WE HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH!

If you are vaccinated in ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ or Northern Ireland and are travelling to ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช there is good news!

Thanks @p_edmond for highlighting this

Explained in the ๐Ÿงต
If you want background for travel to anywhere *else* in ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ (other than ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช), or to ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ please see this earlier ๐Ÿงต instead
Prerequisites - get the relevant one of these

๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ NHS COVID Pass letter
nhs.uk/conditions/corโ€ฆ

๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ Get proof online
gov.wales/get-nhs-covid-โ€ฆ

Northern Ireland COVID Certificate
nidirect.gov.uk/services/coronโ€ฆ
*Either* keep the paper to hand, *or* import the code into the Irish Covid Tracker Ireland app

Android: play.google.com/store/apps/detโ€ฆ
iOS: apps.apple.com/de/app/covid-tโ€ฆ
Then - and this is the bit that did not work before and now does (and still does not work in ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ countries other than ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช) scan the code from your phone in this Digital Covid Cert Check web app:
app.digitalcovidcertchecker.gov.ie
This now shows as VALID โœ…

Interestingly it also says "Vaccination - GB" - whether you were vaccinated in England or Wales
If you put another ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ country's EU Digital COVID Pass QR code through the system it likewise shows valid - this is from a German scan
This means that when ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช starts to introduce controls of vaccination status to do things - to enter restaurants for example - those vaccinated in ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ,๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ & Northern Ireland *will be treated the same way as those vaccinated in ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช or any ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ country*

How it should be!
Right... how about some other ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ countries get on and do the same now? ๐Ÿ™‚

(and yes, sorry, this doesn't work for anyone vaccinated in ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ as NHS Scotland doesn't issue QR codes in the vaccination proof letter. Come on @AlynSmith @AngusRobertson get that fixed!)

As if this was not all messed up already, ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Corona-Warn-App v 2.6.1 has messed this up even more

For those vaccinated in ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ and Northern Ireland travelling to ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช read ๐Ÿงต

If going anywhere else, follow the original thread ๐Ÿ‘‡
This comes thanks to a discussion with @legumjus
@i_x_s, and a tweet from @hodadr

The prerequisites: letter from NHS ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ or Northern Ireland confirming vaccination status, with QR code on it, and Corona-Warn-App latest version (2.6.1 on iOS)
Up until today's new Corona-Warn-App update, if you imported a NHS QR code into the app it just displayed it, and did not do any validation

For that you needed the *separate* CovPassCheck App (which is only in ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช app stores - bit of a pain, but I diverge)

So you are someone fully vaccinated in ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ or Northern Ireland, and you want to travel to ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด or ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ

And you have heard of the EU Digital COVID Certificate and you want to get one

This ๐Ÿงต explains what we know currently
Important: there is a difference between proving your vaccination status when *entering a country* and proving your status *once you are inside* that country
As someone vaccinated ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ or NI you can GET INTO ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ countries by proving your vaccine status at the border

The question then is what happens after that

Like it or not many ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ countries are restricting access to things (museums, libraries etc.) for unvaccinated

To make sense of this @COdendahl you also need to look at what coalitions are *mathematically* as well as *politically* possible

I explored that here:


More thoughts in the ๐Ÿงต
First, I agree a CDU/CSU - Grรผne coalition is the most likely - and it's probably going to be the only 2 party coalition that would mathematically work

Second, I also agree CDU/CSU - SPD - FDP is highly unlikely - no-one wants it, especially the SPD. But if all else failed..?
Where I disagree with Christian is about if SPD would join a Grรผne - SPD - FDP coalition. Not governing with CDU/CSU would be a major change, and given policy agreements with the Grรผne on a lot of issues, the SPD might see an opportunity - even if they had finished behind Grรผne

Motivated by tweets from @DavidHenigUK this morning, a challenge:

How could we establish a *fair* picture of where there are supermarket shortages in the UK?

Quick ๐Ÿงต
David is right to say that itโ€™s not all as catastrophic as some say, nor not a problem at all as some others do. Itโ€™s something in between.
Further as weโ€™ve seen throughout Brexit, some firms cope better with disruption than others (think of EasyJet re-registering planes to Austria very swiftly, while British Airways dithered)

Some firms, maybe some regions, cope better?

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง has a vaccine supply problem

It's important

A ๐Ÿงต
Back in the winter and early spring, Johnson was crowing about how brilliant ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง vaccine procurement rollout had been, and how - by comparison - ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ was struggling

Now - in mid July - it is precisely the opposite
๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง bet on 8 vaccines in 2020 - AZ, BioNTech, Moderna, J&J, Valneva, Novavax, GSK-Sanofi and Curevac - and notably ordered and approved AZ and BioNTech sooner than ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ did

So the guys at @SmarketsPol asked me yesterday if I could make a kind of Brexit diagram for German government coalition options post-Bundestag election

I've not got a diagram together *yet*, but I have done some workings, and it's pretty interesting

#BTW21 ๐Ÿงต
Wikipedia's German polling page has a table called "Monatliche Mittelwerte" - basically an average of all the month's polls
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundestagโ€ฆ

I've taken these numbers, and used them for this work, and have made my own July-so-far calculation as well
The overall state of the polling is shown in this graph

CDU did v well through the main part of the pandemic, lost 10 points, and have recovered a bit. Greens back to trend. FDP now up a good bit
