More jobs coming to Ireland soon as AstraZeneca decides to invest in Ireland and not expand its Macclesfield plant.
Quote:
Ministers were lining up £55million of subsidies for Astra for the project before the rift. This was intended to convince the FTSE 100 company to invest in the UK rather than Ireland. The plans were discussed with officials on the fringes of the G7 summit, which included Boris Johnson visiting one of its sites. But Soriot was so incensed by the booster vaccine snub that it has now reverted to its original plan to build a site in Ireland, where there are more favourable tax breaks.

No, this is primary cause of death. Click the links Hugh provided for a very good explanation how the figures are calculated.
Also note that "Symptoms signs and ill-defined conditions" is the only other bucket that is above the 5 year average. Which suggests there are also some undiagnosed COVID deaths in that bucket.

Re: Coronavirus
Early days but this sounds promising.
Quote:
A Covid therapy derived from a llama named Fifi has shown "significant potential" in early trials.
It is a treatment made of "nanobodies", small, simpler versions of antibodies, which llamas and camels produce naturally in response to infection.
Once the therapy has been tested in humans, scientists say, it could be given as a simple nasal spray - to treat and even prevent early infection.

Re: Coronavirus
Just signed up my kids for their jab next week with their consent of course. My kids school is being super cagey and neutral about not being seen to promote the vaccination. The kids are seeing the same thing in class. The teachers have clearly been told to have no opinion on vaccines.
I guess they looked at the potential 'schools are brainwashing our kids to put poison in them' headlines and decided to avoid that noise!
I did see on the news this morning an 80% take up at a school that was used as a trial which is great news though

Meanwhile in Scotland the 12-15 vaccination plan seems actively designed to circumvent anti-vaxxer parents. Phase 1 is to open drop-ins, phase 2 is to send out appointment letters, and phase 3 is to hold vaccination sessions in schools that will aim to get consent from the kids directly if necessary.
But this is what happens when you elect an authoritarian, centralising, nannying nationalist party to run the country (and I say this as someone who, for once, is inclined to forgive them … we did our infant parenting at the time of the MMR controversy and I’ve seen the damage and heartache scientifically illiterate, loud-mouthed Mumsnetters can do. Frankly the question of whether kids should be vaccinated against covid against their parents’ wishes is overcoming my socially conservative instinct to protect the sanctity of the family unit).

Re: Coronavirus
I’m sure the authoritarian, centralising nationalist party in London could do the same if anti-vaxxers weren’t actively driving policy making.
The massive overlap between anti-vax, anti-mask, GBD and pressure groups like UsForThem is slowly unravelling. It's almost as if there's venture capital funding misinformation to extend the economic disruption.
