    Record Breaking

    Health authorities in the UK have reported 41,385 new positive coronavirus tests, the highest number yet recorded in a single day since the start of the pandemic.

    But at least we can also read about German efficiency -

    Germany’s vaccination campaign has been overshadowed by a mishap in the north of the country, where eight workers in a care home received an overdose.

    Vorpommern-Ruegen district authorities said the workers in Stralsund city received five times the recommended dose of the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine on Sunday. Four went to hospital for observation after developing flu-like symptoms. The district chief Stefan Kerth said:

    I deeply regret the incident. This individual case is due to individual errors. I hope that all those affected do not experience any serious side-effects.

    The incident came after some German districts declined to use vaccines received over the weekend on suspicion that cold conditions were interrupted during delivery.

    Vorpommern-Ruegen authorities pointed to previous statements by BioNTech saying larger doses were tested in the phase 1 study without serious consequences. There was no immediate comment from the pharmaceutical companies.

                Still no testing near me and vaccinations were stopped on day two due to vaccine shortages. My vaccination is scheduled for the 4th Jan but I am expecting it to be cancelled. Big mouth Borris lies again.
