11:37 pm
more than a barefaced bride. interesting, more than a barefaced bride. it�*s interesting, a number of the papers are talking about the pandemic coming under control. in the front page of the sunday telegraph has the story about home testing replacing the 10—day self isolation for the very similar story of return to the front page of the sunday times. that goes for, sorry, that was the mail i was hoping to go to talking about foreign holidays without will come to that. the sunday times were talking about a plan for school children looking very good. yes. this tells us _ children looking very good. yes. this tells us why _ children looking very good. yes. this tells us why we _ children looking very good. is; this tells us why we suddenly got hold of 60 billion doses of pfizer vaccine last week. i was wondering where that was again. the sunday times answers the question and the idea is that it would be for children aged over 12. and they would start the vaccination programme in september. which would
11:38 pm
be when they would start going back to school. the reason for pfizer is they've actually tested in under 16. which the other vaccine companies haven't done. and also there is still there is worry about blood clots particularly with astrazeneca vaccine. great, ithink clots particularly with astrazeneca vaccine. great, i think that the are serious, if you can have the entire population vaccinated, it is our best hope of being able to stay reasonably covid free. we will always have it around like we have flew around. but nothing in the way we do now. but it is the only way forward when you think about it. when you do start opening up foreign travel, opening up the country, there is bound to be a bit of a spike. although the vaccine programme has been magnificent, we still don't have enough of the population vaccinated to be safe. so basically, when it comes vaccine the
