Test and not Trace
at 08:25 5 Mar 2021

£37 *billion* on #COVID19 #TestandTrace and it’s never fully worked.
That money pay the salaries of a whopping 1,147,000 nurses and health visitors for a year.

Interesting budget point from yesterday
at 10:57 4 Mar 2021

Freezing things for a long time makes a big difference. Since 2010 there has been a doubling of the number of people, to almost 500,000, paying the additional 45% rate of income tax. That's because it has kicked in at £150k for that whole period.

Subtle changes like this can be found throughout the various tax changes made over the last 5 years.

"He did the best job he could do with the players he had"
at 14:53 1 Mar 2021

Really? Did he?

The club is really an absolute mess. What does he expect the new man to do without a transfer window then?

Does O'Neill have a job in the new regime?
at 11:38 1 Mar 2021

Or would he go along with Evans?

He seems uniquely under-qualified for many of the roles he appears to being asked to do? Some clearly not his fault at all, but where would he fit in?

He's not a DoF, he's not a CEO or COO?

McConnell support a Trump 2024 campaign
at 12:29 26 Feb 2021

McConnell would support the man who sent a mob to the Capitol (which he admitted) and who would have been quite happy to kill the VP and senior members of Congress (including McConnell).

And they still say it isn't a cult...

JUST NOW: ""I don't even know what to say anymore... I don't even know how to rationalize that."

More good news on Covid vaccines
at 11:36 26 Feb 2021

Israel: Vaccines may reduce infections by 88%

Key in this study by the national covid center, is use of **routine testing** of nursery home workers, thus less biases

Based on 8300 vaxed and 2600 non-vaxed workers under 65 y/o

Note lower rise in vaxed 7-10 days after 2nd dose pic.twitter.com/68mKv5Sa3i

Phil & Watson have spoke to Lambert since his Evans meeting
at 09:40 26 Feb 2021

Appears we are stuck for a while longer...

Asked how their meeting had gone, Lambert - speaking ahead of tomorrow's home clash with Doncaster Rovers - said: "It was just what it is. Unfortunately for you guys these talks are not as interesting as what you might think they are. Marcus had his say, I had my say. Yeah... They're not interesting at all."

Today it was “nonce”, which is a genuine word when talking about blockchain.

Anyone else used a word in a genuine context that looks very much ‘wrong’?

Astonishing statistic and a real failure in the EU.

There will be at least five weeks between each step - four weeks to acquire data on its impact, and a week to give people notice of what is happening next.
