I reckon by 12th April being allowed to go to the gym will seem like an exciting treat!

Gutted there prob won't be much overlap between the gym being open and my 50/50 furlough hours.

Yeah you're probably right. Will likely give it a go!

thats pretty much the case with my work ... actually im going to quite like having 2 weeks off then 🙂 

I would v much recommend going to stay with a fellow Glasto fan. I got the nod that I was coming off furlough soon that week last year so I headed up to the aforementioned friend's eco barn and it was great watching all the coverage for a few days with a fellow Glasto veteran.

Wasn't this dated at the start of February i.e. weeks before the strong data regarding the vaccine's impact on transmission after a single dose was released?

Both of them have valid points really. I think the answer is somewhere in between personally.... i.e. June 21st too far and April too soon. I'm going to put it out there that I think the virus will be next to nothing sometime in May.

Also you've gone from Harper saying vaccines are not a panacea, to Peston's doom-mongering about the vaccine's reduced efficacy after 34 days (because of a lack of data) to that tweet above within the space of 5 or so minutes...

Yeah, im a little pissed off they have basically said we will follow the data but not follow the data. If their modelling looks completely wrong because the vaccine and seasonal effect were under appreciated they have not given themselves any room to lift restrictions earlier.

Moral of the story..... ignore Peston, he's a hack.

So I guess this shows why we have the 5 weeks in between which I can understand, if their modelling has flagged up potential rising hospital admissions and deaths then it's wise to be cautious in between the steps to monitor the data.

Is this related to the real life virtual meet? Is there a plan?!

I'll stick it in the controversial thread, but that tune is a banger.

on the next vm ... this weekend 🙂 if you are about ...

[Homer]

I'm gonna have to try and remember what gigs I had booked.

The most confusing one was Teenage Fanclub, who not only moved to 2022 but from Bristol to Bath for some reason.

Thankfully the debate has moved on from pseudo scientists like Sridhar and Scally in favour of the much more sensible Patrick Vallance and Whitty.
