Buckingham Palace has sometimes been nudged by the government of the day on major issues of policy but I’m told on this occasion the decision to make the intervention was the Queen’s herself https://t.co/fRICLrxdVd

The Queen says - get vaccinated.
HM: "Once you’ve had the vaccine you have a feeling of, you know, you’re protected." She adds "It is obviously difficult for people if they’ve never had a vaccine… but they ought to think about other people rather than themselves."

NHS workers have to wait for a pay rise - Sunak won't announce more cash for health staff in next week's Budget.
Chancellor adamant he must wait for independent pay board to report in May. Unions disagree.

Phenomenal quote from the chairman of the BBC. https://t.co/9pTFBCnHMk
"My son who is in New York City wore it all winter, even though he is very antimaterialistic, anticapitalist. It is discreet enough." Meet the $1000+ coat that's strong enough for a banker, but chill enough for a DSA boy. https://t.co/pCswKAUu9p

Fascinating from @ICNARC based on 31,000 ICU patients
- Just 28% of those most at risk of intensive care have been vaccinated in groups 1-4
-But this will increase to 85% once 1-9 done
-Most of the rest are men in their 40s who will be covered next if JCVI advice is followed

The number of people who've had at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine in 🇬🇧 as of yesterday is
*18,691,835*
(up 448,962 on the day before, 7-day average 324,108)
That is 28.0% of the total population

(The population figures are based on the latest available ONS estimates which are for mid-2019. It means that the % figures are inevitably a bit of an overestimate. Especially the 75-79 group, I suspect.)

Has this happened to you?
Interested to hear from anyone who has been offered the Covid vaccine and is not really sure why 🤔
Please get in touch https://t.co/fbFpKyzfyo
My story on cases of healthy people in their 20s and 30s who do not meet the eligibility criteria for getting a vaccine... but are being given them anyway

I hope Govt will re-think their plan, recognising how vital hospitality is to those employed by the industry & to the wellbeing of our communities. The UK vaccine progress means #hospitality should open sooner than roadmap suggests https://t.co/j12hgQWu3E

One year since Sage was given evidence warning of the dangers that anti-covid measures might prove 'too effective'. https://t.co/Y7IgC0ffXx

First mention of "herd immunity" in SAGE papers
An ICL paper warns that "too effective" measures merely delay transmission, and considers an alternative plan: allow the disease to spread, and "fine-tune" infections until the UK population has reached herd immunity https://t.co/z5NvMMBWq4
