Here, we have a VOC concentrated in 2 boroughs. Why let it spread unchecked?

Seems a bit of a deja vu moment with the Kent variant in December. London was kept in a low tier for seemingly political reasons despite the data suggesting it should have been in Tier 3 or 4 like most of the rest of the country. By Christmas, London and the South East were ravaged and the disease spread across the rest of the country.

And even worse for Europe. For example in NL the whole strategy for under 60 basically bases on J&J delivering this spring.

So when do hotels open in Scotland? I read Covid: Travel ban in Scotland to be eased from Friday - BBC News and it says hotel stays not allowed this friday. So when then? The 26th??

University students are feeling quite left out of the opening. It seems most have returned to "term time accommodations" and those I know are quite anxious to be back to in person learning.

AZ is already banned for good for people under 60 in Holland so no chill if J&J gets the same end result. Apprently 10 in a million is already enough to get AZ stopped so.

Well interestingly all cases were in women at a certain age, so allow it for men? Let's see what the CDC/FDA says about it in a few days, the UK hasn't even approved it yet as they were late to ordering it.

King's College apparently told its students don't expect anything until Septemebr and even then there will be restrictions. The relationship between govt and unis has always been complicated let's be honest. Govt saying not before May 17 at the moment, really doesn't make sense if shops are open but uni's cant have in person learning.

St Andrews has a townhall coming (was postponed a week due to the funeral) and parents are fired up. International parents are reluctant to spend 20K+ pounds for tuition for next year and half as much again to living expenses without some commitment that there will be in person learning and a better approach to testing, tracing and quarantine and housing. The living situation and food situation for students in uni housing this year got pretty dire.
