An outbreak of Covid-19 has been confirmed on the Royal Navy's flagship, HMS Queen Elizabeth. The BBC has been told there have been around 100 cases on the aircraft carrier, which is part way through a world tour. Several other warships in the fleet accompanying it are also affected. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said all crew on the deployment had received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine (Posted with staff permission.)

Comments:

Interesting, They have been at sea since May and the crew had been completely vaccinated. What does this imply about the effectiveness of the jabs?

Given the tradition of the Royal Navy this is better than an outbreak of HIV.

OK...since EVERYONE was vaccinated and you have 100 cases then: 1. The vaccine does not prevent you from getting the virus...100 cases is a 100 cases 2. Tell us what therapeutic you are using to mitigate the symptoms: Steroids, Ivermectin, or what...the world wants to know 3. Since the sailors won't be over 45...I ASS U ME no one has died

If I recall, the vaccine doesn't necessarily mead that you won't get the virus. If you do get it, the symptoms are much milder and recovery much quicker.

Did anybody get sick? I think they need to stop and test the tests. I also think there is a group of testers with a bias that reads positive a lot.

All vaccinated, at sea for months.....and they get this virus. In theory, being vaccinated keeps you from getting infected at some 95+% level. And I presume that people were transported from land to the carrier to bring the infection aboard. It's kind of a sad little excuse for an aircraft carrier, though. It has a maximum capacity of 36 aircraft, about 1/3 what our normal aircraft carriers can carry.

One thing that also confirms is that non-vaccinated people are not the ONLY vectors or a major reason why the delta variant is infecting those who are "fully vaccinated". It may mean that the vaccine effectiveness is of very short duration. ... which is why how NOW at least Pfizer is pushing for a booster this fall. It's madness. When will the perpetrators in China , the U.S. and other countries who created this virus and unleashed on the world's populace be brought to justice for crimes against humanity. How many millions of people have they killed and how many lives of families, how many business have they destroyed. We carry on about Black Lives Matter, the December 6 "Insurrection" , NFL Players taking a knee, Antifa, the Proud Boys and we don't challenge our governments in their role in actually killing people around the globe. Shame on the Wuhan Institute of Virology, shame on U.S. researchers (like UNC researchers) who worked with WIV, shame on Fauci for lying about gain of function research and U.S. support of it. Shame on the UN and its World Health Organization for their role in this disaster.

The important factors are, how many sailors are seriously ill, how many sailors are hospitalized, and how many have died? Since they did not say, you have to figure that most cases are non sympathetic, with those sailors showing symptoms having minor illnesses such as flu like colds, with the fleet essentially coughing and carrying on.

Fully jabbed travellers returning to England and Wales from France will still have to quarantine from Monday. From 19 July, adults who have been double jabbed in the UK arriving from amber list countries will not need to isolate for 10 days. But the government said the easing would not apply to France due to "persistent" cases of the Beta variant, first identified in South Africa.

The event featured some well-known conservative personalities, but organizers were forced to cancel the rally minutes after it started. A large crowd of demonstrators gathered at UN Plaza in San Francisco to oppose a small group, holding what was billed as a free speech rally protesting what they say is Twitter's censorship of some of its content.

Game 4 of the Lakers-Heat series draws its biggest audience so far, though it's still way down from last year. The NBA Finals grew on Tuesday, and cable news had a big night pretty well across the board. The rest of primetime, however, was a mixed bag, with NBC's Weakest Link putting up decent second-week ratings but Fox's Next premiering softly. Game four of the NBA Finals delivered 7.54 million viewers and a 2.9 rating among adults 18-49 on ABC.

Andrew Yang is dropping out of the 2020 Democratic race for the White House on the same day primary voters in New Hampshire are casting their ballots. The 45-year-old entrepreneur and first time presidential candidate had hoped his signature idea of giving every American adult a universal basic income of $1,000 a month would help lift him to the White House. However, while campaigning in the second state to vote in the presidential contest, Yang decided it was time to officially call it quits.

NFL launches new ad proclaiming

The National Football League (NFL) recently joined virtually every other American institution in lauding — and marketing to — the LGBT community during Pride Month in June. It did so by releasing a new 30-second commercial proudly proclaiming that "football is gay, lesbian, queer, transgender, bisexual and exciting." The ad begins by stating "football is gay" to the sound of drums rolling and people cheering. (I'm not sure what Dick Butkus would have to say about this advertisement, but I digress.) [Tweet] The ad is in part a direct response to Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib's recent announcement that he is gay, a league spokesperson said.

WASHINGTON — Two weeks after celebrating America’s near “independence” from the coronavirus, President Joe Biden is confronting the worrying reality of rising cases and deaths — and the limitations of his ability to combat the persistent vaccine hesitance responsible for the summer backslide. Cases of COVID-19 have tripled over the past three weeks, and hospitalizations and deaths are rising among unvaccinated people. While the rates are still sharply down from their January highs, officials are concerned by the reversing trendlines and what they consider needless illness and death. And cases are expected to continue to rise in coming weeks.

The vast majority of Covid-19 anti-vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories originated from just 12 people, a report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) cited by the White House this week found. CCDH, a UK/US non-profit and non-governmental organization, found in March that these 12 online personalities they dubbed the “disinformation dozen” have a combined following of 59 million people across multiple social media platforms, with Facebook having the largest impact. CCDH analyzed 812,000 Facebook posts and tweets and found 65% came from the disinformation dozen. Vivek Murthy, US surgeon general, and Joe Biden focused on misinformation around vaccines this week

Three Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the Texas House Democratic Caucus. The three lawmakers are among House Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., earlier this week to stave off GOP priority voting bills during the special legislative session. The three members who tested positive all have been fully vaccinated, which helps protect against severe illness. On Friday night, one member tested positive for the coronavirus and immediately alerted colleagues, who, in addition to staff members, took rapid tests. On Saturday morning, two additional members tested positive after taking rapid tests. The cases were first reported by the Austin American-Statesman.

Here are the biased numbers for the recent Economist-YouGov poll that gives Joe Biden a 49% approval rating. (snip) Dem (324) Republican (235) Independent (260) Ninety-nine more Democrats sampled vs. Republicans were included in the results. It is not hard to get the results you want if the polls are assembled in this way, and this is always the method with these polls. A total of 819 from 1,500 participants. Does that mean the rest were dumped because they are not registered to vote or affiliated with a party? Were their answers included in the reported percentages?

House Democrats are trying to use a massive climate and infrastructure bill to change how Americans get around — by breaking states’ decades-old fondness for building highways. Legislation the House passed this month is the biggest advance yet in Democrats' efforts to bake climate policies into transportation, addressing the largest single contributor to the United States’ greenhouse gas output. It would also represent an historic shift away from the roads-first approach to federal transportation spending that has reigned since Dwight Eisenhower created the Interstate Highway System. But the bill is riling up opposition from two potential allies of the Democrats'
