Back to work during the start of the 2nd wave! One year older, catching a cold and in the mood to look back. *Swearing*

I celebrate my birthday while cases and the R value rise. *Swearing*

The Rule of 6 has so many holes in it you wonder whether it'll halt any covid spread. Starmer shows up the sausage at PMQs and Bob Woodward can still get a huge scoop that makes headlines around the world. *Swearing*

I give an on-the-ground debrief moments after stepping out of work for the first time since March, cases are rising while testing has collapsed, and Augusto sends a report from Italy. *Swearing*

With a rise in confirmed cases of 2988 - over 1000 more than Saturday's - the UK is at the start of its 2nd wave. The R value is above 1, people are not social distancing and all schools, colleges and universities have not yet opened. The UK government continue to fail us. This will get worse, quickly. *Swearing*

We thread the latest news through a bunch of numbers, Mancock gets weird, Biden gets angry and Porchoice asks an excellent question. *Swearing*

PMQs is tasty this week, as tasty as Trump's riot soup. *Swearing*

Cross immunity may well partly be responsible for Asia accounting for only 8% of global deaths. Meanwhile I talk about the extreme first aiders to strange bar staff. *Swearing* The paper on cross immunity is here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306987720317874

After a stressful week dodging covids we report on rising cases and potential cross-immunity from other coronaviruses. *Swearing* Dr John Campbell's YouTube channel is here: https://youtu.be/L0ygkjSKNXI

Open day at my son's nursery becomes a thrill ride in dodging covids! Plus, Sausage Johnson wants to make it easier too sale people who work from home! *Swearing*
