While Cummings is on it's worth looking briefly at how perplexed people were in March last year while all this was going on.

Here's some:
It's one thing to say mistakes were made. It's another thing for the mistakes to be clear *before* they were made or as they are being made.
And @PeterKGeoghegan and me also had a good chat about the London political media. I argued in particular they were completely and utterly failing in their jobs. Unfortunately the media is often not good at a) being questioned b) self examination and is inherently defensive.

Ok here's my calculation of delivered to administered doses to Week 15 (ie to Friday, April 16)

PB: Delivered 1,009,710; Administered 892,535
AZ: Delivered 355,200; Administered 243,846
M: Delivered 109,200; Administered 51,973
JJ: Delivered 14,400; Administered 0

Which means *stock on hand* going into Saturday April 17 of:

PB: 117,175
AZ: 111,354
M: 57,227
JJ: 14,400
In the data we have available Sat -> Mon we can subtract and say current stock is:

PB: 90,021
AZ: 108,692
M: 55,910
JJ: 14,400

I assume the 108k on hand AZ are for giving to 65-69 year olds this week. Moderna has a 50% buffer.

Well. This looks interesting. *sips tea*.
Hmmm "not sought" but "received"
The words "directly" and "sought" are doing serious heavy lifting here.

So the High Court will deliver judgments in not one, not two, but three @RightToKnowIE cases this week. 👀
Judgments by Simons, Barr and Barrett respectively, all focussed in different ways on the AIE Directive/Regulations
Update: In Right To Know CLG v OCEI (and RTÉ) Judge Max Barrett has found (comprehensively) in our favour. The OCEI must do decision again in light of the judgment.

Hard to know where to start with @lawrence_wright piece. Here's some bits. Kudlow half realising that yes, money is dumb. Image
Redfield saying on the record that in mid March they realised that asymptomatic spread was a thing. Fauci said it on January 31 - but perhaps Redfield means severity of infectiousness 🤷‍♂️ Image
Or that Kansas ended up being an experiment in mask wearing (a bit like The Netherlands arguably) Image

It's out. It includes links to some great reading, including this spectacular 30,000 word piece by @lawrence_wright on the pandemic newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…
And this by @dntse on Claude Shannon quantamagazine.org/how-claude-sha…
