Looking excellent on all fronts currently.

If we can keep low rates after schools open then I think we can start talking about maybe moving things up a stage of the reopening.

 

Also on the vaccine figures there's definitely a selfish part of me that doesn't want to get it all done too quickly, my first appointment as a vaccination volunteer is 1st April and I don't want to miss doing my part! 

Given the current vaccination rate if anything I think it shows the roadmap is pretty accurate and looks good.

J&J decision by EU/EMA on 11th march. Expected to give it green light.

So it will be the 4th vaccine (after Biotech, AstraZeneca and Moderna) in the EU. Commision should approve on the same day.

Oh good god Sunak has a tick tok video out now!!

Yup, speed up the Vaxs and once we get to March 29th with things still low, move June stuff to May.

Now they need to start actually injecting people.

I’d love to know how given all of the positive stuff coming out over the last 48 hours you can say that with a straight face?

We did still loose a plane load of people today ... 😞 and yep things are on the up ... we are still in lockdown though and that in part is the reason for low cases ... we went fast before and look how many lives that lost ... clearly the vaccine is and will make a difference too but cautious optimism is where I am at the moment .

This was an attempt at light hearted humour to those misinterpreting the post. 🤣

Lots of opening up hurdles still to come although infection numbers should become less of an issue ... we also have a huge backlog of things the nhs has got to somehow deal with which I’m wary of ...  those guys need a rest and not another surge

Interesting read

Hate to say it but I think I actually agree with this. I'm all for caution, but if things are looking superduper earlier than expected then maybe they could speed things up....why not?

oh yeah but if deaths and hospitalisation are going down after opening up schools and after April, seems perverse to stick to restrictions past then to the same degree

Top five thing to do after lockdown

1. Leaving my house more regularly

2. Live music

3. Eating out without being worried about air-con

4. Stand-up

5. Getting to explore stuff I won't have seen for a while before 2020

Did consider international travel but that might well have to wait a bit.
