Just got an email from the Barbican: "Because of the ongoing uncertainty caused by the pandemic, we’ve decided to cancel nearly all concerts that were due to take place between 25 March and 11 July 2021."

 

😞

Defeatist.

It's meant to be Barbican, not Barbican't.

Still waiting on a jab for someone who's 100 (One hundred). GP still saying will be weeks before someone comes out to do it, they have come into contact 3-4 carers a day. Surely should be some procedure to complain?

Write to your MP? Rant on Twitter? That's bang out of order this far into the rollout.

Good idea writing to your MP.

Booking online is for going to get vaccinated rather than someone coming out I think.

we'll never know...because we don't actually know how many people are breaking rules and meeting indoors...maybe if they relaxed that rule the infection rate would go up again, or maybe it wouldn't...I guess there's only one way we can find out.

Yeah there’s a good chance it will remain the great unknown

Yeah that's... so much harder. Maybe try to book then in first and then contact them that way? Once they are in the system, it'd be easier in theory to contact someone on the vaccination team who can help along the chain.

Indeed. As much as we'd all like to be able to get outraged and have someone to blame for the cases not falling fast enough, all the most risky activities happen outdoors where they cannot be seen.

Looolll

I'm still waiting for refunds for my shows which got cancelled when this lockdown started =\

You would think that more or less every band/artist/comedian is going to want to tour in 2022, when all this distancing should finally all be over.
It’s going to be a real scramble for venues, but should be lots for the public to choose from!

[zahidf]

Oh HELL YEAH

Interesting that this has also come out. All points to that the vaccine data is really strong

I really think we could see the end of social distancing before the end of the year with this news, theres a way to go but I know we're getting out of this soon

End of the year would be horrendous. Throw social distancing in the bin where it belongs end of May.

Also the news of test and trace firing employees today, if linked the Gov must be extremely confident that this is coming to an end. Though not getting hopes up just yet.

I think we're going to see a huge range of new venues being built or spaces used for different reasons, I'm due to be going to a comedy festival in a park in September so maybe outdoor events may become more commonplace than they are now

Yeah certainly not getting hopes up as we have already been here twice before!

Indeed- key data we need is how much vaccinated people can transmit the virus, and also whether the various vaccines protect against severe illness with regards the strain first identified in S Africa. Here’s hoping!

This is a nice looking graphic showing the measures taken and when by Johnson:

I think the early reports have been positive (may be wrong, there’s so much info to absorb). I really hope that the tide only goes one way now
