... And the giving it to his daughter just brings back fond memories of John Gummer shoving a beefburger down is kid's mouth at the height of BSE crisis. ... John Gummer's "nowt wrong with a bit of BSE" incident was verifiable. Putin's daughter receiving a jab is not. One can choose to take the statement at face value or not.

aju , I think you're referring to this. Thanks bernythedolt , I knew some fine scholar and a gent (I assume from the name of course) would be along to help me in this forgetful period I seem to having. Mrs Dolt wouldn't agree, because once or twice in 40-odd years of marriage I've apparently left the seat up... π€π

Straight shooting ever since is not my forte anymore after it damaged my tubes or whatever the technical name is for them!. Mrs Aju only ever complains about things like that when we have male visitors so she's been somewhat quiet on that front of late due to covid. I knew there were positives to be found.

I can't help but think that this falls into the category of "more information than we needed to know" ?

The rest of the results broadly follow what has been observed with the demographic differences already, only 3% over 65 year old's having been infected.

That's not a mental image I needed first thing. EDIT: Or at all, come to think of it.

Extract from the BBC website regarding further relaxation of the regs:
So what are the latest changes?
- Indoor theatre, music and performance venues will be able to reopen with socially distanced audiences
- Wedding receptions in the form of a sit-down meal for up to 30 guests will be permitted
- The piloting of a small number of sporting events to test the safe return of spectators will resume, commencing with the final of the World
Snooker Championship at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre over the weekend - Pilots will take place at conference venues ahead of the expected resumption of business events from 1 October at the earliest
- "Close contact" beauty services such as facials, eyebrow threading, eyelash treatments, make up application and microblading will resume
- Casinos, bowling alleys, skating rinks and soft play centres will be allowed to reopen
- Nightclubs and sexual entertainment venues will remain closed in England.
Meanwhile, Labour's Angela Raynor is complaining that people who knew they were taking a chance by going to France should be compensated if they have to self-isolate for 14 days on their return.

as long as it is her personally compensating them I have no complaints.
I do think the current handling is a little shambolic. The infection rates don't suddenly jump overnight, as we know. They are trackable, and being tracked. So probably contrary to what I've said before, there would be an argument for giving a bit more than a few hours notice (what was it, 24 ?) from when it will apply. Apart from anything else, there are significant downsides to creating a situation where everyone is trying to rush back at the sametime. Remember those scenes at US airports when US citizens where given very short notice to get home ? Jam packed arrival lounges and queues for arrival lounges: self created petri dishes.
edit: also other countries are operating more specific rules, based on 'regions' e.g. NL had a restriction specifically on 'Leicester'.

Are other countries being just as trigger happy in slapping on quarantines at the faintest whiff of numbers going up? (genuine question) As my next travel plan involves Greece, I note that they don't quarantine people. They do however currently require citizens of some countries (e.g. UAE, Bulgaria, Romania, Spain) to provide proof of a negative COVID test shortly before arrival. A less chaotic way of doing it?
