The EU said it should order vaccines collectively, now it turns out Germany has ordered an extra 30 million byt itself for its own citizens. Bet there won't be any sanctions for Germany. One rule for the big states and fuck the rest.

Religious fuckery. And given what happened to Margaret Ferrier needs the Tories to suspend the whip. But they won't because they are hypocrites.

And yet as the evidence mounts of his complete incompetence a large minority (37% on Yougov here: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/trackers/boris-johnson-approval-rating ) still choose to believe that he is doing a good job.

Astonishing to me.

The thing is that there are tons of things that could be done better without this incompetence

Germany decides against delaying Pfizer second doses:

Quote

Germany intends to stick to recommendations by BioNTech and Pfizer regarding the administration of a second dose of their Covid-19 vaccines rather than delaying it, health minister Jens Spahn said.

Germany has asked an independent expert panel for advice on whether to allow a delay in administering the second dose to make scarce supplies go further, after a similar move by Britain last week.

“My impression is that it makes a lot of sense, especially with these sensitive issues, where trust and reliability are important, that we stick to the approval,” Spahn told a news conference, adding that this was in line with the initial feedback he had received from the vaccination experts."

(Guardian live steam at 13:23)

Also the Moderna vaccine has been approved for emergency use in the EU, but quite a lot of criticism of vaccine roll-out in the various countries:

Link?

Not really sure how what any country orders relates to how much ir receives or how quickly.

You can get summary figures by postcode here

Not sure if there are general figures for who is dying produced.

Thank you. I put in BH25 but I think it then showed a map so I would be grateful if you could let me know what it shows?

It gives figures for the county. Total cases 5557. Rolling rate per 100,000 - 642.3. Above the average by about 45%

Looking at it goes to lower levels and your postcode has 28 cases, and a rolling rate of 440 per 100,000 which is bang on average

Thank you. Those figures are probably due mor to the the eastern side of Hampshire although I do not know of course, but just over the border to the west is the Christchurch/Bournemouth/Poole area so they will probably have highish numbers.
ETA that I did not see above about local cases. Many thanks for the info.

A friend phoned to say that apparently Sir Desmond Swayne, local NFW MP, is not at all pleased about the New forest area being put into tier four.
