Benn. Everyone knew him for miles.
Must be dead now?🤔
Old Ben is still alive apparently and stays at Hunstanton in the summer where he has a house.. Everyone around here knows him it seems. A friend told me he does car boot sales and when asked the price of things he seems quite nonchalant and replies "pay me what you want, it is all crap anyway". Quite a character.

So this morning I see Israel, the most vaccinated country in the world, is seeing exponential increase in Delta variant infections. Indoor mask reintroduced. WTF?
Are we ever going to get out of this?

I was going to say - Portugal Resident ?? Seems a very informed and scientific article - not
A British Report , where is this report :unsure:
Seems it's originally from a Swiss report but also reported in several other places as Germany now considers Portugal as a dangerous place to visit, looks like it's the very unlucky few who could be prone to this weakness & susceptible, given how the Indian version ended up here so quickly compared with the rest of the EU we have a lot to hold Bozo responsible for!
Bet it will be an interesting conversation when Merkle meets Bozo again this week.

The original story seams to come from a Swiss fake news site, so probably rubbish.
The figures quoted in the linked article would be scary IF true.
