Yesterday.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA.

Nurse manager Tiffany Dover had been giving a press briefing from CHI Memorial Hospital about her team being among the first to take the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine when, about 17 minutes in, she collapsed and was grabbed by two doctors who were standing nearby.

Meanwhile…

“We would not at all be surprised to see, coincidentally, vaccination happening and then having someone pass away a short time after they receive a vaccine, not because it has anything to do with the vaccination but just because that’s the place where people at the end of their lives reside.

“One of the things we want to make sure people understand is that they should not be unnecessarily alarmed if there are reports, once we start vaccinating, of someone or multiple people dying within a day or two of their vaccination who are residents of a long-term care facility. That would be something we would expect, as a normal occurrence, because people die frequently in nursing homes.”

Dr. Kelly Moore, associate director of the US Immunization Action Coalition, which is supporting frontline workers who will administer Covid-19 vaccinations.

Behold: the Lamborghini SC20 track car – a bespoke one-off build for a private customer, combining styling cues from the Diablo VT Roadster, Veneno, and Concept S.

Powered by a 759bhp, 6.5 litre V12 and most likely capable of sub-3 second 0-100km/h and a top speed of 360+km/h, the buyer, destination country and build cost remain undisclosed.

Until yer man rocks up at the golf club and then no one will hear the end of it.

Yesterday. But probably no happier today.

A narrow beam of radio waves was picked up during 30 hours of observations by the Parkes telescope in Australia

At last there’s some good news this year
As there may be some aliens near
So if proof if seen
Let’s give Earth a clean
Before our new neighbours get here
