Not out of trouble yet

John Hopkins University, who has been tracking COVID, announced that yesterday was the deadliest day of the pandemic thus far. SO the question we really should be asking our Government is, is now the right time to be letting our guard down?

In London yesterday, the largest anti-masking and anti-vaxx demonstration showed how anti-science is getting through.

Acts like these will act as super-spreading events, just as the warm sun of spring should be welcoming us back to some kind of normality. It still might, this might just be COVID's Battle of the Buldge, one last firefight before being defeated. But, with the virus rampaging through the sub-continent, the chances of more vaccine-resistant mutations are possible or even likely. Then we will all be back at square one.

This could have been prevented by opening up the vaccine patents, and getting the whole world vaccinated and protected, but Big Pharma wanted their pound of flesh, even though tax-payers part-funded the research, and Governments like here in the UK or US wanted vaccine nationalism. Much more blood on Johnson's hands over this.

Stay safe, people.

Meanwhile, there is talk of further unlocking, trial restriction-free events, while tens of thousands die on a daily basis in India. Seems obscene to me.
