliance of people walking in parks <2m apart and house parties is what's the cause of the spread.

Not keeping premium air travel to luxury winter holiday destinations open. Oh no.

London/Dubai is now the busiest flight route *in the world* . All essential travel, natch.

London to Dubai now the busiest flight route in the world

Dubai to Heathrow is now officially the world's busiest flight route after a surge in ticket sales this winter.

This govt attempt to shift narrative on to individual compliance is a joke. Don't fall for their lies.

Total deaths for UK - with out of hospital in England only to add is:- 1143, Suggesting we will be up around 1400/1500 total today. Anything more will be more excessive out of hospital deaths in England as we saw midweek when over 600 were added.

It was 980 last week versus 1143 today and all settings then became 1280. With 300 out of hospital add ons from England.

Sturgeon seems quite welcoming of this £500 suggestion to people who test positive. I can see what they're trying to do, and can understand the benefits, but I still have major concerns that people will use this to try and get themselves infected or at the very least become complacent. Potential to backfire hugely has it not?

So long as there is an equally big stick for remaining isolated then it should be OK.
In fact getting infected people isolated is as big a desire as getting older people and at risk people vaccinated. Both will reduce the infection rate.

The R number dropping is expected but boy it is nice to read, those who say lockdowns dont work and such like bollocks are wrong

Where do we go next ? I am dreading todays numbers of admissions and deaths , yes i know deaths are the last thing to go down but i feel every one , i felt like it was very nearly me

Sadly Covidiots need to be told and told again so it does need to happen.

Total cases for the three nations with England to add are:- 3146. It was 5169 last week.

Pretty significant fall.

1401 all settings deaths unfortunately.

Almost exactly as expected. A little fewer out of hospital England deaths today. Just over 250.
