Not a chance.

Oh yes and hopefully vaccine passports are introduced too

[PVA]

Then the next one and the one after that?

I assume you are taking the piss though.

I'm as desperate for 21st June as everyone else but if they say, for example, an extra two weeks lockdown just to make sure we're clear of it then it's worth it. No point getting this far only to fuck it up at the last minute.

 

[shmmeee]

Really hope he’s just doing this so keep expectations down, can’t see anything to suggest we should be locked down longer than planned.

Can’t find vaccination rate stats anywhere? Are we at capacity?

Purely anecdotal but the vaccination centre near me has barely been open for weeks. The question isn't about capacity, it might be about supplies

Yeah then another few weeks.

Next think we know it's autumn again. Maybe throw in a new variant.

It isn't something that is going to go away, we need to learn to live with it.

They must have heard me as I've just had a message from the GP to invite me for my vaccination

 

[shmmeee]

Looking at that link seems we’re still pretty high in overall doses given weekly.

I was shocked at how fast paced it is.

I was there less than 2 minutes before I had the jab. They had a big box full of them and were just going at it like robots.

Yeah, the booking system gave slots of every 2 minutes. I'm having the Pfizer one it seems.

Its Sage that are to blame for that, the way they go about Scaremongering is disgraceful. They don't live in the real world and think locking down is the only solution to it all.

Hopefully Boris doesn't cave in.

 

[David O'Day]

Yet SAGE want to keep us locked away even with the figures so well / vaccine working against the indian variant! Its crazy.

no it's not as deaths are not the only concern - increased hospitalisation lead to reduced capacity in other areas leading to deaths in other wards.

Hospitalisations are going up

Nice to see a couple of Coventrians on Sky news

COVID-19: 'Don't be too exuberant' - Caution urged as lockdown eases but end of restrictions in June 'still very likely'

Kwasi Kwarteng defends the decision to ease the lockdown amid fears the Indian variant could derail England's final roadmap step.

You are right DOD. I agree with Sage and think we should lockdown for the rest of the year.

I’m at the stage now where if you have refused to have a vaccine deal with it yourself. I’m going for a pint.

Oh yeah, if people refuse it then lock those cunts up and let everybody else get back to life, back to reality,

Nah, don’t lock them up but no whinging if you get it.

 

[jordan210]

Some facts about spend

Approximately 2.9 Million per life lost, give or take, or 83k per case.

Pint down the city arms sounds good!

 

[hill83]

I’ll be down there in a bit hopefully,

 

[Nick]

I meant as in lockdown.

Thing is, the people shouting they won't get it will be the ones running campaigns to close the pubs.

Decent over the weekend outside to be fair.

 

[hill83]

I ordered some of those rapid tests off the NHS website on Thursday evening at 6:30pm and they were delivered the next day at 9:00am.
Good going that is. Did a couple of the tests over the weekend before going out.

Ccfcisparks and O drivel will be the ones heading the campaigns

I ended up in Bedworth (don't ask) on Saturday, needed a break from the City Arms, been there about 10 times since it opened back up.

Where's open in Bedworth? ha Down the griff?

We ended up over your way, those burgers from the Royal Oak place are decent.

Old Royal Oak, half decent to be fair. I didn't have a clue what was going on half the time, different world over there.
Yeah the Oak in Earlsdon is good.
Better than the cottage anyway where it's £5.30 for a pint of Guinness the cheeky bastards. Rubbish pint as well.

£5.30? I'd have told them to keep it
