The UK has become the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine, paving the way for mass vaccination.
Britain's medicines regulator, the MHRA, says the jab, which offers up to 95% protection against Covid-19 illness, is safe to be rolled out.
The first doses are already on their way to the UK, with 800,000 due in the coming days, Pfizer said. | |

A “return to normal” is a comforting promise to the winners of the world.
The impossible yet irresistible pandemic-related question: When will things get back to normal? In a recent interview with the University of Melbourne, Dr. Anthony Fauci attempted to answer the question, saying that if “normal” is getting people back in the movie theaters, restaurants, and stadiums, it could be as late as 2022. But he hedged, “It really depends on what you mean by normal.”
So what is normal? Is it just returning to the smoking heap of 2019? If you were then living paycheck to paycheck, are we trying to return you to this hellish budgetary treadmill? What if you were already falling behind on your mortgage, riding the bleeding edge of foreclosure? Or possibly, if you are a scion of Sam Walton and got much wealthier during the pandemic, would a return to normalcy bump you back down the Forbes list? Look at normal long enough, and it begins to look a lot like a comforting word for the winners of the world.
The current health crisis is violent, uncaring, and unpredictable, and when it is over, it will be great to no longer worry about killing your parents by breathing on them. But far beyond that, the magnitude and duration of the pain is within our power to control; it takes on specific political dimensions: Will we invest in widespread tracing programs, top up workers’ lost incomes, and make loans available to cities struggling from a drop in tourism? We’ve faced similar situations in the recent past, and looking to them can give us a guide to how uneven a recovery can be, and just how long the effects can last. | |

It’s pretty embarrassing that the left does not accept people like Rahm Emanuel and Neera Tanden because they’re actually super-dee-duper progressive if you ignore their history of thwarting progressive policies at every opportunity. | |

Back in September of 2019, a 600+ foot cargo ship called the MV Golden Ray, which was apparently loaded in an unstable fashion with over 4,000 cars, capsized in St. Simons Sound just off the port of Brunswick, Georgia. Since then, responders have been working to remove the ship in sections to send the hulk to the scrapper. November was particularly exciting, as workers used a chain to cut off the first enormous chunk of ship, revealing mangled cars within. Here’s at look at the fascinating way the team pulled this off. | |

More than 300,000 farmers marched from the states of Punjab and Haryana – on foot and in convoys of tractors – at the weekend to reach the Indian capital for what they described as a “decisive battle” with the central government. | |

The first detailed 30cm radio map of the southern sky - which includes everything a telescope can see from its location in the Southern Hemisphere - was Sydney University's Molonglo Sky Survey. Completed in 2006, this survey took almost a decade to observe 25 percent of the entire sky and produce final data products.
Our team at CSIRO's Astronomy and Space Science division has smashed this record by surveying 83 percent of the sky in just ten days. | |
