This can't be right. This is the Tories were talking about.

What the EU procurement furore tells us about Johnson's real priorities

Well considering we reported 980 at the peak - about 800 at the weekend I was expecting a downward trend. I am aware of the lags - but that's the same for any day - accept perhaps the weekend.

But the lags differ for each patient, some are confirmed quickly and some aren’t. Believe me, I know, as sadly I’m submitting a multitude of the figures daily. What I’m saying is 7 day periods give a better idea of the trend, which currently seems flattened, maybe dropping very slightly, fingers crossed

Not saying it’s right that we did not sign up to it. But BBC did slip in to the reporting last night. That none of the goods ordered weeks ago have even arrived.
Not joining in is not why we are in the mess we are. It’s too simple to blame this but then it’s nice and simple reporting and quick way to sell papers.

On the 8 o'clock news tonight the Paul Ehrlich institute has been given approval to start human trials of a possible vaccine, and the intention is to commence by the end of April. These are the people who oversee the actual laboratory developing the vaccine and the possible side effects it may have.

Some 200 healthy people will bravely volunteer for this.

Oxford University are recruiting volunteers for testing the vaccine they have been working on.

It looks as if scientists all around the world are making similar progress, hopefully.

imperial college LONDON doing trials as well.

Wonder if they will follow Salk and give it away for free as gift to humanity?
Some how I can't see that happening sadly.

I fully get what you saying - what I am saying is that one days lag is going to be similar to another days lag (except weekends) . Like this week, Tuesdays and Wednesdays figures are similar - I thought that both on those days would be lower than what now seems like the uk average of 750-800

No one thought it would be Imperial College Odisha, although you wouldn't be completely surprised if Hancock had commissioned them by mistake.

As if by magic, Whitty showed a 7 day moving average graph at today's briefing.

Are the various teams following the same approach or have they looking at alternative possible solutions?

We are broadly following the same pattern as in Italy, but are 3 weeks behind. They are now averaging 450/500 deaths per day.

Well that's Mrs 73 seen off on her 1st rapid response shift. In at the deep end on Covid respiratory unit let's hope she won't need her ventilator skills or even more so her palliative care ones.
Stay safe everyone and keep her and 1000's of others safe too.

Best wishes to Mrs 73, doing a fantastic job on the frontline, like so many currently.

We need to have some sort of parliament. But trying to have a parliament running more or less the same as we’ve always done it. As if nothing really is wrong feels like a complete joke.
Saying that it was a joke before just now they can't hide the fact.
