✈️ So which countries (if any) are likely to move up and down the traffic lights this week? We crunch the data

telegraph.co.uk/travel/lists/1…
How does the Government decide the traffic lights?

📌 The percentage of a country’s population that have been vaccinated

📌 The rate of infection

📌 The prevalence of variants of concern

📌 The country’s access to reliable scientific data and genomic sequencing
✅ Which countries are currently green?

📌 Australia
📌 Brunei
📌 Falkland Islands
📌 Faroe Islands
📌 Gibraltar
📌 Iceland
📌 Israel and Jerusalem
📌 New Zealand
📌 Singapore
📌 South George and the South Sandwich Islands
📌 St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha
⁉️ So will any more countries go green this week?

❌ Nobody is expecting a bumper green list update.

🚦 But, according to the Government’s own traffic lights criteria there are a number of destinations that should at least be on the watchlist for promotion to ‘green’ this week
🇲🇹 Malta

Cases per 100,000: 1.81
Second doses given: 64.5%

There were only eight cases of Covid-19 reported over the last week (that’s 1.8 per 100,000 over a week) and 64.5% of the population has been double jabbed. The UK, by comparison, is at 56.97% of adults with two doses
🇺🇸USA

Cases per 100,000: 24.13
Second doses given: 55.53%

Based on data, the USA should go green.

Dr Anthony Fauci says: “'I think once they get more and more people vaccinated...the UK is going to be in a very favourable position by the time we get to the end of the summer”
🇭🇷 Croatia

Cases per 100,000: 14.86
Second doses given: 25.2%

Croatia’s second wave is over. Yesterday, only 58 people in Croatia tested positive for Covid-19. The seven-day count is 610 cases, amounting to 14.86 per 100,000 – a fraction of the UK’s current infection rate
🇮🇹 Italy

Cases per 100,000: 13.4
Second doses given: 29.2%

Italy's weekly Covid-19 case rate is 13.4 per 100,000, considerably lower than that of the UK. The vaccination drive is picking up pace, too, with almost 30% of the population having received both doses of the jab
🇪🇸 Balearic Islands

Cases per 100,000: 19
Second doses given: 25.5%

The islands will be considered independently of the mainland, meaning the Balearics should be a strong contender for ‘green’ status. Cases are at 19 per 100,000 and a quarter of the population is double-jabbed

➡️At some point, you’ll probably have worked out your BMI

❓But this metric doing more harm than good?

📰A large body of research now suggests BMI is an outdated and ineffective way to measure how your weight affects your health

Thread ~👇🧵
telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…
➡️Many experts argue that BMI is a blunt tool

They say the formula is flawed by the fact it does not distinguish between fat and muscle.

❌This means that on an individual level it can see healthy people misdiagnosed as overweight or obese, and vice versa
In fact, BMI was never intended to be a way to measure a healthy weight.

🧑‍🔬It was invented by a mathematician in the mid-19th century as a way to describe the growth spurts that happen after birth and puberty

❌ “My screams were so loud that my husband tried to find out what room I was in to make it stop" telegraph.co.uk/women/life/one…
🔊 This week, presenter @TVNaga01 spoke out on air about her own intense pain from having an IUD fitted:

“My screams were so loud that my husband tried to find out what room I was in to make it stop"
❌💊 The NHS mentions it can be “uncomfortable” and that “some people might find it painful but you can have a local anaesthetic to help.”

But many women aren't offered any pain relief.

@LucyMazuma's GP told her paracetamol would be enough
