    I was becoming worried on Covid complaceny. The potential (and it still is only potential) of the Omicron variant has raised this worry. In this weekend's Spectator essay, I have laid out what I think we need to do as we live with endemic Covid.

    Data Gumbo has won the ADIPEC Oil and Gas Start Up Company of the Year. Of course the smart contacts that typically deliver around a 10% saving for the buyer, should apply just as well outside Oil and Gas.

    This is in the Uk and globally too.

    I said it in Jan-Feb and I’ll say it again… A high infection rate in a partially-vaccinated population is the PERFECT recipe for selective breeding of vaccine-resistant strains. This irresponsible govt is not just a danger to us, but to the world.

    Variants threatens the route out of lockdown. Vaccinations limited by supply. Those who have had Covid seem really well protected after only one jab. So, should they consider delaying their second jab so others can have first shot earlier? via

    Well done HMG on the Anti-Viral taskforce. Sad it was not April 2020. Illustrates the "need for speed" in beating Covid. In fact in that Feb article (repeating point from Jan piece) I said we needed to step our approach to treatments. via

    “The speed which vaccines and therapeutics such as dexamethasone have been identified and deployed against has been critical to the pandemic response. The Taskforce will help ensure the most promising antivirals are available for deployment as quickly as possible.” - PV

    It's not clear that we can suppress Covid with vaccines on their own. Covid, and especially the new variants, have very high transmission. We need mass testing, at least for a while if we are to unlock fully. via

    Despite the huge success of the UK's vaccine programme, 37% of over 70-year olds of African origin have not been vaccinated. We could have a death rate amongst this group as we unlock that we later deeply regret. via

    The Moonshot of mass testing might be about to finally launch properly. Treatments, vaccines and testing will together be our way out.

    A great piece about Data Gumbo, the internet of things, blockchain start up, I chair. We have now gone public that our smart contracts and IIT devices can be used to measure a carbon footprint.

    This was a difficult piece to write. Not just around the current situation though this is shocking. But also understanding the challenge we face at Easter even if we manage to vaccinate all those at-risk. via

    Great news for Data Gumbo, the Internet of Things and Blockchain Smart Contract startup that I chair. Forbes have just given us the Disruptive Innovator in their 2020 Energy Awards.

    While the news on Vaccines is good, mass rapid testing and treatments are what we need for the next few months. See my latest piece in the Spectator. via

    Latest piece. I realised that British companies and universities are some of the leading players globally in the fight against Covid. That's a feel good story in these rather grim times. via
