There’s three rules: make wild accusations; ignore the other side; call for me everyone to be culled. Pick you topic and begin.
I just bought beer
At least we are doing something, "right".
Culled.
Manaus already had an awful wave in the spring
They have largely chosen to ignore the virus in Brazil now. I reckon full implications of this will not be known for several years.

I am not sure they are looking at the EU or US at this point, mate. As of a couple of days back, AZ (Oxford) had not even filed an application with the European Medicines Authority.
The challenges of the other vaccines will make scale an issue, and that is in a developed nation.
For developing nations, places where the virus can rest and mutate further, it'll be almost impossible to use a vaccine that requires a specialised cold chain - even with the best will of the COVAX Facility.
There's a lot of crap being spouted on both 'sides' (not that I think there should be a side).
I think schools should stay shut, but I understand why they've tried to keep them open.
Thanks for that Legs. The follow up tweet also focuses on London.
All that can be linked directly back to not putting London and the SE into Tier 3 at the start of December. Rates went up there in the first two weeks of the month and, shock, two weeks later it's going to go up around the country drastically too.
It was a stupid step which set us back - while I'm sure there'd still have been a rise anyway, it would not have been as severe - and not one person in the British media or house of commons questioned it at the time the decision was made.

Modes of transmission of virus causing COVID-19: implications for IPC precaution recommendations
Scientific brief
It's probably worth considering the possibility that the new strains' higher level of infection and the worry about the protection offered by masks might indicate that it is fully airborne thus transmissible through the eyes etc.

Crikey. And consequences of Xmas and NY still to come
Preliminary data suggests that Liverpool’s infection rate has gone from mid 200s to 378 per 100,000 with the trajectory to be above 450 soon.
That change is over three to four days too, so it could go to the 400-500 mark within a few days.

I am pretty sure I read (could be wrong on this) that the aerosols get diluted by fresh air, which is why outdoors is low risk and opening a window now and then reduces risk as fresh air blows in and dilutes aerosolsModes of transmission of virus causing COVID-19: implications for IPC precaution recommendations
