Interesting to listen to @LtGenRiley mentioning the limitations and fallibility of satellite technology in the current situation in Ukraine x.com/i/status/1496889860543… It's an insight also in the Antarctic and WW2 career of his cousin Quintin Riley. Wish it had remained history

Now 1,250 Covid inpatients in English hospitals. C. 1% of all patients. Same level we were at July 2020 when many took foreign holidays. And there were no vaccinations.
Any restrictions beyond this point on humans meeting are stupid, cruel and indefensible.
