Without clicking on the link is it The Oak Inn acting likes dicks again? Covid's probably the least of your worries if you drink in there.

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.

Knowing my luck they’ll postpone it until the day after the one that matters...

1979 confirmed cases yesterday. 7 day rolling average...up 1.1% on last week

Very worrying

Very worrying

Are you on the wind up in this thread or serious?

 

[wingy]

What was it a month ago ,around 2.2 k per day?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

1979 confirmed cases yesterday. 7 day rolling average...up 1.1% on last week

It has been at that level for weeks?

 

[CCFCSteve]

Yep ! Basically suggesting that whilst there’s a bit of panic and modellers (media) predicting 6k-10k hospitalisation a day, at present there’s little change. Fingers crossed it stays that way !

Edit - cant see overall latest hospitalisations but PHE (England only) still showing daily net decrease (798 in hospital with Covid across the country). North West is staying flat but no surge at the moment

 

[wingy]

Wouldn't surge testing to play a part with total's.?

 

[CCFCSteve]

Yeah, potentially you’d expect higher case numbers im guessing....but currently flat(ish)

Toddy is still operating just round the corner from me.
First cut in around five months last week,just a fiver to his best customer's.
Good enough for the City players ,good enough for this balding old fart.

Poor old lad caught this crap thing just after Christmas and got over it at home .

What the Hell is a weird flex?

 

[wingy]

Good news from GSK/Sanofi today.
97%+ efficacy in trials.
Stage 3 trials Upcoming.
Might be useful as a booster if in time.
Based on same technique used for flu vaccine,so adaptable to the season it's given I assume.

Not great news on Novavax

Novavax shares sink after it again delays timelines for seeking regulatory approval for its Covid vaccine (cnbc.com)

Should've just bought a bottle of Tanqueray and took her round the back of the bike sheds

 

[fernandopartridge]

Some facts about spend

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

How many jobs has it sustained is the more important measure

 

[robbiekeane]

Seeing a lot of references in reports to elderly people who haven't taken up the chance to get a vaccine. Is this due to logistics of actually getting it administered or is it because choosing not to get it?

If it's the latter, isn't it a case of stuff them, then? Can't expect the world to wait around forever if you're not going to take your opportunity to get a vaccine.

Then again if they still take up space in ICUs...

Could be housebound elderly, though I'd have assumed that alternative arrangements are made for them

Really good thread on why the Indian variant might not be that concerning. You have to read it all, hard to find a couple of tweets that capture the essence:

If you know your nhs number it’s worth going on the vaccine booking site to see if you can book. I’m 37 so I can’t book if I don’t know my number.
If I put that I do know my number it lets me in to book.

If you don't know your number you can probably get it from the NHS app (the regular one not the covid one). When you sign up for that if you don't have your NHS number you can put your full name, date of birth and postcode in and it should find you and give you the number.
