    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    You might need to study maths a little more. Or at least think about the timeframes involved. What are you trying to compare? Even a 1 in 500 chance of "youngsters" dying sounds high to me if they happen to be my youngster. And I'm pretty sure you don't have a 1 in 500 chance of getting in a...

    It doesn't work like that. Say 82 of the 164 had taken the vaccine and 82 the placebo. That's 0% efficacy (completely useless), not 50%.

    Japan bubble watch: 782 new cases across 37 of Japan's 47 prefectures yesterday (generally the slowest day of the week) including 200 in Hokkaido, 157 in Tokyo, and 78 in Osaka. We won't be in any sort of bubble with them any time soon.
