Germany is seeking advice on whether to delay giving the second dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to make supplies go further, in a similar move to the UK, according to a document seen by the Reuters news agency.

The country's health ministry has asked an independent vaccination commission for its opinion on administering the second shot later than 42 days after the first.

Ha! That'll fuck with their heads.

The UK has the data from the *approved* AZ vaccine to use as an indicator for one-dosing the pfizer vaccine, whereas Germany would essentially just be guessing.

Right, but Londoners who travelled before the lockdown was announced (the vast majority of people I know) to the regions/outside of the city wouldn't show up on this anyway as it's London specific. So the actual damage caused by people travelling for xmas won't be in London itself but wherever they go. 

Yeah exactly, case numbers are rising around the country too. I shared a tweet last night which indicates we are starting to the results of Christmas mixing filtering through now.

And just a cursory search proves you talking bollocks.

If you're having difficulty joining things up into a coherent whole, that's something else and your doing.

There are many, many examples of this but cba to post about 20 easily found links.

Even you did.

No, that's you failing to join up the dots. I'm clearly not confident within those words, as well as it being a restated view from last April.

My view changes when the data changes. Everything changes with covid and you're spouting the same old shite like it's more meaningful than anyone else's take.

Might this indicate that xmas mixing not as bad as we thought it might be? We're presumably bang smack in the middle of when symptoms from that would start to show. Although I guess most people mixing for xmas would be people traveling outside of London. 

Yeah you weren't allowed to mix for Christmas in London, even for a day, so I don't think there would be much impact from that. And as you say anyone who did likely travelled out of London for it.

You weren’t allowed to. Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. If my Instagram feed is to be believed that rule was widely ignored both on Christmas and on NYE.

Hmmm. I think you're expecting a bit much there.

Huge numbers will have mixed no matter what the rules say, and the vast majority of those will have justified it to themselves as somehow OK to do (and for many of them, it will have been OK to do).

True but a lot of people who live in London have family outside it, which is kind of my point. Everyone we work with for example.

Basically just saying I wouldn't rely too much on London figures for the picture on Christmas mixing.

See above. Wasn't really saying people followed the rules, just that a lot of Londoners who broke them would have travelled out to do so.

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
