Surprised that is so high.
Into my second thread on hold.
Basically, almost anywhere south of the main town, Volos (which is hideous: avoid) is beautiful. There are a few tacky resorts but they’re rare. You can either stay in the historic hill villages, or on the lush green southern coast. Do both if you can. A lovely mix

This is a gorgeous stretch of the coast tho you might meet the Johnson family

President Joe Biden spent the first months of his presidency hunkered down as he worked on getting more vaccines into people’s arms and a massive bill to deal with the pandemic to his desk.
With that $1.9 trillion legislation set to clear Congress and the pace of vaccinations picking up, the White House is preparing to embark on a new, far more public-facing phase.
Biden is scheduled to deliver his first prime-time address as president Thursday, which will focus on the Covid crisis. Later this month, he’ll hold the first press conference of his young presidency. He’s committed to making a still-unscheduled address to Congress. And officials are busy preparing for a sprawling sales campaign designed to draw attention to the benefits of the Covid-relief package. Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and others will hit the road to tout, among other things: the $1,400 checks, how billions of dollars in the bill will reopen schools, and the investments being made in increasing the numbers of vaccinations.
“There are a lot of people who use the term ‘victory lap’ in a derogatory way. I’ve already heard people saying that Biden is about to take a victory lap. Well, that’s a lot of crap,” said House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), a close Biden ally. “One of the—if not the biggest—mistakes that Obama made, in my opinion, was getting the Recovery Act done and not explaining to people what he had done.”
But in 2015, the original was the most potent single political image in decades.
Awful

No big deal obviously. I don't mind. Bet Phil doesn't either.
Course if Meghan did either the Press would be all over her.
Time to seriously think about escalating lifting lockdown. May is far too late to be reopening indoors, the vaccines and T&T have stopped this wave so let us get back to our lives.

Vaccines.
If Trump had televised his and Melania's vaccine shots, he could despite everything be taking some of the credit too.
In any event, it's not going to be very long until discussion moves on to what should be done with the large vaccine surpluses, both there and here.
Honestly, I think some of them need to have their heads examined by professionals.
You can see the earlier second doses in the data. In Wales they've done 200,000 second doses and 1 million first doses, while in England the respective figures are less than 1 million and more than 19 million.
So, I`m above should be I'm - is that right??
Investing in vaccines is the one thing he did right.
What it does mean is that the number of cases will slow this week as a result of the increased testing but next week the declines ought to increase again. This is on the presumption that the return to school does not start cause an increase in cases. I think given that about half the population has some form of immunity (vaccinations and/or previously had Covid) this should hopefully not happen.
Surely someone in his position - presumably surrounded by well connected advisors - can join the dots and stfu when required?
Perhaps he’s just an idiot.
As has been noted elsewhere, it doesn’t even make political or public health sense (even if you ignore the hysterical lies). The EU’s vaccine performance isn’t that bad. They’re behind the UK and USA but they’re now speeding up. By tantruming like this they imply the vaccine drive is a disaster. If they were upbeat and positive they’d be giving much better signals to their voters, encouraging everyone to get the jab. Madness
The facts about the funding of the AZN vaccine, and the difference of months between our contracting to purchase it and Europe doing so are not exactly hard to elucidate, either.
Re Trump and the vaccine, I imagine he'll have it but will keep the fact a secret for fear of upsetting a big chunk of his supporters. Talk about a crazy world.

They are trumpeting their program from the mountaintops but preventing the vaccinated from accessing more freedoms.
All that does is completely undermine their achievement.
All of this just before an election, when vaccines are going well, and when Covid is still obscuring any Brexit economic impact (and frankly, the amount of rebuilding and rewriting of the economy now required will serve to make Brexit as a cause of any issues a hazy memory anyway).
He’s a lucky general.
Therefore there is less social contact, even with the same, or less strict, set of formal rules.

He'll receive a huge "Covid is over earlier than expected" bounce if he does.
You'd be anticipating a Jacinda Ardern scale victory in those circumstances in English councils. London, Scotland, perhaps not so much.
Any Corbyn loyalists in the shadow Cabinet who might resign and call for Starmer to go?
Yer man's had the jab. Great big orange wuss.
I'm wary of your explanation because we had exactly the same sort of wishful thinking after the first wave - which didn't end well.
