Good news again that the R rate is falling again, is there any potential it could be fully below 1 for christmas or is that unlikely? 

I’d think it will probably stabilise as restrictions are eased in some part and maybe rise a tad in some. Keep an eye on London figures for example.

They’d have to do something as it’s concerning early signs with case figures and other factors such as triage calls to 111.

Good summary from Sky's Sam Coates of state of play in brexit talks...

hope it is just mild .... 

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, on Sky Sports F1, gives us an update about Lewis Hamilton.

"He's not great," says Wolff. "Covid-19 is always something we have to take serious. Mild conditions. He's in good hands."

If there’s more people who can do it (ie not just nurses) then the pay will be less. If they can’t recruit people at that wage then the offered wage will have to go up. 

That's a huge "if" though isn't it? Given the sheer number of people we need to do this, and it's skilled work.

Skilled work, very high demand, I would think you would offer above a regular nursing salary surely? To try and encourage people to actually sign up and do loads of extra work over Christmas?

So good of covid to swerve those high-value business folk 

They don't learn do they?? One rule for the rich another for the plebs... cos that has really worked out well from them hasn't it

I'm sure the countries they actually travel to might not be so open, but I guess money talks

Surely there's a lag between the reported R number and the actual R number?  Cases aren't actually going to be falling more quickly with restrictions loosened, despite whatever the reported R number is.  The fact that the number has gone down now is really because it dropped throughout lockdown.

Or am I talking bollocks?  I'm only 70% sure of the above!

that seems right to me ... we may also get a R number reduction under these latest restrictions ... fingers crossed on that ... but lagging ...

Think it might just be because the bottom 2 are Welsh and Scottish MPs where as the top section are English... I think.

Was talking to some colleagues today, asking what they think of the vaccine, whether they're for or against it. One of them said no, because it "makes you infertile".   "Oh, that's bad. Where did you hear that?", I ask.

That must have cost a few bucks.

Is that what they mean by herd immunity?

I'm glad you've got a new hat cos I just looked out the window and it looks like rain dear.

I'll get my coat.
