using general practitioners as tired of vaccination teens for example and then bringing those old people to the vaccination sent those which doesn't work unfortunately at the moment in terms of testing what do you make of the government's strategy you say you post testing would be a good idea but in this in a case where you have 20000 new infections on a daily basis is it even possible that does testing help in that situation. of course because testing is our only chance to interrupt infection chains and at the moment we only test basically people who wistrom symptoms but we don't test those people who did have. only mild symptoms or even our just like contact person to a symptomatic co with 1000 patients so basically we need to scale this part and with a new record and eugene tests there would be a possibility for everyone to do such tests on their own but this is not allowed to german law it's a moment and read needs to be changed to have a sufficient public health screening you say that german government should impose even tougher restrictions what sort of restrictions are you talking

doctor liam fox, general practitioner and also from international trade secretary, thank you very muchws. a man has been charged after a suspicious package was sent to a coronavirus vaccine production site in north wales. the factory in wrexham was evacuated and production of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine stopped on wednesday. police say the item was not a viable device. anthony collins from chatham in kent, was arrested on thursday. germany and france have tightened their border controls, over fears new coronavirus variants might spread in europe. berlin says most visitors from britain, ireland, portugal, brazil and south africa will be banned from saturday. most non—eu nationals will be excluded from france from sunday. the european union remains opposed to a blanket travel ban. today is the anniversary of the world health organization first declaring the covid—19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. its director—general, tedros adhanom ghebreyesus, has warned countries against �*vaccine nationalism', saying drugs should be prioritised for use for those most

the royal college of general practitioners has even requested that these communities be prioritized forccine roll-out. will the prime minister finally recognize that this disparity is as a result of structural racism, and can he outline what his government are doing to address the issue? p.m. johnson: i don't agree with her last point, but she makes a very important point about the need to reach hard-to-reach groups in society. that is why it is so important that the vaccine roll-out is not just conducted by the nhs, the army, pharmacies and volunteers, but in co-ordination with local government at all levels, because it is local government that will know where we need to go, as i am sure she would understand, to ensure that we reach those groups we must vaccinate and who may be a little bit vaccine hesitant, as the jargon has it. >> let's head to stafford with theo clarke. >> thank you mr. speaker. over the last week, there has been yet again very significant flooding in stafford. unfortunately, my constituents in penkridge, central stafford and bishops wood are regularly experiencing

as you say, robin, i work in the community as a general practitioner, a family physician.ht from the outset, my whole world has been turned upside down, but not as people might expect by having to deal with the virus. i've had some patients deal with the virus. i've had quite a few patients -- virus -- all of my patients lives have been turned upside down by restriction. what i wanted to highlight in this book is the way that our lives have been so dominated, not by the virus itself, but what we have had to do to control the virus. in terms of mental health, it's doing terrible the rise in mental health problems, alcoholism, panic attack, self-harm, this year has been very, very difficult from that point of view. >> how do you manage that? you write about how the pandemic is changing medicine for family doctors like you. you're into pastoral care i suppose on the ground there. so what has been the most difficult part of this? >> well, you know, in medicine, we're taught to always see the patient, always examine the patient. it's important to feel like you're doing a good p

in the last hour, i spoke to chair of the british medical association's general practitioners committeeblems the decision was creating. take a listen. >> our key concern is the practicality of doing this, so quickly. we were only told, in the last day, that we were expected next monday to rechange all of the appointments we made next week. so, all of the elderly patients in their 80s, 90, some over 100, were going to be cancelled. and we have to rebook many more patients into those slots. it was simply not practical for our staff to do that in such short space of time. so, commitments we have made to our elderly patients to give their second vaccine to be honored, certainly in the next few days so we can focus on protecting them properly. but also, then, look at the information chief-medical officers have provided around the reasons for the 12-week gap between vaccines. so that we can, then provide that information to our patients for the future. >> let me ask you about the pfizer vaccine, in particular. because, you know, for a while, we have been talking about the fact that it's more

for some people, going to their general practitioner, their family doctor, is the easiest place. for other people it might mean going to a local retail pharmacy. for others yet, it might be mobile clinics, traveling to rural areas where people have less access because there simply isn't a hospital or a retail pharmacy nearby. so it is really thinking broadly including about those elderly americans who may not have access to a smart phone or a computer. and the ability to just keep checking over and over again for an appointment. >> yeah, i've heard more than one senior say they're better off having young grandchildren who can help them with this and their friends who do not are really in trouble. doctor, thank you. thank you for the work you do. thank you for coming on. dr. celine gounder, our guest again tonight. >>> coming up for us, after selling out to donald trump, a big name republican senator decides to spend more time with his family. robinhood believes now is the time to do money — without the commission fees and account minimums. so, you can start investing today, where

situation whereby there is concern amongst the backbone of community health in the u.k. a general practitioners there a furious about suggestions and recommendations from the government to get the best out of the situation they will actually not abide by the recommended dosage for the pfizer drug which is the 1st dose followed 21 days later by the 2nd dose but actually to delay that 2nd dose so it was a get more. or out there in the way of resource to get more vaccines now that is quite sensitive ground for health care professionals and indeed for these g.p.'s who say this should not be the case that they should really do it as recommended earlier so you've got that going on and you also have as you've touched on in your introduction the situation with the backbone of education in the u.k. teachers threatening not to go to their classrooms on monday for the primary schools these are the under eleven's in the u.k. because they don't feel safe now boris johnson again in that interview a short time ago said no no it's old down to public health advice but his government has made a u. turn already.

