    If you can watch all of this.

    If you can't watch the segment from 2:21 and the segment from 4:00.

    And try and watch the 'Despair' segment at 10:33.

    I wonder why China has blocked WHO entering the Wuhan labs?

    Right now I would imagine they would be stopping anyone crossing their borders.

    Specifically the reason is this.

    Carol Monaghan SNP Spokesman today asking exactly this question in the house of commons regards vaccinating teachers and reopening schools in a way that will be safe for all and reopened with confidence.

    Making the specific point that sick members of staff infected with Covid puts huge additional strain on the remaining teachers, my daughter is already experiencing this as she has members of her department off and is having to pick up their lessons.

    I would of thought in the continued battle to beat Covid nations would pull together in particular a nation that was the origin and one that appears to the outside world be on top of the disease.

    has everyone forgotten the first lockdown started as we were heading into spring / summer.
    now--its heading into the real winter..and the numbers are stacking up.

    The lockdowns have also been suppressing influenza thankfully.

    For the next few days you are going to get irregular reporting of deaths as the reporting catches up from Christmas and New Year.

    Yes it is going to get worse the deaths for the next 4 to 6 weeks are already locked in, and remember you have to die fast to get counted, take too long more than 28 days and it wasn't Covid that killed you according to our lords and masters.

    Deaths will probably keep going up for at least 4 weeks, then you will start to see some impact from the current lockdown, hopefully if people are complying we will see infection cases start to drop within the next 10 days, if they don't comply then this is going to be a very long haul.

    Mid Feb is unrealistic to get the schools back, the end of Feb is only 7.5 weeks away, we might be coming out of it at the end of April but that is going to rely on a lot of luck.

    Whoooa... Hang on to your hats down south.

    Meantime, yesterday a relatively local surgery was announcing that they were about to contact 75 to 79 yo for their first jab. A race against time indeed.
