i can tell you what's happening in la county is happening if other parts of the country, where when countiesre seeing rising levels of cases, they're considering what additional mitigation measures to take. in addition, of course, to their efforts to get more people vaccinated and masking, that constitutes one of the mitigation measures. i think what's happening in la county is contrary to what we've learned over the past year during the pandemic. what la county tells us and what other parts of the country where we're seeing rising cases tells us, is that even though we've got many people who are vaccinated, we have many who are not. millions are still not protected from the virus. that's why we've got to work hard to get them vaccinated. one of the big barriers we have, one of the obstacles to vaccination is misinformation. two-thirds of people who are not vaccinated even believe common myths about covid-19 vaccination or think the myths might be true. we've got to get people accurate information, chris, because that's what they need to make a decision for themselves and their family. chris

la county is again recommending masks indoors, again because of rising cases., though, keeps coming back to its vaccine rollout. that's the foundation of its decision. but the who is clear — the stakes remain high. we would ask governments to be really careful at this moment, not to lose the gains you have made, to open up very carefully. the uk government knows this is a decision with risks attached. it knows when the infection rate rises, when there are buses, trains, pubs, offices, theatres and shops full of people not wearing masks, this will be "living with covid." and only then will the health service, the economy, and the virus show us if it was the right decision. hello there. there are some major and long—awaited changes to the weather pattern over the week ahead. for so long now, our weather has been dominated by low pressure, which has meant we've seen rain. low pressure has been there because the jet stream is to the south of the uk. if we run things on a bit, we're going to find out in the other side of the atlantic much more undulation in thejet s
