With just over a week to go until 'Freedom Day' the latest figures from @chrischirp at today's #IndependentSage briefing show infection rates ↗️ across the board. Cases in over-60s in the Northeast rapidly climbing to levels last seen in November peak
Latest Imperial REACT study shows highest rates in young people overall and much higher rates in men than women over last month, probably a result of people getting together to watch the #Euros
'Steep drop-off' in vaccination rates among young people 'not that surprising' says @chrischirp given that government messaging this week has been that young people are fine if they get #COVID19. Around 30% of population still not vaccinated

Hoping to catch some Summer Sun? Good luck with that. Many restrictions on international travel apply. But if you're determined, @allthecitizens has compared the test prices and availability from the government’s list of Covid-19 test suppliers so you don’t have to...
Unsurprisingly, we found that confusion reigns.

Prices on the gov list of private test suppliers vary wildly. Location, type of test / service provided and other factors mean tests and packages range from £7.49 all the way up to as much as £850
gov.uk/government/pub…
In the UK, free NHS testing is available for those with symptoms. But for those leaving or returning from abroad, you will need to book tests at your own expense through private suppliers. And it seems that some people are going to be making loads of money from this requirement.

At 5pm today Boris Johnson is expected to announce that wearing face masks and social distancing will become voluntary after July 19. The government isn't even pretending to follow the science any more. It’s making it up
#HerdImmunity

With a third of the adult population not fully-vaccinated and children left completely unprotected, this is a dangerous, unethical and unscientific experiment on the population, without consent
It’s projected that 1 million more people will have been infected by July 19 - that’s another 100,000 to 200,000 people who will go on to suffer the devastating effects of #LongCovid, including children

Britain, from a German perspective: “Behind the Prime Minister's clown-like facade there is a tough politician. Johnson is increasingly pursuing an authoritarianism that threatens basic civil liberties."
"In Brexit Britain the outlines of the characteristics of an autocratic regime can be seen - attacks on freedom of expression and assembly, blatant corruption, cold-hearted politics against migrants. That is extremely dangerous." 2/
"The new police bill is supposed to give the state the necessary powers to prevent protests of any kind. For example, the police can prescribe exact start & end times for demos, & they can prohibit protest if it is too loud. Such proposals simply have no place in a democracy." 3/

New, compelling evidence is emerging of 'a global effort by Russia’s military intelligence organization to spy on government organizations, defense contractors, universities and media companies'

nytimes.com/2021/07/01/us/…
It is an operation run by the same group that influenced the Us Presidential campaign in 2016.

And it's “almost certainly ongoing,” as aknowledged both by Usa and British security agencies.
In recent years, the Uk has been the target of attacks attributed to Russian agents, such as the Salisbury's poisoning, and Kremlin attempts to interfere with British elections, including the Brexit referendum in 2016. Still, the Uk government has chosen to look away
