Looks like I'll be at the back end of a very very long queue.

Vaccine Queue Calculator for the UK

The vaccine queue calculator for the UK estimates where you are in the queue to get your COVID vaccine based on your age, health, and job.

Sounds a lot, but broken down by GP surgeries, its not really. Assuming they have enough jabs that is.

Filtration effect? But which way are they talking about.
The masks available to the general public are not expected to filter out incoming particles. They're to stop saliva and snot droplets leaving an infected person and passing on the virus to another person.
Ordinary, not medical surgical asks, are worn to give 10% protection to yourself but 90% protection to others.
How long is it going to take to get this fact into some people's heads.

Mirror article

This is the mask study for anyone who is interested.

I still think that the headline is misleading and unhelpful.
The study was carried out with surgical masks as used by health professionals.
Any face covering interfering with the spray of bocal and nasal droplets is bound to reduce the spread of the virus by its main mechanism.
OK, transmission via aérosol is another thing.

Does wearing boxers help stop that?

Now that London is in T3, the media overdrive to push everywhere into lockdown has started again.

Pathetic.

Now the national effort to test kids in school, brain dead half wits running this country, or they simply really don't care and just want some illusion!

School staff 'broken' by England's late Covid test plan

Last minute plans for mass testing in England's secondary schools to be run by teachers anger staff.

Just close them and lock everything down.

Or let everyone go about their daily routines with guidelines in place instead of rules.

This 'inbetween' approach from the government is doing nothing.

Email off kids school just now about staggered starts and learning from home next term along with a testing policy.
The info given to the Head teacher yesterday.
They finished school half an hour ago.
Absolute shambles yet again.
