Big covid surge in India would suggest events such as the recent test series between India and England wasn't a good idea. Surprise.

For Gods sake, nobody show @davek this.

2700 cases is a day is very low. For comparison in Germany yesterday there were 28,000

Hope the aftereffects aren’t too bad x

All this hubris. It's very sad.

And I suspect, being an intelligent man, you know we are far away from being out of this crisis and that it'll come around again with huge numbers of casualties before next winter.

They’ve already started. I got home and found I’d locked myself out!

A vaccine for malaria would be superb news, cross fingers that the Phase 3 trials are successful

Edit along with the border closures the article highlights the success of Vietnam contact tracing
”Contact tracing became so widespread that the population now speaks the language of epidemiologists: It’s not unusual to hear Vietnamese people refer to the “F1” through “F5” system — how contact tracers denote a person’s proximity to an “F0,” or index case. (And, yes, where Western governments largely abandoned contact tracing or didn’t even seriously attempt it, Vietnam continues to ferret out potential cases by testing all F1s — a patient zero’s immediate contacts — and quarantining them in a state facility, while also asking F2s to quarantine at home.)”

It was just a joke mate...we still have a good percentage of the population that require the jab, but I believe we are set up nicely in the U.K. now. We just keep our eye on the numbers, but every jab is one less person who can spread it and one less person that might have gone into hospital.....We took it very seriously in our area, as did all of our friends, but by the time the pubs open the insides our inoculation numbers, which are already outstanding, will be improved by another ten million, and it will drive the chances of catching Covid even lower.....
