An interesting an article on some of the longer impacts of covid on athletes in the US and what the illness is like for some people (remember these are young, fit people), I do hope we get some more data and studies soon understanding what exactly is happening with these mysterious cases- fortunately they are in the minority:

Also some posters on some US boards that I frequent who got hit by these ongoing symptoms started feeling improved after 6 months or so, so hopefully there is some light at the end of the tunnel for some sufferers

 

Some anecdotal evidence emerging that long covid symptoms disappear after the sufferer gets the vaccine, which is good news.

To be fair we are all talking about vaccine passports here...not the potential distruption to trade (that he explicitly admitted to) that would come from putting France on the red list...

Good, positive thread

And back to the real reason we're all here...

That sounds like 2022 for festivals to me...

It does seem weird to be on a Glastonbury forum and seeing people OK with a Tory Government bringing in measures with the potential to severely impinge on people’s freedom.

Yeah, it's labour who we should be OK with impinging on our freedom 😂

Ideally Labour would be behaving like an opposition and trying to check them but they still seem to think it’s last May

Any antilockdown protests planned this weekend

Well that is a disaster for gigs this year and testing around schools.

 

In a mass testing situation, said Deeks, among 10,000 people with a prevalence rate of 0.5%, similar to now, you would expect 50 people to have Covid. The tests would pick up 35 of the 50, but 90 would wrongly be told they were infected.

If after vaccination we still need tests in 2021 we'll need them forever

Check them which way ?

Triple masks and more lockdowns?

Or demanding we open up ?

Not sure they can play it either way very well.

Why do we need these laws until end of September? Why not end of June? Don’t just nod it through, show some flexible thinking and willingness to oppose.

65000 cases in a day in France!!!

 

I think we need to be putting them on the red list unfortunately.

What about all the hauliers? Even with a negative test, isn't that still risky to let them in?

We have to if only for the medicine side of things. Less food choice would be fine, but the medicines are non negotiable unless we have a stockpile that wasn't needed at brexit time.

From the article, roadmap is on track and pubs can chose social distancing opening without vaccine passports, or full capacity with vaccine passports.

LFT for hauliers IMO. Some cases might get in but hopefully you catch most of the positive ones. We need to import food and medicine.

 

However hauliers aside I think we need to move towards a hotel quarantine. France have made an absolute mess of this wave.
