decent blog here
I was up at the stone circle last night. What the blog has missed out is the hilarity of a steward attempting to put out a huge fire with several cans of coke.
It's been a fantastic weekend for anyone that's on the fence about it. Not a patch on the real thing but I'll take what I can get this year!

Do seetickets not have a customer services phone number anymore? I need to switch weekends that we're going which seems fine under the t&c's but not heard any reply through emails.

Have you been anywhere before or after the cup final or mixed with others?
If so, then what's the point of the exercise. You could pick it up anywhere in mean time not at or travelling to / from the event
You could account for that by comparing it to the average infection rate in the general public. It's not going to be perfect but if the infection rate was 10 times higher than the local area then you'd see it had caused a spike in cases. Equally, you could have 100 people test positive, but if that is what you would expect from the local rate then it wouldn't point to an issue from the event.

So in 6 weeks out of 1.85 million vaccinated people 79 have died? If that's true I would suggest the vaccines are not working that well, to put it into a UK context, if everyone in the UK all 65 million were vaccinated we would have 2765 dead in 6 weeks, that's 460 per week 66 per day, that's not that much better than what we've got now.

Winter respiratory disease fades as winter ends, what a shock!
The Thames was frozen 4 days ago, pretty sure it's still winter.

After reading some articles about policies to open up society after the vulnerable have been vaccinated and I think that could be quite a lot slower then I'd thought it would.
Hospitalisations amongst under 65's are significantly lower then the older groups but they're not zero. There's also a lot more of us, about 32 million aged 18-65.
Current hospital rate is 260 per 100k for 18-64. Even with the vulnerable vaccinated 18-64's could still pose a significant hospital burden.
If you remove restrictions the total % of people infected at one time will increase. That's currently 2% ( 1 in 50) but if there were no mitigation if it shot up to say 10% of people (number arbitrarily chosen) aged 18-64 at a rate of 260 hospitalisations per 100k that would equate to about 8,300 people in hospital, or the level of hospitalisation seen about a week before lockdown #2.
Someone check my maths please but it's currently but a dampner on my thoughts that we'd have significantly fewer onerous restrictions by Easter.
Phase 1 of the vaccine includes people in the 18-64 age group that have serious underlying health conditions. I would have thought/hoped that that would cut down on the hospitalisation rate for that age group drastically.

What I’m wondering about is how they are going to tax the furloughed people fairly. I was off for 4 months getting paid by the government to sit in doing nothing. I’m definitely expecting a tax increase in order for the government to get that money back.
Nothing is ever free in a Tory government. What will annoy me though is if they just put blanket tax rises on everyone regardless of whether they were furloughed or not or stealth taxes by increasing the tax rate of other everyday items.
Why should the burden fall just on those that were unlucky enough to be furloughed? A lot of those have been made redundant in the past month before the new extension so not sure how you would even go about taxing just those that benefited more.
It seems like something we should all be paying for anyway, if it even needs to be. In the same way that we shouldn't raise taxes on just those that caught Covid to pay for the extra NHS costs.

Yes, they were plenty of people with glass there, an odd sight compared to the festival! There was glass bottle recycling around the site so they were clearly happy with it.
