Have no idea. We don't want to go this route though. Zig Heil "As such, this constitutes one of the most dangerous policy proposals ever to be made in the history of British politics." Yep, very dangerous indeed. |

It's the weekend, it's sunny, and the crowds have been told they can go out to play: Pub and shop staff: 'Please be nice to us this weekend' wrote: "It's going to be a couple of manic days." Reopening verdict: 'It was 'buzzing, chaotic and crazy' wrote: On Monday morning, many business owners across the country nervously flipped signs from 'closed' to 'open'. Covid: Canada sounds the alarm as cases overtake US wrote: The rate of coronavirus infections in Canada's biggest province has reached an all-time high as hospitals warn they are close to being overwhelmed. Here's hoping that the UK COVID infection rate really is low enough to allow such enthusiastic playtime without the repeat spike as was seen from the Christmas shopping spree. Truly a game of shopping vs deaths? More caution needd for a more cautious opening up?... We'll have to watch the numbers carefully. The real killer still, is the 3 or 4 week delay before any increase in infections is noticed... Good luck for Canada to reverse their deadly infection surge... Stay safe folks!

Well India didn't hang around to welcome Brazil into the 14 million case clubhouse as they're already in the 15 million clubhouse clearing out the over 4 months of cobwebs and dust build up from it, but it doesn't look like that they'll spend much time in there as their daily case numbers continue to grow towards 300,000. :-O Meanwhile Honduras became the 71st member of the 200,000+ club as Azerbaijan became the 51st to join the 300,000+ club and Sweden is still collapsed in the doorway of the 900,000+ clubhouse, but they should recover soon enough to make it up to the bar eventually. |

... it's sunny, and the crowds have been told they can go out to play: What is that fabled story about Cassandra? And also Einstein's quote about repeating the same actions yet expecting/hoping for a different outcome? Yet we have developing: Covid-19: How India failed to prevent a deadly second wave wrote: In early March, India's health minister Harsh Vardhan declared the country was "in the endgame" of the Covid-19 pandemic... India coronavirus: Delhi announces lockdown as Covid cases surge wrote: ... a week-long lockdown after a record spike in cases overwhelmed the city's healthcare system... And now we have over here in the UK: Shoppers making 'revenge purchases' flock back to High Street wrote: Shoppers flocked back to the High Street last week to treat themselves after non-essential stores reopened in England and Wales... And as we've repeatedly seen for this worldwide pandemic, the real killer is that the reported increases in infection rates only become apparent three or more weeks after the real world increase in the spreading of infections, with the politics then responding weeks later and deadly woefully too late... More caution needed? More gradual 'opening up' with smaller more cautious steps?... Stay safe folks!

The world's total case tally has now passed 142.7 million as deaths passed 3,043,200. :-( By the end of the last reporting period the only change at the upper end of the death list was Hungary replacing Chile in 22nd place so let's get onto the case list. P.N.G. has rocketed up to 150th place now (has anyone heard anything about those 1st million doses of that Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine that we redirected there yet? Me either), Mongolia has also been on a charge flying up to 122nd while Madagascar replaced Sudan in 114th, Thailand sprinted past Senegal and Uganda into 109th as Kyrgyzstan claimed 92nd from Ghana, but not before Cuba took 91st from them, Bahrain passed Nigeria and then Uruguay came along to snatch 77th from them both. Ethiopia took 63rd spot from Denmark and now have Ireland within their sights, Paraguay relieved Moldova of 60th as even though Tunisia passed Nepal they remain in 55th because Kazakhstan passed both including Bolivia to take over 53rd, Malaysia dumped Slovakia from 44th while Canada swept past Chile into 22nd, Indonesia deprived Czechia of 18th and Argentina blew Poland out of 11th place. Meanwhile things are doing ok here down under so far with quarantine free travel now happening both ways with our Kiwi cousins across the ditch and there's some more good news.

... it's sunny, and the crowds have been told they can go out to play: How many 'Cassandras' are going to be ignored?... Covid: Government scientist warns of summer surge in cases wrote: The UK is likely to see a "summer surge" in Covid cases as lockdown is relaxed, a government scientist says. So the UK politics are that we are going to blunder into another deadly surge/wave of our own making regardless?... Except this time round, we have more than enough experience to know how to avoid any such further deadly 'surges'... Instead, and far more healthy, go for a more gradual 'opening up' with smaller more cautious steps?... Stay safe folks!

