Coronavirus - is enough being done to contain it?

I notice that a fair few of the trials are Chinese.
Will their vaccines be banned/ discouraged like their phone technology for fear of what mind controlling drugs they might slip into it?

Boris Johnson has said that an independent inquiry into the governments handling of the COVID-19 pandemic would take place.

Like he said the russia report would be released

I noticed bojo made a point of saying no inquiry until covid is completely beaten lol, that buys him some time

Professor Charles Francis Xavier has been spotted at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing.

More mixed messaging on masks

Why say it is mandatory to wear one in other shops but not in takeaways, yet at my local kebab shop not one staff member wore a mask or gloves but in thr KFC two door down they were? I think the guidance should be fully clear where masks need to mandatory, but in any case I think if masks are not mandatory in takeaways then gloves should be made mandatory in them. Gove set the perfect example when he left Pret A Manger in Westminster yet Liz Truss from Labour visited same branch and wore one.

I would say at a push he's got two years
But I do think not many people will not stand for that many will probably feel that an inquiry should be held so that many get closure for lost loved ones as quickly as possible as they feel he has blustered about too much with the fucking virus already.

And like Tony Blair over thr Iraq war, many will see him with too much blood on his hands an would want him on Trial at the Hague.

Which one was the Cambridge (or was it Oxford) one? I noticed that as well how many Chinese trials. I would even trust any of them to be safe.

Its Oxford one they are partnered with Astra zenica

Having been back in at work for the last two days, I hsve to say, it seems very different to what it was before on the high street. seeing all the markings on the shop floor, the limit on people allowed in shop (My store has limit of only 22 people allowed in at one tme but suspect that often changes from day to day) and the social distancing bringing in 'a new normal' : - use of hand gel, & bacterial cleaner to clean the till counters and screens every 15 minutes. When you see staff doing that whatever store you all visit, I hope you will all understand it is done not only for our benefit but for yours as well. Feel much more comfortable with visor than I probably would with a mask both in work and in public. but the main thing is it is good to be back in work!! Still a slight split in people coming with or without a mask the true test of that will be on 24th July
