    For me what is important about these developments, is that they offer a collective way of responding to global health problems. There is a wealth of literature in international relations derived from the so-called 'Realist' or 'Power' perspective that argues States only act in their own interest. They undermine international cooperation be it the EU, the UN, or famous flops like the League of Nations. Yet the argument that States that trade with each other don't go to war with each other has strong credentials, that the First World War was not caused by capitalist competition, as Lenin argued, but by crucial failures of diplomacy. Throughout the 19th century there was a developing consensus that States and Empires needed to cooperate with each other to prevent the spread of diseases such as Cholera and Typhoid, and these became the foundations of international organization that Reaists are reluctant to admit worked, or rely on their claim that cooperation only worked when it was in the interests of States to do so.

    Now, with a new and very different President taking office, there is an opportunty to re-set relations with Russia and China, and indeed Iran, by tackling a global pandemic with a global agreement to share the science. It has happened with space exploration and nuclear developments, so there is no reason for the US, Europe, Russia and China to all 'go it alone' when we are all in the same trolley heading down the hill. It may look unreasonable right now, and it might not lead to China removing its handcuffs from Hong Kong and 'cleaning up' Xianjang, and I doubt Putin will withdraw his forces from Eastern Ukraine, but we have to start somewhere, and I think, at the very least, that nobody benefits from Covid-19, and we all benefit from a vaccine.

    And I think, and I hope Biden promotes a more collegiate attitude to international relations. Because confrontation doesn't work.

    Vaccines started shipping last Friday via United Cargo planes, they are positioning it ready for local distribution pending approval. This was in a WSJ article which is behind a paywall

    New Sars-CoV-2 strain emerges .I seems to be more easily transmitted but not more lethal. The big,still unanswered ,question is will the vaccines now being distributed work against this new strain?

    Another big question: will people modify or continue to modify their behaviour to help stop the spread of Covid-19 and new strains? My movements are limited to home-shop-home, with no social mixing, and nothing planned between now and -well, when? Even the other day I realized I was relucant to talk to my neighbour, who is 85, even though we were both masked and in the street. Maybe it was because I suddenly realized she had made her mask out of an old pair of Marks & Spencer knickers and it sort of made me feel queer...
