Moderna have hit the event rate for their first interim readout.
No clear timeline for results, but I would guess days rather than weeks given the urgency
My understanding is that Moderna have very similar technology to Pfizer. The AstraZeneca one, also expected soon, is different.

Just like the Giro, the Strictly “bubble” is starting to look distinctly shaky. The Giro, 3 weeks duration, just about got away with it. Not sure that Strictly is going to be so lucky.

Luck or care? The Vuelta with its "TdF++" restrictions got a bubble of nearly 700 through almost unscathed. So it can be done with smart measures (contactless sign-in, masks and barriers to keep distances at interviews, ...) and discipline!

Yes, same in East Anglia. R is now 1.2ish here (the UK figure is flattered by everywhere else having locked down before England) and we're only a week and a bit into this lockdown so even if it has worked and R goes below 1 soon, there will be almost another week of increasing hospitalisations and another of increasing deaths. If, as some fear, the vaccine news made people "demob-happy" and lower their guard for a few days, then it will take longer than that.

I *think* I'm right in saying that the Grand Tours attempted true bubbles i.e. the whole race circus tried to stay isolated from civilians. The riders only raced, then hung out with their team.
Whereas the BBC use the more general term - so half the group can have a life outside of Strictly
We are using two approaches to bring our 12 Strictly couples together.
The first is the creation of Bubbles. Each couple has formed a support bubble. Meaning, one half of the bubble is a single adult household living alone, while the other half may remain with their household. This means they are permitted to have close contact with one another. The bubbles are exclusive and the couples are not able to form other bubbles with anyone else whilst they are in the competition. Each couple will follow Government guidelines on social distancing with anyone who is not in their household or support bubble. They were all tested twice before forming their bubbles.

Not really a full summary of the optimistic interview IMO but you could see for yourself in a bit under 2h in the repeat on BBC Parliament

US study https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2923-3 suggests that restaurants are the peak spreader there, while https://www.rtbf.be/info/societe/de...les-de-contamination-selon-l-aviq?id=10608993 claims it is families, schools and friends who are the main spreaders in Belgium.
Anyone know what's currently believed to be spreading it in the UK?
