Scruff,
Flu cases are down in the Southern Hemp.

However, I think that's down to flu vaccination being pushed, social distancing etc.

UK are just entering the flu season. The govn have bought 30m(I think it was) doses of flu vaccine and have been encouraging vaccination for all with underlying health conditions.
If flu cases are down then it will be good news for NHS, as it will keep pressure off during the 2nd wave of covid.

May be ridiculous - I'm not vouching for it but have read a couple of reports about it. Not from this country but from the USA. Apparently (and I wouldnt have thought that unexpectedly) the number of flu cases is down dramatically from a normal year - and that apparently is true for South America and other S hemisphere countries. Maybe the government should force people to wear face masks, keep 2m apart, not visit family and such like forever.Keep us alive and save the NHS.

"covid has wiped out the flu"

Ridiculous statement, the Influenza numbers are down simply because the more responsible members of our Nation are taking precautions against Covid that will also protect them from any other virus including Influenza.

Macron vows to scupper Brexit deal that 'sacrifices' French fishermen but faces renewed EU pressure

Emmanuel Macron has vowed to scupper any Brexit deal that “sacrifices” French fishermen, but faces a growing swell of pressure from Germany and other EU states to accept less access to British waters.

The French president’s hard line on fishing rights is one of the last remaining obstacles to an agreement. But with just a year and a half to go before national elections, being seen as the defender of France’s coastal communities could prove a valuable campaign asset for Mr Macron.

Battling the British over fisheries could help him shed the “president of the rich” label his critics have given him. Gilets Jaunes protesters vilify Mr Macron as indifferent to the concerns of rural communities, caring only for the metropolitan elites.

Boats from Brittany, Normandy and the Calais area catch more than half of their fish in British waters. The French, Dutch and Danish fishing industries would be all but wiped out if they were excluded or forced to drastically reduce their hauls.

For France, the fishing industry is a drop in the ocean in terms of national revenue, accounting for just 0.06 per cent of its overall economy.

Politically, however, it’s a different story. The industry is vital to parts of Brittany and the Calais area that are likely to be important battlegrounds in the 2022 election.

“Symbolically, fisheries are a big issue,” said Bruno Cautrès, a political analyst at the Cevipof thinktank. “Macron has to hold out for a deal that doesn’t hit coastal communities too hard and reinforce the perception that he only looks after the capital and the big cities.

John Redwood@johnredwood1hGlad to see the EU now says it wants a Free Trade Agreement. No need for the UK to give any ground on other matters. We must take full control of our fish, our laws and our borders, and end the rule of the European Court.

Boris needs to be consistant with his tier system. X,y,z per hundred thousand triggering a lock down tier. Since the bank of little englandshire is paying for this it should also be imposed on all of the uk. Wales and scotland shouldnt expect the english to pay for them to sit at home drinking Bucky.
