That's very much in line with what was being said almost 18 months ago.

My mind boggles that we don't know for sure what it is.

The ZOE Covid numbers are still dropping, though, but that may be, as always, a reflection of their data set which I suspect doesn't have a lot of school-age children.

Let's hope.

Jesus mate, if you're spotting these errors that easily, they should be being stopped long before publication. Have you contacted them?

Always the damned numbers.
