Chavi - I've seen estimates ranging from 5% to 25%, for proportion of population who have had virus. Quite a discrepancy there. The higher estimate would be positive in terms of immunity.

Also some disagreement yesterday regarding R rate in some parts of country. Apparently close to 1.0 in NW and SW. (According to some). Less of a concern, in SW as number infected lower. Again, depends who is right.

“ Eu as many of our exports are commodities like oil and many of our imports are luxuries like German cars. Commodities have to be bought- luxuries don’t.”

Given that a great number have had 19 without knowing it and have some sort of immunity I dont think there will be a big second wave. But what do I know.
Only that this 2 wks isolation after returning here from holiday or others coming in is about 2 months behind what should have been. A clear case imo of closing the stable door after the horse has gone.

Obviously not 'Forgotten" at least by you. But he is just one contra example as opposed to the hundreds of people from non-white backgrounds killed.

In his book Blaming the Victim, sociologist William Ryan shows how white Americans treat black Americans as second-class citizens, providing them with inferior education, inferior housing, inferior jobs - and then point to the result, the semi-skilled black living in a ghetto, as proof that the black American is ‘inherently217; incapable of coming up to white standards. ‘We’ve given them every chance,’ they seem to imply, ‘but the blacks just can’t make it.’ It’s the call to an unquestionable authority again - genes, this time, And the white Americans’ unjust behaviour, which caused the problem of inequality, has been redefined as a problem originating within the black skin.

What the dominant group sees as objectionable in their victims can provide an interesting clue to what they fear in themselves - it’s a sort of distorted mirror-image of the rejected part of themselves. Until these suppressed, rejected parts are reclaimed, other people will continue to be blamed for them. And a group that gets away with blaming someone else will never face coming to terms with its own negative aspect - its ‘shadow’ - which may be precisely that aspect of its identity that it needs in order to feel complete and therefore more secure. Swiss psychologist Carl Jung presented the issue like this: ‘But what if I should discover that the very enemy himself is within me, that I myself am the enemy who must be loved - what then?’

If you’re an up-and-coming young executive in London, there’s a good chance you’ll be tempted to read the Financial Times - not just to check how the stock market is doing, but to learn how to build up the right image for the lifestyle you aspire to. You’ll find out how your suit should be cut and which club you should take your clients to, Most of all, you’ll discover what your opinions should be: the FT tells you what you should think. Its slogan: ‘No FT. no comment’. It’s sobering that such a ploy can be used by a quality paper whose target audience is people aiming for positions of financial and political power. Is the nation’s power elite so insecure that it is not offended at blatantly being told what to think? And if it is so easily led, what could an unscrupulous leader not persuade it to do?

The foul old bag was all along working for Brussels, not this country. She's lucky not to have wound up at Tyburn. Boris should not feel bound by anything whatever she came up with, indeed the opposite. Anything that can be traced back to her should be regarded with the utmost suspicion.
