Thank you again for your analysis. I am so grateful that you keep us up to date so that we can ensure we are protecting ourselves as far as we can. I just wish the Government took public health seriously. I’ve fought a losing battle with my family now to protect themselves!

I managed to catch Covid at the start of the May wave (well 20th April), even though levels were supposedly low. And I know of loads of people who have Covid at the moment in Scotland. Is the data still working and were we all unlucky? My friend in Scotland knows of 4 other people who have it outside her family of 3 and says its also going around their local police station (Edinburgh area) and my other friend who has it is in Glasgow and is a member of the Covid Action group (so was usually careful like me!). I've seen recent graphs for Spain showing it is rising sharply also!

Such a relief to be able to find information on whether Covid infections are increasing or decreasing. Thank you. I gladly pay my TV licence fee and wish the BBC would use it to give this public service information

V. useful as usual look-ahead and thanks for digesting the politics. Sad to see locally N. England cancer survivor friend with Parkinsons at 73 not called for a booster.

I just wanted to thank you for your advice to buy a booster if I could. I had asked you about them before you went on holiday. I was about to seek out and receive (me and husband) Novovax boosters.

We have now both had 3 different types of booster/vaccination since all this began. Is there any benefit to getting a variety of different manufacturers products over time or does that not make much difference? I felt as if I may be covering more bases by getting boosters etc from different manufacturers rather than always sticking with one brand. But I don't know if that's true or not.

Thank you for this! Apologies for nitpicking but I just wanted to point out that the snip you show from Labour says that they will 'respond to the findings of the [...] Covid-19 enquiry' rather than committing to implement them - it's a small thing, but in political party-speak it sounds like not much of a commitment to me!
