You would be fuming wouldnt you? Like if you were a normal Frenchie.

What, at ten times the U.K. case rate and seven times the U.K. death rate, surely not. He’s that professor epidemiologist who knows everything. They love him....

EU says 'no evidence' to restrict use of AstraZeneca vaccine

The European Medicines Agency says there is “no evidence” that would support restricting the use of AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine in any population despite reports of rare blood clots associated with the shot

Their own reputation is being shredded by Germany and France. None of this would have happened had AZ charged the same amount as Pfizer for the sale of each dose.....Lesson number 1, don’t undercut the Americans or the Germans .....

Macron is a nob isn’t he ?

Yeah I mean the thing for me probably would be just to leave it a bit or just have people round to the garden, because I'm generally pretty sensible like that.

Went on a ride with my mate today but I've been doing that for the last few months anyway, so no change, just got the tan back! (those festivals won't know what's hit them)

I was sat outside of the pub in the sunshine this evening with a mate, with a few bottles that I fetched from the cellar...

He is, of the highest order.....

We all have different opinions on AZ mate. Personally as a company, I think they bit of more then they can chew, I think the trajectory shows that. But that’s just my opinion. That’s not deriding the vaccine at all, which I think is a wonderful vaccine, I think it deserves a better partner to be honest, but like I say that’s just me.

France and Germany are doing solo runs alright, it’s a bit like if the U.K. was still in the EU they’d be making their own national decision really, we’re lashing it out here after our initial pause.

You should ask France and Germany for any of the stuff they are not using.....

Think any excess should go to some of the EU countries that went for the non Pfizer route and bet heavily on AZ at low cost, they’ve gotten mullered.

I can’t help but wonder how I would feel if I was in Italy or France right. Probably at least a couple of months of severe restrictions before the slow unlock begins

It would have been the same in Germany too, but Merkel went back on it.

Indeed.

The second thing Dave is that we aren't due to have given all adults their first dose until the end of July. This is actually 16 weeks, not 6, and I'm afraid our hospitality and retail industry cannot wait another 16 weeks to open. There probably won't be a hospitality and retail industry to open up again if they do.

Arsed.

Not even messing, but ive got a weird red bruise on my hand.

@davek help me.

I sent it to my brother who works for the NHS and he said "At least people can come to your funeral".

I doubt you're the typical demographic for the embolism.

Thanks Dr David.
