30 flights a week were coming from India, with more coming from Pakistan and Bangladesh.

India had banned all flights from the UK four months earlier.

Public Health England shows that between 25 March and 7 April, 3,345 arrivals from India were registered in UK border travel data. Of those 161 - or 4.8% - tested positive for Covid-19 after a PCR test.

An interesting way to encourage vaccine uptake is being pursued in Ohio.

Two weeks from tonight on May 26th, we will announce a winner of a separate drawing for adults who have received at least their first dose of the vaccine. This announcement will occur each Wednesday for five weeks, and the winner each Wednesday will receive one million dollars.

LMAO . . . I bet it won't be some poor poverty stricken down & out that 'wins' it ;)

. . . on a somewhat related note though, the wife and I have both had our second jabs and this week won £10 on the postcode lottery, so maybe there's something in it :D

We should just barricade the whole of Lancashire off to contain this new variant.
Should have done years ago with that county anyway imo ;)

Bolton is not in Lancashire.
Quote:

Bolton was made part of Greater Manchester under the Local Government Act in 1974, where previously it had been considered a part of Lancashire — a county thought to have been founded in the 12th century.

Deep down you know it is. The whole thing is ridiculous now. You drive out of Preston and see a sign that says "Welcome to Lancashire". So where was I a minute ago?
