On a serious note, grim. Fuck this virus.

The Times are no fans of Boris or this Government but then not many journalists like Boris. They know him better than the general public. 

The right leaning press aren't afraid of getting on his case because they know he's on borrowed time. Cameron never got anywhere near the scrutiny from them because he was a dyed in the wool Tory who absolutely towed the party line. Johnson is a maverick and they know he's heading for disaster and the loveable rogue angle is dying a death. Its pure shit-house behaviour. On and on and on.

Boris is a sex addict pure and simple, probably the first ever addict to be elected to high office in Western Europe. A constant pattern throughout his life of destructive behaviour and risk taking in pursuit of sex and female approval. Only an addict would, think he could cheat on his pregnant girlfriend whilst having 24 hour police protection following him everywhere. It will be his undoing eventually but he is relying on the super injunction to keep it out of the press. 

I think Adolf might have a few things to say about that.

I mean The Times did endorse Johnson and the Tories at the last GE (astonishingly with the justification that they didn't know what he'd do if he won, so, er, why not?). It's true they've started to turn against him a little lately, but let's not forget that an opinion writer was canned only a couple of months ago for being too critical of him.

What are you putting it down to, the virus dying out? Personally I'm going with lockdowns of varying degrees. I'm aware you won't. 

Wonder that effect, if any, half term has had? And would we see that filtering through around now?

 

Another three members of staff tested positive in my daughters school the end of last week after they went back so they’re extremely short staffed resulting in her only being in Monday and Tuesday this week and off the rest of the week, and next week she’s off Monday and Tuesday and in the rest of the week.
 

They expect this to go on until December they said! Meaning my wife is having to take time off work unpaid to look after her.

Covid-19 vaccine candidate is 90% effective, says manufacturer

Interim analysis of vaccine by Pfizer/BioNTech far exceeds expectations of most experts

A vaccine against Covid-19 is in sight, with the announcement of the first interim results in large-scale trials showing the Pfizer/BioNTech candidate is 90% effective, according to the manufacturers, whose analysis shows a much better performance than most experts had hoped for.

The high percentage of those protected makes the findings compelling. Regulators have said they would approve a vaccine that is just 50% effective – protecting half those who get it. The company says there are no serious side-effects.

“Today is a great day for science and humanity. The first set of results from our Phase 3 Covid-19 vaccine trial provides the initial evidence of our vaccine’s ability to prevent Covid-19,” said Dr Albert Bourla, Pfizer chairman and CEO.

“We are reaching this critical milestone in our vaccine development program at a time when the world needs it most with infection rates setting new records, hospitals nearing over-capacity and economies struggling to reopen.”

The trial will continue until there have been 164 confirmed cases so there is potential for the efficacy rate to change, but a finding that 90% of infections were prevented will excite politicians and public health leaders alike and brings into view a potential end to the pandemic.

The phase 3 trials have involved more than 43,000 people. People from black and ethnic minority backgrounds appear to have been as well protected as everyone else, the company says.

Gathering the required safety data will take until the third week of November, says the company. The dossier will then be submitted to the regulators for approval. Speedy licensing could mean the first doses in healthcare workers by the end of the year.