clinics to general practitioner clinics and to other places by the end of the week that will be hundreds of centers and that will then mushroom into a much larger operation the central issue is the logistics there are plans for tens of millions of doses in the coming months but the promise from the prime minister boris johnson to get a very high figure in the 10s of millions within that 3 months is very ambitious because there are just tickled issues not least of all of the vaccinators being trained because they need so many people to administer this vaccine along with the finds a vaccine which was started just over 3 weeks ago so a colossal operation and all that's. time but the increasing of the infection rate $75000.00 deaths so far are a record figure in the u.k. it's getting higher all the time so if ever there was a need for a vent seem to be successful it's right now. absolutely thank you for that andrew simmons there in london or we have katrina you now joining us from beijing katrina just tell us about the vaccine rollout in china this push to get things done before the chinese

like the society for immunology, endorsed by other medical bodies, like the royal college of general practitionersased on a number of different scientific lines of decision—making. that is to allow us to maximise, over the first 12 weeks, the numberof us to maximise, over the first 12 weeks, the number of people who can be vaccinated, so we can get down those jc vi levels as fast as possible before the second vaccine is given. that should provide a high degree, not complete because everybody should have the second dose at 12 weeks, but that should provide a high degree of protection and get us through that as fast as we can, because we are facing, as the prime minister said in the data shows, a really serious emergency at the moment. the increased transmissibility of the new variant was clearly a concern, and given the effects of restrictions, it was obvious that you needed to do more because of a high degree of transmissibility. the view from sage was that it was likely that more measures would be needed to retain transmission of a variant that had an intrinsically higher transmissibility rate, a

last year we announced our initiative to expand more into dental offices and partnering with general practitionerser the last several months. international expansion is another opportunity. so of the 500 million people i mentioned a minute ago, the international market actually represents about 75% of that opportunity. we launched into our first market in late 2018 and since then are now in 10 countries around the world and have many more coming this year across europe and latin america and asia pacific as well and the third is really the teen market. teens are about 75% of the market. for us, it's only about 10% of our of business in he total. so clearly a nice growth opportunity that we see for the future as well. maria: and you partnered with met life insurance. why was that important? you did that last year. >> we did. so met life is one of many insurance partners that we've now partnered with. we've always accepted insurance but it wasn't a great experience for the consumer. so what would happen is you would have to pay us the full price out of pocket and we would help you check eligibility,

the roll—out of very large vaccination centres but much more importantly for many people, general practitionerse workers who care for them and then we can start going down the ages. i am very sorry to hear she has yet very much hope she will be very soon. we saw a question, without shielding. so many people asking about it. that was from barbara asking, she has had her first fight it back from barbara asking, she has had herfirst isaac maxine, does she need to shield? another question about shielding. can you clear up what is happening with shielding? two very different issues. in terms of people who have a vaccine who are shielding, first i am very pleased to hear that because that will provide, after a period of there is a delay of somewhere between ten and 21 days before people become, start to become protected. the protection isn't immediate. people are to a large degree protected after the first vaccination. but it is not complete protection. i will go back to a figure i gave earlier. in the uk at the moment, one in 50 people have this virus and in some parts of london it is down to one in

let's get the thoughts now from jane clare gerada, gp and former head of the royal college of general practitionerst i think we need to be alert and cognisant of what he is saying. it is notjust hospitals that are busy. i know there is a lwa ys that are busy. i know there is always a focus on hospitals because they are easy to look at and easy to measure and easy to film, but general practice is also full. it may not actually be full of covid but it's full of everybody else. i did a very long surgery on new year's eve, did a very long surgery on new yea r‘s eve, and did a very long surgery on new year's eve, and every single person i had contact with, some of those face—to—face, some of those remotely, where a step up in terms of complexity to, say, this time last year. and we are full, notjust full giving the covid vaccines, but also keeping the nhs taking a long as it should be for everybody else. not everybody has covid. there are all sorts of people out there with illnesses that we often see at this time of the year and other problems. we need to be mindful it is notjust hospitals we need to pr

vaccine that we can take anywhere and that we really, really want to get out to all of our general practitionerscular date. 0bviously, actually reach by a particular date. obviously, we would wish by mid—february to have covered all of our cohorts once before and i were cohorts 129 shortly after, so we‘re trying very much to plan with our uk colleagues. that is sometimes not easy with the vaccine supply routes not being in our control but are confident that they are working hard to get as ourfair share but confident that they are working hard to get as our fair share but also at the fairtime to get as our fair share but also at the fair time because we had 22,000 doses of astrazeneca week. this we have got 1500 people to reach next week we have 25,000 doses so if hundreds of thousands of doses con thatis hundreds of thousands of doses con that is great but we don‘t want them coming in the second week of february because we won‘t be able to display them a mac or them so it is fair shares at the fair time. —— because we will be able to deploy them, so it is fair shares at a fair time. in terms of

an actual doctor — i drafted in clare gerada, gp and former chair of the royal college of general practitionersnd clinical trials are under way. you've mentioned how beneficial this could be to people who know they need to be taking their blood pressure readings, but how about to healthy people? it would be very, very useful to be picking up people that we don't normally see in our surgery, till they run into problems. sometimes your phone may need a bit of help, though. this smartphone—connected device aims to help you when you're having a remote doctor's appointment. now, it comes with attachments that help you look inside your ear or inside your throat, even a stethoscope, plus simpler functions by being able to take your temperature. an app helps you record your findings and send them to a doctor. or if your healthcare provider is signed up, you can do live video calls where they take control. heart is awesome! let's go to spot 2. ah, great! go directly across... a lot of schools around the us and europe are starting to use tyto as a mini clinic. we have visiting nurses- services that they
