    this is the opening position of lawyers in a compo claim, not a statement of fact as some seem to think. we'll see. there are about 80 claimants in UK, from what 35 million who received the vaccine.

    the Inquiry probably will cover this, much of it is gathering testimony and opinions of people invovled. trouble is those reporting and sharing the testimony are very selective about what they report. unless you wade through hours of Q&A each day you'll get the 280 character version from...

    not about that name. its about how easily it is to give misinformation. the Prof said one thing but what you read on twitter is different. since we've come to it, where did you get the 20-25k number from? that is the number of all deaths through autumn, Prof Edmunds was responding to question...

    according to Prof Edmunds the deaths through autumn could have been cut with a full lock down. not due to eat out scheme, something the Prof confirmed, who didnt like how it looked. twitter and selective quoting have made people's minds up, despite the data and actual testimony.

    was more complex than cost, asking all teachers and pupils to stay on after school or weekends was considered a brave policy and dropped. instead a smaller amount have been given to schools to target those needing intervention. dont know that other countries have managed differently, initial...

    this will be interesting test of their resolve in Scotland. they about double the rate than England, and have the power to bring in mask and other mandates if they wish. so they can go ahead and legislate.

    my views, along with the virus, have changed. it was very serious, then vaccines made it a problem managable with care, now the virus become so weak its cold like. its important to recognise this isnt the same disease as we faced two years ago because it affects public policy and indeed peoples...

    this is covered by no longer being required to isolate. we will now treat covid the same as any other illness.

    well there's no shortages of LFT, and education are still dishing them out like sweeties. hope you'll manage though with the virus, now become no more severe than a common cold. from the playground there is a cold bug going round thats hitting the kids (and consequently adults) worse than dose...

    we've gone from inflating numbers to underreporting in a month, doesnt really help confidence. hospital numbers should be reporting only those treated for symptoms, and broken down for severity. gives a realistic scale of problem. testing should probably have been phased out to June, with quota...

    2% is a number ive heard, which is suprisingly modest and may depend on qualification of useless. a lot was "expired" too. amount overpriced probably never known, difficult to qualify as you expect some price movement when the world increased demand 10-fold.

    well the price reduced from £6 in the headline to £2.40 by line 3, bodes well for future price reductions.

    government has run like that for decades, difference is social media diseminates the leak more widely and faster than before. ministers having any expertise in thier department has been the exception rather than the rule. they rely on advisors and the department senior civil servants, they set...

    in deed it does. its unfortunatly not completely sterilising, but does dramatically reduce the amount of virus available to be passed on. whats bizzare is we have nurses administering a treatment they themselves refuse to take. i wonder what treatments they'd they refuse if admitted? after all...

    it means no statutory limits. carehomes can still control access, not going to see hordes of people descending on carehomes. upto carehomes and visitors to be sensible, as we would expect going to such places (i.e. dont go if you have a sniffle).
