    “Technical difficulties”

    Either that, or they’re really bad.

    This does not make sense. Taking a Covid test prior to travelling to the UK has been pushed back from this week to next Monday. This on top of Johnson not being able to give a straight answer to what action is being taken to stop the Brazilian variant entering the UK. When asked, by Yvette Cooper, all he would say was “We have steps in place”. When asked what those steps are - nothing, no response other to repeat “We have steps in place”.

    This report is about the delay in the need to test prior to coming here.

    Number of new cases falls again then. Let’s hope we’ve peaked.

    Hopefully deaths will start to level off and fall, probably in 2-3 weeks time
    Until then, the media will whip up a frenzy without considering the logic and facts.

    Fingers crossed. Probably take another couple of weeks for hospital admissions and deaths to fall but I'm confident it won't look anywhere near as bad by the end of February.

    Let’s hope so.

    Though as we know one swallow doesn’t make a summer.

    I know, since when have I been glass half empty....

    Buy a **** load of booze and drink it all in one evening with your nose constantly in a bag.

    The self loathing and disgust you will feel over the next few days after will put you off drinking for awhile

    France has a real problem. Distrust of government runs very deep there, and I suppose that now leads to a distrust of science when it's endorsed by government.

    It is not too difficult to be disillusioned with the way most politicians have handled this epidemic yet there have been two issues which have really stood out for me this week as being a prime example of this. The first is the ban on flights to the UK. Whilst this is totally sensible, it is staggering to that we had not done this earlier. The media seems to be looking at this purely from the basis of new strains being brought in to the country and the government is being heralded as taking the correct action. However, everyone seems to have totally missed the point that this is a double -edged sword. More significantly that preventing any new strains entering the UK, keeping the airports open has allowed the strain that originated in Kent to be exported around the globe. No one seems to have picked up on this and I have not heard any other countries voice criticism of the UK for the cavalier manner in which we have allowed this to happen. People have been quick to pick Boris off for the fashion in which the management of Covid has been managed in the UK yet no one seems to have picked up on the fact that this negligence has now manifested itself globally.

    The other point I have been staggered to see where there has been a distinct lack of joined up thinking concerns the situation in China which everyone seems to be overlooking. Whilst the size of the current resurgence in China is small and they are one of the countries which have produced their own vaccine, I have not seen anyone mentioned the fact that research from Brazil has shown this vaccine to be only 50.4% effective. Given the size of the population in China, the possibility of the outbreak getting out of control over there and the potential for further strains to develop in the country should surely be a major concern for the rest of the world. The one thing that this pandemic has shown is the inability of world leaders to work together. If anything, it has also exposed cultural differences not only in behavior but also in willingness to take up the vaccine. Unless there is a cultural shift away from "wet markets" and state secrecy, I can see China continuing to be a source of major epidemics as has been seen with the likes of SARS, Bird flu and Covid. If you then consider the obstructions put up by the Chinese with regard to the WHO inspection team visit, you can only conclude that lessons have not been learned.

    Taking these issues a step further, there is a lack of recognition by all governments that this is a global and not a national issue and that the world is only as strong as the weakest link in the chain. It is in everyone's interest that the world's governments arrive at a proactive and rational consensus do this - something we have not seen on China nor in the actions of Boris regarding the airports.
