For the avoidance of doubt, the EU asked the court to force AZ to deliver 120 million doses by the end of June. The court has in fact ruled that AZ must deliver 20 million; AZ says it will in fact have delivered substantially more than 80 million doses by that date.
Ursula Von Der Lying has inexplicably claimed that all of this somehow amounts to an endorsement of the EU’s argument. In fact, all the court has really done is to quantify what “best effort” should look like - and as AZ has already exceeded this, if the court has endorsed anything, it is AZ’s position.

What a bunch of simpleton pricks. (No, I am not talking about the vaccines).
Did the corrupted EU just forget there, that we are no longer in their grasps and do not have to do a damn thing they say anymore?

Re: Coronavirus
My wife just had a notification from her iPhone COVID-19 app - she had been in close contact with someone who tested positive on Thursday.
So, she will be self-isolating until one minute to midnight Sunday 27th June, and we are off to get a PCR test at 2pm today (both of us, even though I haven't been contacted).
Luckily (unless the PCR test comes back positive), I don't have to self-isolate, so the dog will still get walked - no trip to my daughter's tomorrow for Fathers Day, though, as I won't leave my wife on her own while I get treated to lunch.

Covid in Scotland: Nicola Sturgeon defends Manchester travel ban
Scotland's first minister has defended the ban on non-essential travel with Manchester and Salford after an angry reaction from the area's mayor.
Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham accused the Scottish government of "hypocrisy" over the move.
But Nicola Sturgeon said the decision was a public health measure, based on Covid levels in the area.
Opposition politicians in Scotland said there had been a lack of consistency and a lack of consultation.
However, Ms Sturgeon - who received her second vaccination in Glasgow on Monday - said she had a "duty" to keep Scotland as safe as possible.

This is "living with the virus" in action. The fact that some will contract the virus and go on to infect others isn't deemed to be relevant as long as it's not too many people at once.

Re: Coronavirus
I guess the daily tests will identify most infected people before they start retransmitting it.

Well, yes. And a lot of dying of viruses too over those same 20,000 years.
A hugely successful vaccination programme - like that in Israel - could see the numbers having to isolate be tiny, giving testing, tracing and isolation an excellent chance at keeping numbers low.

I've not had a cold for over a year, a first. There's a lot to be said for social distancing. People are either smelly or noisy or infectious or boring, best to steer clear anyway
