    The difference is that we will let them in but they won't let us in. Easy!

    Oh come on! Since when has the USA been fair or just in its foreign policy, or its treatment of non-US people?

    This has been the Telegraph's narrative from the start. As they are behind a paywall, I wonder if they have actual evidence to back up their claims this time? They usually fall short on that.

    The Grauniad is a well-known centrist newspaper. There aren't many centrist/"left wing" news outlet on account of the fact alt-right billionaires pushing their own agendas tend to acquire news outlets.

    It is no more centrist than the Telegraph is. You probably see it that way because it reflects your opinions.

    If the guardian isn't left wing then the telegraph isn't right wing.

    saw that a few days ago, it was leaked before it was published

    very good presentation, maybe it is what is needed to shock americans into having that Jab, I saw on Foxorlando last night the queues of cars waiting for a jab, seems central fla has decided to get jabbed again

    Re: Coronavirus update

    Drakeford said he hoped 85% of adults would be double jabbed by 7th of August but it had been looking like it would be high 83% and now looking more likely to be low 83% instead.

    So far we've ruled out incentives for vaccines in Wales but at some point conversation needed about how to reach out to more people.

    Might be interesting to note what England was in terms of vaccines on 19th of July (87.5% first doses and 68.2% second doses) and update with Wales on, fingers crossed, 7th of August and Scotland on 9th of August. Will be interesting to see if higher vaccines percentages will prevent "pingdemic" happening.

    Will also be interesting to see how Wales goes about following Scotland in using ventilation & CO2 monitors in schools (and other enclosed locations).

    And how UK manages to step up support for rest of the world. https://twitter.com/peoplesvaccine calling for "vaccines be freely available to everyone, everywhere", my words now, rather than waiting til they're almost out of date before getting them to developing nations as reported by Will Brown who covers across Africa for The Telegraph.

    Ventilation is the key thing in schools. We can't have any more disruption to these kids' education. 4 in 25 not being vaccinated is a terrible stat, and reflects badly on people rather than Government. Uptake is, by all accounts, lower among those who are unemployed or on long-term benefits. Maybe chucking on a few graphic adverts during day-time TV will prompt some to see sense.

    I saw a report this morning that 2 weeks after unlock in England when they expected numbers to start rising again they in fact appear to be going down.
    But unlocking was still a reckless thing to do.
