Ozanne Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 It looks like the Prince Philip thing has come from a screenshot of a WhatsApp message. Surely a hoax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clearly not happening, and having this weird event happening that was supposed to be exciting being undercut by the fact that is was total fantasy made it all a bit horrible. Now we're heading towards a new normal, heads down for a few months while we weather the storm. It's going to be brutal, but it's becoming a little less uncertain, at least in the short term.

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I had it on a few WhatsApp messages. There was one about the queen a few months back too. People say they have heard it from a few sources, basically everyone has forwarded on the same WhatsApp message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will also be the last ones to close too. I always make a point of being polite. It does strike me that people can get a bit snippy with people providing things that make them better. Imagine getting an E of your dealer and pulling that shit. You'd get a clip around the ear at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pentura Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Gutted about the fest this year and bittersweet feelings about the tickets rolling over. I'm lucky in that I have one, but I know some who are so dedicated to the fest will probably have even less of a chance than normal, depending on the number of tickets returned. The Eavii made the right decision in the end. Peas and love to everyone who didn't secure tickets for 2020, I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunities to get some for next year! 2021 is gonna be a blinder!

Cooter Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Not sure about glasto-workers views but we are n the very early stages of this thing and nobody knows where it's going to take us. Hopefully this time next year it'll be long gone but I also have my doubts. Everyday life may become easier but with no vaccine on the horizon the risk factors may still be there regarding self distancing and crowds. edit, sorry!

Ozanne Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hopefully we can all get on top of it in the next few months, the summer heat might help and then in time a vaccine will come out. In honour of the 100%er crew I’m gonna try to be hopeful about it all 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For comparison, Germany (with a slightly bigger population) has 25,000 critical care beds as standard, and can (and is) ramp-up to 50,000. And when the UK did a pandemic simulation in 2016 and discovered it needed to have many more respirators in reserve.... it did absolutely fuck all. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a retired University of London lecturer and for some period of time I used to teach statistician's who were doing their PhD's and many were using Predictive analytics so I know how crucial it is to input all the correct data and as far as I can see no one in the UK has the correct data so any predictions are bound to be flawed - everyone should keep in their head GIGO {garbage in, garbage out} I hope I am wrong but we may find that in 12 months time 'we may still be in uncharted waters' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splatt Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I Too have doubts over 2021. Can’t see this being resolved anytime soon and would the festival really commit to another round of ticket sales, booking acts and everything else which must come at a cost until they could be pretty confident the event could run next year. I certainly don’t think we’ll have that level of assurance by October for the normal ticket selling window. Also surely insurance that any of the companies involved in putting the festival together take out will now likely exclude pandemic/Coronavirus events - until suitable insurance was available could they even contemplate the event going ahead. I dunno. Edited March 19, 2020 by Splatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember rightly I worked it from hospitalisation as 14 days for 5% of cases needing critical care (which is a best-case guess - I'm not claiming huge accuracy).
