Wasn't it shown earlier in the pandemic that more transmission was happening in private dwellings than in restaurants etc... 

Allowing household mixing in hospitality venues might be the sweet spot that's needed, maybe?

Don’t you think though that if people think they can see each other in the pub,

“well why on earth can’t we see each other at the house? Less people so less dangerous?”

(I am of course playing Devil’s Advocate a little).

The Express only stating that outdoor meetings of 6 ‘could’ happen by May. So seems to have been a briefing mixup somewhere along the way. 

Blimey. I had assumed rule of 6 outside would be one of the first things we’d get, perhaps mid/late March...

Poor programming when you can put any info in and it goes through

This is one of the quarantine hotels. Imagining being stuck in that space for 11 sodding days AND spending £1750 for the privilege.

I don't think my mental health could take that...

Yeah me too! Reading it again it only states ‘experts predict’. Who needs the experts eh! Roll on Easter.

I thought it was just me wondering this earlier so didn’t say anything, but can someone explain this:

 

As R drops, each successive generation of people infected is smaller than the last. So for example, if R is 4, then 1000 infected people will infect 4000. If R drops to 3, then 1000 infected people will infect 3000. Cases have dropped from 4000 to 3000 but R isn’t below 1. The graph above shows daily cases rather than cumulative ones (that’s a line that keeps growing!). When R does drop below 1, cases will eventually dwindle to 0, how far below 1 determines how quickly you get there. Estimating R is difficult and not that exact (hence a range is given that reflects the current caseload). But cases will appear to drop before R actually reaches 1.

Haha where did you see that? Is that genuine?

Yep I can see the arguement both ways. I guess the idea being if you give people somewhere they meet they might choose to do it there rather than the more risky home.

Yep, that's the Thistle. It's not even the cheapest hotel.

They're using the Ibis Styles which is £60 a night normally or, er, now £175 with meals and no use of any of the facilities.

You just know it's going to have a TV with only three channels you can tune too, 2 shopping channels and Drama or something like that.

In this analogy wouldn't 4000 infect 12000 when R = 3 though?

Yep. But at least you can be the worst guest in the history of hotels and you know they won't throw you out.

    • The wording on EOTR's IG Story is "Huw has a little secret to share"...
    • exactly. give them mordor slot when I have other alternatives, not Wednesday
    • Absolutely love her record, System. Definitely an album that rewards a bit of commitment.   She's right on my must-see list. Hoping she's in the Walled Garden, as I think her sound might be a bit muddy if she's early-ish in Far Out.   Ben
    • Same here, I kept trying to go on A View From My Seat to see if each block was worth it. So vague!
    • Ok, I’ve had time to process the experience now, so here is my review.   The good Barcelona - what a beautiful place! What lovely people! The city was like another headliner. Stayed in El Poblenou, and the bars, cafes and restaurants were perfect. Avalanches - Absolutely spectacular, euphoric set. Fantastic stage. Possibly enhanced by substances that I timed right, for a change. Added bonus that I don’t really remember the queue. The Cure - I’ve been a fan for 34 years, and never got round to seeing them, so this was a dream come true. The XX - The sound was exceptional. The lights and setlist perfect, giving each member their moment. Was really loud where I was standing (between the front and the sound desk), but i didn’t notice any chatters - even during the quieter moments. Also loved Men I Trust, .bd. , Big Thief, NewDad and Gorillaz. The food within Parc Del Fòrum was also a lot better than I was expecting.   The bad People talking non-stop throughout some of the sets, and shouting to be heard over the music. I had to move 3 times during Wet Leg just to be able to hear the band over the crowd. It’s probably an age thing, but I just don’t understand it. You’ve paid how much to watch these acts, and now you’re standing with your back to the stage, missing the music and ruining the experience for everyone else? Odd behaviour.   The weather apocalypse on Thursday. I genuinely thought I would be able to tough it out. I couldn’t. Left after Geese. The lack of communication from Primavera didn’t help.   Whilst it was lovely to be by the sea, and the sunsets were very pretty, the site is a bit…concrete-y, isn’t it? I kind of longed for some grass and trees. Often found ourselves standing on the steps by the Adidas yard by some bamboo. This was probably a subconscious need for some nature. The fact that some of the nature included cockroaches did not negatively affect the experience.   My daughter, for running away when she saw the drug dogs in the queue on Thursday, meaning that I lost her for the whole evening. She hid her stash under a bench, and it miraculously survived the storms.   Also, can someone explain the point in having a wristband, when you still have to show your ticket every time you enter and leave the site?   Finally, I would like to nominate myself as one of the bad things about this year’s Primabera. I should have done Primavera a lot better. It was my first one, so I’m still learning, but I think I left too early on the Thursday. Left after the Cure on Friday, so I would be full of energy on Saturday, and then barely made it to the end of Gorillaz anyway, meaning I missed Overmono, Skrillex, Skullcrusher, Kneecap, and a few more I would have liked to see.   All in all Amazing lineup. Decent food options. Cupra and Cupra Pulse stages were very impressive. Weather was perfect for 3 out of the 4 days i attended.   It was always likely to be a ‘one and done’ for me, but we had a blast, even if I am starting to get too old for all this.
