I have just been watching the World News and it seems this conrovirus is spreading rapidly around the world France has said that two people in France are contacting it every second and are tightening restrictions.The WHO has said that countries that are pushing ahead with third doses are ‘selfish’ as there are many country around the world that cannot give their people a first dose yet.
This make me wonder. Does BJ really care how many of his people are struck down as he has more or less told the country to carry on a usual instead of bringing in restrictions in one form or another. This wave may not be as lethal as the Delta but people are still being hospitlised, People are still dying. More and more NHS workers are going down with it.
Come on Boris, Get a grip!!
Oh, that poor couple. Every second! That can’t be much fun.
No it,s not fun and was never meant to be but that is what the French health spokesman said. Sorry I should have been proper and said spokesperson.
But who cares as long as we can have our ‘illgal parties’. .
I think he just believes its a “bad cold” and nobody is dying with it, so “tally ho, lets go” 
Because he doesn’t really care, not at all.
How long did it take to develop a vaccine for polio?
Researchers began working on a polio vaccine in the 1930s, but early attempts were unsuccessful. An effective vaccine didn’t come around until 1953, when Jonas Salk introduced his inactivated polio vaccine

Creating a vaccine in under 1 year is no small feat. While the coronavirus pandemic made a new normal of mask-wearing and physical distancing, …
When the Covid-19 vaccine was created, it was tested on volunteers. They didn’t have the advantage of time to perfect and test again and again or discover how long the vaccine gave immunity. The situation with Covid-19 was instant by comparison and the need to create a vaccine was immediate and absolutely essential. There was no time to see how long immunity would last and develop another vaccine which would/could provide immunity for a llifetime. A vaccine which could save lives … and more importantly - not overrun the existing health providers - which was/is a far more important factor politically - was absolutely essential. So anything which would provide a delay to hospitalisation and death was more important than testing for lifelong immunity…and THAT is the reason a further booster is on it’s way. The scientific community have done their best but it could be another 20 years before just one vaccination will provide lifelong immunity.
Yes, you make a good point, LL.
Polio took a while to conquer, but we were successful.
We have not been fighting Covid for anything like as long, but I think… and I hope… that we have at last found the answer, and I believe that at this stage we need not worry about repeated boosters year on year.
If I’m proved wrong, then I’ll eat my words.
I’ll be getting a booster top-up in a couple of weeks.
More Tory “favouritism”:
Mr Fox recommended SureScreen Diagnostics to Mr Hancock in 2020, an email seen by campaign group Good Law Project and the BBC shows. The company went on to win a £500m contract to provide tests without facing competition.
A director of the Derbyshire-based firm emailed Mr Fox in June 2020 to say that they were sending millions of antibody tests for use in hospitals in Germany, Spain and Sweden.
Mr Fox immediately forwarded SureScreen’s email to Mr Hancock, telling the then health secretary: “I don’t think the British people would understand or approve of the widespread export of this capability when we will have a huge need at home.”
This email was obtained by the Good Law Project through a Freedom of Information request.
It is not clear what resulted from Mr Fox’s intervention over the antibody tests but seven months later the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) directly awarded SureScreen a contract worth £500m to supply a different type of antigen test, which shows current infection.
According to its parent company’s most recent set of accounts, SureScreen Diagnostics posted profits before tax of £67.2m for the year ending May 2021.
That is 75 times higher than the figure for the previous year.
The Good Law Project, which has sued the government over its use of emergency powers to make deals with firms without opening them to competition, said the donation raised questions.
“How many times do corporates need to give money to Tory MPs after getting help winning vast public contracts before concluding we have a cash for contracts problem,” the Project’s executive director Jolyon Maugham said. “We know perfectly well what we’d call conduct like this if we saw it happening in another country.”
The donation is listed in the latest update of the register of members’ interests for Mr Fox, who represents North Somerset and served as international trade secretary and defence secretary before returning to the back benches in 2019.
Sheer coincidence … 
Hi
I thought everybody knew that already.
They work for themselves, nobody else at all and Boris is the best example of this.
He is already planning his return to his wallpaper
