Oh but hold on : Robert Dingwall, professor of sociology at Nottingham Trent University and a member of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), told Times Radio that the people being admitted to hospital are "predominantly unvaccinated" and it was "hard to see any reason" why June 21 could not go ahead.🤣🤣

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-57260463 Here’s an example of a proper public spirited man. The sort you want on your side. Someone with moral fibre. One with confidence in rationality and real science. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-57260463
In the words of Victor Meldrew 'I couldn't believe it'. Kingston praising Jesus Christ, whose life story has shone into the heart of Rev Tim Hatwell. A proper public-spirited Christian who you would want on your side. A man who has faith and belief in Jesus Christ. There is a scripture that goes along the lines of 'There will be joy and singing in heaven at the repentance on a sinner'. I sincerely hope that joy will be extended to you for pointing out the virtues of a Christian.

Nearly 40 per cent of recently registered Covid deaths in England and Wales were people who died primarily from another condition, latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show.
Out of 107 Covid deaths registered in the week ending May 21, just 66 had the virus recorded as the underlying cause of death – 61.7 per cent.
For the rest of the cases, although coronavirus was mentioned on the death certificate it was not a major cause.
It is the lowest number of deaths with Covid as the underlying cause since the week ending March 13 2020 – the first week that deaths involving Covid were registered in England and Wales, when just five registrations were listed.
The ONS continues to include those who did not primarily die of Covid in its official statistics, even though the World Health Organisation (WHO) has issued guidance warning they should not be classified as Covid deaths in official figures. The data lends support to claims that although cases have been rising in Britain in recent weeks, due largely to the Indian variant, that is not so far translating into a significant increase in deaths.
On Tuesday, the Government announced the first day without any Covid deaths since before the first lockdown in March last year.
Indian variant hotspots such as Bolton, North Tyneside, Rossendale, Hyndburn and Bedford are showing declines in cases or hospital admissions, while increases in Blackburn appear to be slowing.
Sir John Bell, a leading member of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine team, urged the Government to stick to the unlocking roadmap and ensure that we "move on" rather than delay reopening due to new variants.
The University of Oxford professor of medicine told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "If we scamper down a rabbit hole every time we see a new variant, we're going to spend a long time huddled away."
He cautioned that Covid "is here to stay probably forever", and said that the Government should focus on managing "hospitalisations, serious disease and deaths" rather than cases. The weekly ONS data show that Covid is now mentioned in only around one in 90 death registrations in England and Wales – the equivalent of just 1.1 per cent of all deaths registered in the week.
It is the lowest proportion since the week ending Sept 11, when the figure was 1.0 per cent. At the peak of the second wave, in the week ending Jan 29, the figure stood at 45.7 per cent.
The number of Covid deaths registered in England and Wales in the most recent week, to May 21, is also the lowest since the week to Sept 11.
Prof Kevin McConway, emeritus professor of applied statistics at The Open University, said: "On deaths involving Covid-19, the picture is very positive. In the most recent week, 107 deaths were registered in England and Wales that had Covid-19 on the death certificate, and 66 had Covid-19 classified as the underlying cause of death.
"Earlier in the pandemic, any sustained increase in new cases or hospital admissions would lead inevitably to increases in deaths a few weeks later.
"That process won't occur in the same way now, because of the effect of vaccination on reducing serious illness, though it's not yet entirely clear what the new pattern might be or how new variants might play a role."
Covid deaths among people aged 70 and over have fallen by 99 per cent since the second-wave peak, PA analysis also shows. Just 51 deaths in this age group occurred in England and Wales in the week ending May 14, down from 7,426 in the week ending Jan 22.
Deaths for those aged 65 to 69 fell by 97 per cent in the same period, and for those aged 60 to 64 the drop is 98 per cent.
The number of deaths registered in England and Wales in the week ending May 21 was 9,860, 304 fewer than the previous week and 3.2 per cent below the five-year average.

I've had both my jabs, A Z with no side effects from either. Hope all goes well for you.
