Re: Coronavirus
That's the first jab for me, back in 10 weeks.
I walked into an empty waiting room. A nurse called for 3 male muslim patients (obvious names). They were not present, so she called my name. In, coat off, 3 questions, jab, given my card with the date for the second jab. And out in under 3 minutes.

Russia seeks to make Sputnik V in Italy as overseas demand surges
Moscow sets up manufacturing deals abroad while domestic appeal of its Covid vaccine remains muted
Russia’s move to produce its Sputnik V vaccine in Italy has underlined Moscow’s efforts to meet a surge in overseas contracts for the jab while many Russians snub it at home.
The Russian Direct Investment Fund, which oversees the Covid-19 vaccine’s distribution, on Tuesday said it had signed an agreement with Swiss-based pharmaceutical company Adienne for its Italy-based unit to produce the two-injection jab, the Italian-Russian Chamber of Commerce said in a statement.
Production first requires approval from local regulators, according to Italian officials, and the region of Lombardy, where the factory is based, said it was not involved in an “exclusively private-law agreement”. Adienne did not return calls for comments. But if it comes to fruition, the Italy manufacturing plan would be the first such partnership inside the EU, where the bloc’s medical agency is reviewing the Russian vaccine for authorisation. RDIF head Kirill Dmitriev told Russian state television that the state investment fund had also signed deals with producers in Germany, Spain and France.

Re: Coronavirus
On the subject of World-Beating Test & Trace...
On Monday, the COVID Symptom Study app asked me to get a test. So I booked myself in online. I chose a walk-in test centre in a car park in town. They emailed me the address, so I put the postcode in the car sat-nav and off I went. I arrived to find an empty car park. Hmm....
So I put the postcode into Google Maps on my phone. It drove me round the block and back to the same empty car park. I was just about to give up and go home, when I thought I'd try entering the full address instead. Turns out they'd sent me the wrong postcode.
I guess there are more ways to beat the world than "World's Best".
The test was negative, by the way.

Re: Coronavirus
Do car parks even have post codes? I suspect you just ended up with someone's best guess.

They are both car parks for commercial premises, so yes they do have postcodes. They are only about a quarter of a mile apart, but on different roads.
"Someone's best guess" isn't really good enough when lives are at stake. I wonder how many people have been unable to find it. (I have reported the error to them, BTW)

It works.
Every day when out walking people purposely avoid passing by me (and each other) by crossing the road. The paranoia is ridiculous.

It's pointless taking an unneccesary risk, however small. I'll be doing the same.

But which is riskier - crossing the road or walking past Paul?

Perhaps they're being polite, trying to avoid infecting you in case they were asymptomatic?
