Meeting notes

Dear BBC News,

Can we today have a more proactive approach to finding out about Covid in this country ?  Has Blackburn peaked ?  If so, is it because of more jabs, more tests, or more self-isolation ?  Don't you, with your base in MediacityUK, think it's worth reporting that both Salford and Manchester now have a higher rate of infection than Bolton ?  

Raising our eyes to the European horizon, might it be worth a line on, say, Hungary, where 61,000 fans packed the Puskas Stadium yesterday, to watch the defeat to Portugal ?  Reuters estimate that 48% of the adult population has been vaccinated, largely with products from Russia and China. The average number of new infections per day over the past seven days - 128.  The average number of new infections per day in the UK over the past seven days - 7,497. 

Yrs, etc
