    Not from what I have read. I think if its Latitude it will be the full 40k capacity as a trial. 

    The testing is free as you are part of the pilot and the research is invaluable 

    Caved in and bought ticket. Might be the only festival I get to this year if it goes ahead. EoTR in the balance .

    If it gets binned though I've got a festival overload in 2022 with rolled over events.......

  3. Music Festivals given go ahead from late May...

    If I had a car, I'd have a ticket and be in exactly the same mindset! Enjoy!

    (I swear when I went there was definitely music til 2/3am including some live stuff but that was so long ago I can't say for sure)

     

    Decided to chance it and bought ticket

    I'm driving down solo and will passing Leeds coming down the A1 (M)  on my right if you need a lift on the Thursday morning. Plenty of room in a big car if you need it. No cost.

    What is the score with these tests events? Is there an extra outlay for the pre and post tests and subsequent analysis on top of the ticket price?

    All seems a bit vague from what I have read. 

    Tempted to have a punt but too much potential arsing around (plus that pig of a drive to Henham) is stopping me at the moment......

    ‘Only people that vote for the same things I do know what they’re talking about 😡’

    Nope. Paton and his other loon friends are all part of the so called 'Health Advisory and Recovery Team', another Tufton Street dark money funded disinformation outfit that has members like the fake 'Prof' Karol Sikora and  Clare Craig, plus other signatories to the Great Barrington Declaration. 

    Like Fake Sage but shitter.

    Some people are following real alt right rabbit hole accounts.

    weren't the Warwick Uni models done in May, and obviously open to massive uncertainty...but what can you do? The models and forecasts are what they are, these aren't made by maniac introverted pro lockdown crazies, but by scientists and mathematicians.

    I do remember there was a lot of derision in spring 2020 on here when some US modellers predicted 60k deaths in UK by the autumn....

    Writer/columnist/contributor at The Spectator, SpikedOnline, Conservative Home, Conservative Woman, Daily Mail, GBNews, Brexit Party campaigner. Who follows these weirdos?

    A higher proportion of our nation is now vaccinated in comparison to the US yet our attitude is predominately negative. What on earth is going on in the UK? I’m speechless about it.

    Why is it negative?

    Strikes me that the general feeling, loons and nutters aside, is that we're being quite pragmatic. 

    They always suggested between 65-75% would need to be vacccinated before full reopening, and now were are so nearly there. Why balls it up when we are so close. Late summer will be great............

    Why are the CDC unphased about the delta variant?

    Unfazed - nah. They're worried.

    Scientists in the United States are anxiously watching the Delta variant of Covid-19, as it spreads through an unevenly vaccinated American public and an economy that is rapidly reopening.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/16/delta-variant-coronavirus-us

    The CDC began calling it a variant of concern last week

    I've no idea why he lied, it could be any numerous amount of reasons (if this is true).

    Alternatively the story comes from The Telegraph via Politicsforall, and has been denied by DHSC, so there's a very good chance the story is fabricated shite.

    Political shenanigans .

    Just to cheer up the taffs:

    Covid: Wales at start of third wave, warns first minister

    A third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic is already under way leaving Wales facing a "serious public health situation", the first minister said.

    Mark Drakeford said Wales may be two or three weeks behind England and Scotland in rising case numbers.

    He confirmed his decision to pause making major relaxations to coronavirus rules for four weeks.

    Japanese Govt Covid adviser recommends no fans to be allowed at the upcoming Olympics. 

    Not sure if the IOC/Japanese Government will be happy but that will be some weird shit watching athletics in an empty stadium.

    Nah youre just being a prick. But have at it.

    Calm down petal. For someone who was arguing the finer points of exponential growth it's pointless debating any material differences between ten thousand and tens of thousands as statistics can be misleading.

    The only point I was making was that Covid deaths have in no way been equitable to flu deaths, but the flu death figure on average seems relatively low on an average yearly basis to what I had previously believed.

    10s of thousands.... 10k average a year is 10s of thousands. But feel free to be that guy..... 

    Just looking for a bit of accuracy as opposed to hyperbole.

    The average according to Oxford Uni is 600 p.a.

    I keep seeing this thing about a vast number of flu deaths annually and wasn't sure. Had a look and we don't have 10s of thousands of deaths annually. To me that would indicate 20k plus as a norm.

    Even in the 2008/9 flu outbreak there were apparently 14,222 deaths attributed to flu. The lowest was 4,253 in 2007/8.(E&W only)

    128,000 odd kind of shades those figures.

    For the geeks, here's the model used:

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3859479/

    Even more surprising from a pretty convincing source:

    In the UK it is estimated that an average of 600 people a year die from complications of flu. In some years it is estimated that this can rise to over 10,000 deaths (see for example this UK study from 2013 , which estimated over 13,000 deaths resulting from flu in 2008-09).
