On that very subject, here is Dr Charlotte Summers of Cambridge University, writing in today’s Guardian:
“The argument often made, citing mortality statistics for those without underlying health conditions, is that the economy will be ruined unless some are free to return to “normal”. It is not that simple. Society is interconnected, and our individual actions have an impact on others. Going to a pub or a restaurant requires people to serve the food and drink; others to supply the goods we consume; cleaners; and a host of other roles, many of which are occupations at increased risk of mortality from Covid.”

" There is currently a discussion, relayed by media such as [the Sun] and [MailOnline] and circulated on social media"

Further to the discussion of why US positive tests are in decline - new high for daily hospitalizations and for deaths yesterday despite positives well below peaks set earlier in the month. Testing took a little break, the virus didn’t.
Well, I know you people don’t like the Tories much (think that is the understatement of the year ) but at least you started the vaccination early December. Today all but one of the EU countries have started. Guess who did not…
Yes, the Netherlands start on the 8th of January a month later than the UK “because we want to be meticulous”. So here you know it only the Dutch are careful. Daft pricks
What’s going on with Germany at the moment @anon27364116 ? Worldometer records 1,244 deaths yesterday, your highest to date and higher than any single day for the UK.
I also note that China’s total number of deaths remains below 5,000. I’m sorry but I find that extremely dubious. There’s also been no apparent change to Russia’s numbers despite the reports that they admitted their true number was three times what they have reported to date.
It’s looking like it’s going to be extremely rough for a lot of countries this winter. Let’s hope that the vaccines are effective and can get to as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
Well done to AstraZeneca for agreeing to produce so much of their vaccine for use by developing countries at cost price.
