Recent interview with Fauci about a recent paper. There's no herd immunity possible for #Covid. Not via infection and not via vax. So there's no hybrid immunity possible either. Just like with flu, rapid mutation means rapid immune escape and evasion. Which is a shame as prior immunity is part of the justification for JVCI only giving the vax to >65, HCW & immunosuppressed. Which means we *really* need NPIs (Non Pharma Mitigations) like air filters, masks and voluntary isolation when sick. | |

> "If you are showing symptoms of flu *or Covid-19* such as a high temperature, cough, and feeling tired and achy, try to limit your contact with others, especially those who are vulnerable," Dr. Jamie Lopez Bernal, from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) told reporters. Even without the ongoing pandemic, this should be basic common sense and social responsibility. If you feel unwell and have a temperature, cough, sneezes, achy, try not to give it to anyone else. Easy to say, harder to do. | |

TFW somebody on your street's whatsapp group announces that they've got Covid. And is staying inside while they get over it. BTW. The whatsapp group was started in 2020 and is called ------- Road Lockdown. Specifically as a mutual help group for those stricken by the plague. | |

But however it's done, Labour has to freeze the disaster capitalists and the "buy, strip, flip" private equity grifters out of the system. Especially in essential natural monopoly infrastructure like health, transport, energy, water, sewage, education, social housing, care. And again. Reversing and unwinding 40-50 years of neo-con, neo-liberalism can't be done overnight. It's going to be a long hard slog. | |

You can't just " Let Thames Water go bust and re-nationalise it". Not within the current legal and contract framework. Similarly you can't just " re-nationalise the railways" or "cap and control energy companies". There's too much history around the way they were privatised and current agreements. That doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't be done. It just has to be done within the rule of law and parliamentary process. | |

Trying to reduce these thoughts to the bare minimum and most succinct. The NHS spending £4b a year on contracted out services to private suppliers is absurd. If they could spend £4b once on bringing it in house. And ploughing the reduced costs and profit savings back into new infrastructure. But that can't be done overnight. And in the mean time they have to keep paying the premium just to survive. | |

And let's not forget that Norway is in the Single Market, and Schengen free movement area and has a customs union with the EU for most goods. Making all of those a red line means "A custom relationship with the EU, like Norway" is impossible. | |

Labour needs a 10 year project to sort out the UK. Some of that is a minefield of contracts and vested interests. Some will require primary legislation. None of it has easy, quick answers. But they also have to get through the next 6-12 months. The challenge is to do the tactical stuff without ruining the strategic stuff. | |
