Image: The first person to receive the vaccine. Elizabeth Peek, @LizPeek, Fox News and TheHill; in re: John Batchelor in Azerbaijan watching the war brought to a halt by a ceasefire. The global pandemic and the recovery from it. Spectacular news from London: a 90-year-old grandmother was the first to receive the vaccine. This country cannot recover unless we recover from Covid; lockdowns are not working. Ninety per cent of the population are now wearing masks. Last week, Christmas tree sales were up 29%. This week, up 30%. Retailers think online sales will be up 20-30%, but even brick and mortar is holding its own. Could all end if Cuomo, et al., close down businesses. “Please—wait till after Christmas!”