Well India has set a new daily case record of 315,728 as they're about to transition from the 15 million clubhouse to the 16 million job while Brazil has entered the 14 million club as Iraq became the 25th member 1 million club, Austria became the 37th to join the 600,000+ club and the U.A.E. was the 41st to enter the 500,000+ clubhouse. |

Even though this reporting period isn't over as yet the world itself has now set a new daily case record of at least 854,030. :-O |

Well India has set a new daily case record ... And still developing deadly badly: Covid: India sees world's highest daily cases amid oxygen shortage wrote: India has recorded the highest one-day tally of new Covid-19 cases anywhere in the world - and the country's highest number of deaths over 24 hours. How can politics be pushed so rabidly when so deadly to healthy good sense?! Stay safe folks!

Will the politics and the ignorant take heed? Vaccines alone will not stop Covid spreading - here's why wrote: ... scientists say jabs alone will not currently be enough and other measures are still needed. Stay safe folks!

India has yet again set another new daily case record with 332,503 this time as they charged into 16 million clubhouse. :-O |

Ouch, mega ouch :-( Edit to add: I caught something on the radio today where a person working in India thought that the figures, bad as they are, are actually below the real situation as so many people in India are not actually registered, so they can't be ill or die because officially they haven't been born.

The world's total case tally has now passed 146.2 million as deaths pass 3.1 million. :-( At the end of the last reporting period India had set a new daily case record of 345,147 and when Sweden wakes up to get their numbers in could see the world's daily case numbers pass 900,000 for the 1st time. :-O The only change at the top end of the death list was the Netherlands replacing Portugal in 27th place so it's onto the case list. Mongolia flew over Rwanda, Angola and the Maldives to land in 119th place, Madagascar nudged Malawi out of the way to claim 113th while Thailand put in a mighty leap to pass Jamaica, the Ivory Coast, Botswana and Namibia to take over 105th, Cyprus took 103rd from Afghanistan as Cuba knocked Montenegro out of 90th, Uruguay blasted Libya from 76th and Costa Rica replaced Slovenia in 66th spot. Denmark passed Ireland to claim 63rd spot after Ethiopia jumped over Ireland and Moldova to take over 61st, Kuwait shoved the Dominican Republic out of 58th as Tunisia and Nepal both passed Bolivia to claim 54th and 55th respectively, Ecuador took 46th from Panama while the Philippines kicked Belgium from 26th, Iran took 14th from Mexico and Turkey blew the U.K. out of 6th place. Meanwhile here down under we've cut back on the number of Australians returning from India by 30% due to the high numbers of them coming back infected with the virus and creating problems with our quarantine services. So much for our P.M.'s promise on having everyone home by last Xmas, but you can't expect much from a man who continually sits on his hands while towing the right wing line. :-( |

India has done it yet again at recording another record breaking daily case count of 349,313. :-O Meanwhile P.N.G. became the 150th country to pass 10,000 cases (that we know of) and the 154th to pass 100 deaths (again that we know of) as Australia urges AstraZeneca to send 1 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to PNG after EU clearance yet again. But then again there are still Covidiots out there and this lot should be locked up to protect others from their dangerous stupidity, Florida family indicted for selling toxic bleach as fake Covid ‘cure’, obviously these idiots must still be listening to that crazy sicko Donny. :-( A federal grand jury in Miami has indicted a Florida man and his three sons for fraudulently marketing and selling a toxic industrial bleach as a supposed cure for Covid-19, cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, autism, malaria, hepatitis, Parkinson’s, herpes, HIV/Aids, and a range of other medical disorders. |

Good news on disease that kills 400,000 people each year. Malaria vaccine from Oxford covid-19 team is most effective ever made A malaria vaccine shown to be 77 per cent effective in trials – the highest level ever achieved – offers hope of controlling a disease that kills an estimated 400,000 people each year, many of them children. |

Very good news! For the next developments: Do we next see a new Industrial Revolution across Africa and positive development onwards to leave behind in history the old deadly ways of tribalism and corruption? Might this be a new dawn for Africa? Add some Edinburgh doctors?... Stay safe folks!

...Psst...so much for tribalism. :-) And that is an unfortunate ambiguity of English... For this example, the intended meaning is that of medical doctors that happened to operate in a particular hospital who gained good results that they publicised to other medics. And the rest is history... Stay safe folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |
