Rugby's doubled in the past week, say the Coventry Telegraph.

Mind you, they also say it's in North Warwickshire...

Seems a bit of a non event:

Playing down any problems at ports but then saying not to travel to ports.
500K have had their first jab, new variant will not change vaccine priority groups.
Any changes to tiers will be evidence based.
Social distancing more important than ever and people must follow the rules.
Schools to go back as planned with a staggered start.
And having previously said 'back to normal' by summer and then Christmas Johnson, is now saying Easter.

The difference is now we know how many vaccines we have and need to administer to those in vulnerable and essential categories. Simply do them as quickly as humanly possible until you cover enough people to nearly eliminate hospitalisations. So in theory they should have a much better idea of when that threshold will be met

I wonder if they’ll televise the charity event for the third world plague infested island floating off the coast of France. Will Bono release a charity single for us?

So many questions....

He was going to but JRM thinks it's outrageous and appaling and we don't need help, so he's Banned Aid.

Do you understand what benchmarking is?

You take someone else's position who has expertise and success at what you want to achieve and use it as a baseline for your own efforts, then look to improve on it.

They still get my respect for admitting publicly they're wrong and a few people resigning.
Over here they'd just get their mates in the media to try and put a positive spin on what a great job they'd done and send Farage and a daily mail photographer down to Dover to get some pictures of him pointing at dinghies

Speaking of test and trace I see they're now reaching 92% of contacts. Not at all related to changing the counting method.
Test and Trace suddenly hits 92% of contacts after big change to counting method.

The privatised Test and Trace system is suddenly reaching 92% of coronavirus contacts after a major change to how the figures are counted.

The service, run by outsourcing giants Serco and Sitel, claimed to reach 92.7% of close contacts of people with coronavirus in the week to December 9.

Always thought at the beginning of this there was no right answer, so our approach can't really be criticised either. What we haven't done is learned, or planned, or adapted...

Anyway, got a Tesco order(!) turning up today. Wonder how much of it will actually turn up...

You can't drill into someone's head ideas if they think there stupid, us and the US are the least obedient people in the world, we like to moan at everything rebel at everything, the one and only thing we could of took from them would of been track and trace but why when ours is fine?
