The CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said Monday that the agency’s advice on travel remains the same for both vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans: Don’t do it.

Travel restrictions soon will be declared as permanent and not COVID related.

Polish Health Minister Adam Nedzielski announced the decision to introduce a self-isolation regime in the country from Saturday due to the increase in the incidence of coronavirus.

The restrictive measures will last for at least three weeks.

During this period, shopping centers, cinemas, theaters and hotels will be closed. Schools will switch to distance learning.

Not good.

The EMA Safety Committee, PRAC, at its extraordinary meeting on March 18, 2021, completed its preliminary review of reports of blood clots in people vaccinated against COVID-19 AstraZeneca and confirmed that:

• the benefits of the vaccine in combating the still widespread threat of COVID-19 (which itself leads to blood clotting problems and can be fatal) still outweigh the risk of side effects;
• the vaccine is not associated with an increased overall risk of blood clots in those who receive it;
• there is no evidence of a problem with specific vaccine batches or specific manufacturing facilities;
• however, the vaccine may be associated with very rare cases of blood clots associated with low platelet counts, including rare cases of blood clots forming in the vessels that drain blood from the brain (CVST).

These are rare cases - about 20 million people in the UK and the EU have received the vaccine as of March 16, and the EMA has only reviewed 7 cases of blood clots in multiple blood vessels (disseminated intravascular coagulation, DIC) and 18 cases of CVST. A causal relationship with the vaccine has not been proven, but is possible and deserves further analysis.

Overall, the number of thromboembolic events reported after vaccination was lower than expected in the general population. This allows the PRAC to confirm that there is no increased overall risk of blood clots. However, for younger patients, some concerns remain, in particular with these rare cases.

Germany is set to extend its latest COVID-inspired lockdown into its fifth month according to a draft proposal seen by several European media outlets. The draft says lockdown should continue until April 18 and that an “emergency brake” agreed at the last meeting will be applied to halt any further reopening measures in areas where cases are above the 100 per 100K threshold.

The draft was prepared by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s office ahead of Monday’s planned videoconference of regional and national leaders to discuss and decide on the next round of COVID measures.

"I think international travel this summer is, for the average holidaymaker, sadly I think, extremely unlikely," Tildesley, a professor of infectious disease modelling at the University of Warwick, told BBC Radio on Saturday.

All travel and tourists related business won't survive if it won't be very good summer.

“We are at the beginning of the third wave of COVID-19 in Europe. In many EU member states, the number of infections is on the rise again, mainly due to variant B.1.1.7 of the British strain of coronavirus, which is now found in almost every EU country, ”said von der Leyen.

Something tells me that they intend to make it infinite.

Google informed employees that it is planning to allow some employees back into offices next month. They send email that said "it is likely we’ll begin to welcome Googlers back to some of our U.S. offices on a voluntary basis."

Alphabet now hope to take part in forming next coronavirus wave as otherwise it can bee too weak.

Quarantine restrictions in effect in 19 departments in France will apply to the entire country from this Saturday, President Emmanuel Macron said in a televised address to the nation.

These measures will be in effect for four weeks.

"The school timetable will be adapted so as not to leave our children alone. Specifically, this means that next week school classes will be held at home," the French leader added.

He specified that a two-week spring break will begin on April 12.

Since March 20, 16 French departments, including the Paris region, have been quarantined, but with more flexible rules than during the previous two lockdowns. A week later, these measures were introduced in three other departments.

There are closed shops that do not sell essential goods, travel between regions is limited.

Since the end of October, cafes, restaurants, bars, cultural institutions - museums, theaters, cinemas have been closed in the country.

In France we are so far far away from that...

US deaths from vaccines

The South African variant of the coronavirus is notably more adept at “breaking through” the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine than other variants are, Israeli scientists have found, in a first-of-its-kind real-world study.

The prevalence of the South African strain among vaccinated individuals who were infected despite their inoculation was eight times higher than its prevalence in the unvaccinated infected population.

The results show that the South African variant, compared to the original strain and the British variant, “is able to break through the vaccine’s protection.” However, she said that the sample size is too small to put a figure on its increased ability.

“We can say it’s less effective, but more research is needed to establish exactly how much,” she said.
