“significant consequences on people’s personal freedoms, the local and national economy, our jobs, our High Streets and people’s social and mental health.”

Oh dear. Not to them, then? only on them.

I would have said ‘for’, meself.
Is ‘this dreadful virus’ attaining the same epithetic status as ‘sadly died’, d’you think?

There are perfectly good reasons why some people cannot wear masks. Funny how many of them are couples, though.
Oh, and if you are not wearing a mask but are accompanied by unruly small children, please revert to the good old clip round the lug’ole rather than shouting at them, to reduce the risk of aerosol transmission.
Then wash their heads.

Even if you genuinely can’t wear a mask, that doesn’t make you magically unable to pass on the disease. So bog off home until the Plague Transfer Hour, eh?

My brother, bless him, is pleased about the information that the paper discussing results of the tests for the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, which is coming to the end of trials, has gone out for peer review pre-publication (as so it damn well should, all papers should be properly peer reviewed!), which to his mind makes it seem likely that there’s something there worth having; his experience in the business leads him to believe that they don’t rush papers for peer review if what they have to say amounts to “nothing to see here, move along.”

Since he may be the most pessimistic person I know – my mother in her capacity as Cassandra, also ran – then if he is being optimistic, it might even be worth wondering whether they may be able to get out a working vaccine by Easter.

Incidentally,it amuses me mightily that in every newspaper story about the vaccines there is a stock picture of a syringe sitting in front of three small bottles of straw-coloured liquid, which are clearly marked, in black on a white label with the blue rim: “COVID 19 VACCINE”.

I doubt very much indeed that any such label would be found on any real vaccine. More likely “AZD1222”.
