🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 child 🧒 🏥 cases still rising ⬆️⬆️⬆️

All ages 0-17…but look at 12-17. 5 times the Feb peak

5-11 yr olds 3 times the Feb peak.

This caught me on the hop as I thought child cases and hospitalisations were falling in Scotland.
Look at the last 4 weeks on this chart.

Let’s hope this week’s data shows a sharp drop.

Their school vaccination programme is more advanced than 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Here’s the data provided showing the data since March. Quite stark

But so is that drop to a still high 50 in the last week. Maybe that is vaccine effect?

If so it points strongly towards suggesting we should have vaccinated in the summer hols…& ENGLAND needing to catch up.
See the knock on pattern in parents’ age groups

Coronavirus report warned of impact on UK four years before pandemic

Yet Lord Bethell, then health minister, told parliament at the time: “It was a trial run for a flu pandemic, not of the kind that Covid produced”.

This was NOT TRUE.

theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
He went on to say that “the demands on PPE, the health sector and the care sector were more profound than the flu pandemic trials prepared us for.”

The Coronavirus Pandemic exercise, Operation Alice, reported on 15th Feb 2016.

documentcloud.org/documents/2108…
And the Government tried to hide it last August saying it could “lead to loss of public confidence in the government’s and the NHS’ Covid-19 response … based on misinterpretation of the report.”

Yes. Well. Loss of confidence is right.

Private hospitals treated only eight Covid patients a day during the pandemic and performed fewer NHS-funded operations despite a lucrative deal with the Government…costing undisclosed £billions. Image
The Centre for Health and Public Interest said in a report an arrangement believed to cost £400-million A MONTH from March 2020 block-booked the entire capacity of all 7,956 beds in England’s 187 private hospitals.

So why were we spending ££££ on (unused) Nightingale Hospitals?
On 39% of days between March 2020 and March this year, private hospitals treated NO ‼️ Covid patients at all and on a further 20% of days they cared for only ONE ‼️person.

Overall, they provided only 3,000 of the 3.6m Covid bed days in those 13 months – just 0.08% of the total.

Superb from ⁦@RobDotHutton⁩

“Come with me on a journey to a happier place. A magical world that’s as close as your imagination. Join me, if you can, in Borisland.

Read every satirical lyrical word.
thecritic.co.uk/we-as-a-people…
“The homes of Borisland are built without planning fights, arranged around village greens, each with their own maypole. The children of Borisland are cheeky scamps, scrumping apples until they’re caught by the village bobby and sent on their way with a gentle clip around the ear”
“In Borisland, your wife and your mistress help each other out with the babysitting.”

More than 100 billionaires kept money hidden in offshore accounts

It helps to understand what “offshore accounts” means in this context.

And then we can look at examples about why people might use them

Because £/$ are hidden by the super rich this way washingtonpost.com/business/inter…
1/. What is an offshore system?

Financial devices that offer privacy, but also opportunities to hide assets from
Authorities
Creditors
Claimants
Public Scrutiny
2/ why is it called “offshore finance?

The countries offering this system were often coastal locations or islands. But that is not true or necessary now. The term “offshore” signifies anywhere that is not a customer’s residence.

UK industry could face shutdowns as wholesale gas price hits record high (& not just in the U.K.)

The wholesale gas price for day-ahead delivery rose above the £3 per therm level for the first time on Wednesday morning, hitting 350p at one point

theguardian.com/business/2021/…
That was even higher than the spike in demand for gas during February 2018’s “Beast from the East” cold snap.

Gas prices also hit highs across the continent, where the energy squeeze helped drive down shares, with Europe’s regional Stoxx 600 index falling 1.9% in early trading
The FTSE 100 down 1.8% in London.

High energy usage industries are particularly hard hit, eg steel, fertiliser and chemical plants that produce essential supplies to the market.

Moody’s predicts more firms going to the wall as a consequence.
