"I had my Covid antibody test this morning. Managed to get a flu jab while I was there. Superdrug nurse told me the demand for flu jabs has never been higher than right now."

"How did you get an antibody test? Thought you had to be a front line health worker for that??"

"On Superdrug’s website. The website stated they’d sold out of flu jabs but when I mentioned that to the nurse today she said she had a stock just arrived in. It was a very good service."

Deaths in Wales, Scotland and NI well up today. 29 in total vs 5 last week.

Record new cases in NI as well (getting close to Scotland's numbers).

We need to go for zero-COVID. This continual ease, lock down, ease, lock down.  It’s absurd. 

That ship sailed about 6 months ago, if it was ever viable in the UK at all.

That’s the nub of the whole problem. That list of the people running it is phenomenal.

 

“Among the board members of England’s test and trace team are four from private industry (Jaguar, Waitrose, TalkTalk, Travelex), a spymaster from GCHQ, an infectious disease epidemiologist from Public Health England, management consultants, civil servants and administrators. But there is only one public health expert, no data scientist, GP or nurse, no social or behavioural scientist, community mobilisation expert, virologist, local politician or NHS logistician.”

We definitely seemed to have it relatively 'easy' (obviously nothing easy about covid but you know what I mean) in the first lockdown in terms of case numbers/deaths, etc so I imagine that is playing a bit of a role in why we are getting it so bad this time.

I remember seeing recently NI cases per 100k which looks bad, but should not be caveated that you’re a fairly small country anyway?
