Take off those rose-colored glasses:

The head of the UK vaccine task force told the FT only half the population would get a corona immunisation. Germany plans to roll it out to everyone – but that could take years. https://t.co/5HB1nUs1H2

Manchester now has the worst Covid infection rate in the country.

Victoria’s 13 most recent coronavirus “mystery” cases are spread across 12 different Melbourne postcodes. They don't count towards October 19, but do highlight the challenge we face meeting the reopening thresholds. The 15 cases today do count. #springst https://t.co/05kmaz7LAj
