The conspiracy isn't a lab leak, it's the possible coverup that the US funded the research that caused the lab leak - primarily because of stupid naivete or head-in-the-sand that funding China *wouldn't* result in them doing GoF research or that the PLA *wouldn't* weaponize the research. That WIV was operating their facilities in an unsafe manner should have resulted in cutting off the funding until they fixed themselves. |

In the Swedish news program they said that this Delta variant was 3-4 times severe than the alpha variant-In other words it's 3-4 times higher chance an infected would end in the hospital. from what I know this Delta-variant is a double mutation-Whatever that means. Markus

All adults in England will be able to book a coronavirus jab from tomorrow, the health secretary says.
Scientists tracking the Covid epidemic in England say it is growing - with much of it being driven by younger people who are not yet immunised. ONS analysis shows that the risk of getting infected is highest in the first three weeks after vaccination and falls after a second jab. Covid restrictions in Wales are unlikely to be significantly relaxed until July because of the Delta variant, we understand. The Welsh NHS is under substantial pressure as services return to pre-pandemic levels, its chief executive warns. Ryanair and Manchester Airport Group have now filed a legal challenge to the UK government's travel rules. Two more regions of Russia introduce mandatory vaccinations for people in public-facing jobs. French authorities believe they are gaining control of the virus, and it is no longer compulsory to wear masks outdoors except in crowded areas. International health agencies warn many African countries face a "growing crisis" of severe oxygen shortages.

The UK now has the highest coronavirus case rate - 82.7 cases per 100,000 people - in Europe.
One month ago the picture looked rather different. Other European countries were reporting many more cases per day than the UK. But with the spread of the Delta variant, UK case numbers are rising again and as we all know, the government has delayed the lifting of restrictions by a further four weeks. Portugal is also seeing a rise in cases, but in many of our neighbouring countries cases continue to fall. France's daily figures were recently revised, but its case rate is still below the UK's and trending downward. It's hard to rank countries precisely because they count cases differently and so some countries might look slightly higher or lower if they used the UK's counting.

They make it easier to pass along, and easier to evade the immune system and continue replicating after transmission. That, assuming no mutation results in an outcompeting stain, mess that the Indian strain will very likely make covid become an endemic seasonal common cold. That's the rub - who cares how many cases of covid happen if we're already at the point that hospitalizations and deaths are miniscule because it's endemic? OC43 was believed to have caused the 1889-1890 "Russian Flu." It's now endemic - we don't care who gets it, we don't test for it, and we don't quarantine or mask for it. We don't for adenovirus or rhinovirus, nor seasonal flu. In fact, the widespread panic this past year means we'll *never* know if covid was actually as deadly as claimed. |

A single Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccine dose reduces chances of catching coronavirus and going to hospital with it by about 75%, data suggests.
First Minister Mark Drakeford confirms a delay to the easing of restrictions in Wales, saying a third wave is under way. Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he's confident restrictions in England can be eased on the new target date of 19 July. He also says he has complete confidence in Health Secretary Matt Hancock. There has been a 79% rise in cases of the Delta variant across the UK in a week. And the number of people in hospital in England with the Delta variant has doubled in a week. All adults in England can book a coronavirus jab from today - a "watershed moment", according to NHS boss Sir Simon Stevens. Israel is to provide a million Covid vaccines to the Palestinian Authority, the office of Israel's new prime minister says. London's famous Notting Hill Carnival will not go ahead on the streets for the second year running. Europe The Portuguese government has imposed a weekend travel ban on the capital Lisbon in a bid to shield the rest of the country from the spread of Covid. The Lisbon metropolitan area accounts for two-thirds of daily Covid cases - 804 were recorded in the capital yesterday. The travel ban starts at 15:00 today and lasts until 06:00 on Monday. Residents and visitors can only make essential trips in or out. The number of hospital admissions has almost doubled in the capital in three weeks. The situation in Russia’s capital Moscow is “rapidly deteriorating” according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. The head of the public health watchdog, Anna Popova, says the biggest rise in cases is among 18-49 year-olds, many of whom "have completely disregarded" Covid safety measures. Vaccinations in the city are now compulsory for 60% of service sector staff. Dutch Covid officials have recommended 1.5m (5ft) social distancing should stay in place at least until mid-August but masks will only be required on public transport and in airports after 26 June, reports say. It means by the end of the month people will be allowed to return to work - up to 50% capacity in offices - as long as the 1.5m rule is observed. France began enjoying life without masks outdoors yesterday, apart from crowded areas such as queues. "The likelihood of being in contact with someone infectious is a tenth of what is was two months ago," says epidemiologist Arnaud Fontanet. The Croatian port city of Split is welcoming its first cruise ship for nine months this morning. MSC Splendida is the first of more than 150 cruise ships due to arrive there this summer - half the number the city expects in a peak year.

The EU has lost a legal battle in Brussels to force Anglo-Swedish drug maker AstraZeneca to supply 120m doses of Covid-19 vaccine by the end of June.
It went to court last month after the company delayed shipment of the vital vaccines, having originally committed to supply 300m doses by the same date. However, the EU demand was not satisfied by the judge in Brussels. But the judge did impose deadlines on AstraZeneca to supply doses to the EU over the summer or face hefty fines. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-57531064

The Belgian court story kept me entertained today, for I chuckled about how totally opposing both sides views and comments were, with both claiming victory and that the court had confirmed their views.
But when checking the numbers, and what is known about the wording of the sentence, it dawned on me that the EU once again was juggling with words in an effort to look strong where indeed it only could claim a minor additional gain in doses for this month and following month. Super-Uschi and her deputies does what they always do: weaseling in slaloms between heavy mightily impressive word-facades. The triumphant headlines German national media were giving earlier this day, all have been removed meanwhile, it seems. I had two on mind I wanted to post - they are gone.

A new wave of infections is definitely under way in England, says Prof Adam Finn of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.
But epidemiologist Dr Mike Tildesley says he is "cautiously hopeful" hospital admissions will not be on the same scale as in January. Labour is calling for workers to have the right to work flexibly before coronavirus restrictions are fully lifted in England. Some people on furlough are avoiding a return to work because it has been "great" for them, says Tory MP Andrea Leadsom. Italy is to introduce a five-day Covid quarantine for travellers from the UK from Monday as concerns over Delta variant increase. The Palestinian Authority has cancelled a deal under which Israel was to give it one million Pfizer jabs because they were too close to expiry. Lord Lloyd Webber has rejected offer to make new show a pilot event, but says musical will abide by current social distancing measures.
