HOLIDAY SEASON AUTUMN-WINTER 2021

It’s back!

COVID-19 Variant of Delta Variant October 2021 UK

CORONAVIRUS BLOG HAS RETURNED a little bit.

Let’s face it…..a whole bunch of variants have come in the last six months (sorry, I was otherwise detained by the NHS) and now in the UK, we have a higher infection rate than in the last lockdown plus deaths in the 100-250/day region. Vaccinations are in the only OK level after a terrific start. Tis good to see that vaccination numbers in the rest of Europe have got better than the UK after a really slow start…meanwhile South America, India and Russia (with today a record number of infections) while still having relatively low numbers of deaths and infections per population size still have huge presence of Covid, and new variants are springing up every day.

There are calls in the UK today for Vaccine Passports and for everybody (from 12 years old up) to be AT LEAST double vaccinated. New Health boss Sajid Javid has forced Social Care staff to be double jabbed at least, and wants everyone in the NHS to have jabs made mandatory.

So what is next, worldwide? Are we in for a Sajid Covid 2022?

According to the Guardian today, wu=ith USA Brazil India Mexico Russia and the UK being the “hardest hit” by Covid, we in the UK are only now in the middle of the vaccinations/population table…with Spain and Italy above us. Anti-vaccine protests around the World still cause great splits in vaccine uptake, particularly in the US and Russia, while China has today authorised children from 3 years old to get jabbed. The Beijing Marathon has been postponed, and the US is preparing jabs for the 5 - 11 year olds to be run out before Christmas.

In addition, Pharma company Merck is getting authorisation to sell its “Covid Pill” which will treat people with Covid reducing symptoms and speeding up recovery….having a two pronged attack could be the answer to treating something which just ain’t going away, honey.

That’s all for now, folks…please comment if you fancy!
