I think on a music festival message board it’s a legitimate question to ask. It doesn’t suggest the OP doesn’t give a shit about anything else. Of course there are much bigger things to be worrie

So...OX/AZ, blood clots, suspension of vaccinations, politics, vaccine hesitancy, convoluted data, PR problems, Brexit, EU procurement naivety, poor logistics, national identity...there’s an awful lot

A while since I/we posted because just like everyone else we get fed up of this shit. So just like to say..... For the first time since last March we are free of covid patients 😊

Personally speaking I feel more relaxed out and about compared to last year when we came out of lockdown 1, that’s probably partly due to feeling more normalised to the virus but it’s a good sign.

That’s great, and I’m the same too (although have been fairly relaxed throughout really).
I think this type of message from scientists is what is needed now, to try and encourage those who are anxious, that it’s going to be ok when we ease of this further. With explanations of why it’s going to be ok etc.

Yeah I agree. Don’t get me wrong I’ll sometimes still be a bit worried walking past someone and try to give space but I’m not as bad as I was at the beginning.

I’ve just seen a news alert saying the R rate is back above 1. 
 

Everyone stop what you’re doing. It’s back to the bunkers for us 😂

Case numbers down but R back above 1?

ONS infection data also showing a 40% decline.

I’m confused.

And its a rate of decline between -0.4 to -0.1%. Basically, its still going down but slower. 

Seems pointless them printing that TBH

Vaccine side effects...  I had jab at 5pm yesterday...

So far so good...  Hour after injection arm felt a little swore and I felt a bit tired but soon perked up.

Today I feel like I have a very mild cold.  Nothing to stop  me doing most things but enough for me to not bother with my daily gym visit.

Just wondering if its going to get worse lol 😄   

You seem to be on a similar trajectory to me. If you are that means starting to feel worse as today goes on, pretty lethargic by evening, and the the most vivid but incredibly mundane dreams tonight.

Aren’t we at that stage again where the levels of the virus are so low, that the R becomes somewhere irrelevant and not a meaningful tool to measure by?

True but I just can’t fathom how certain calculations come up with an outcome which seems to be at odds with the real world data.

Basically if you've got a low number of cases then a single additional case is a greater proportional increase than it would be if there were a lot of cases.

If you've got 100 cases, an additional case is a 1% increase.

If you've got 50 cases , that additional case becomes a 2% increase.

Same principle applies to R number, albeit a slightly more complex calculation.

      Not a great look for the festival that Saturday headlining slot. 21P management had to be very convincing…   Anyway, I still don’t know how to deal with this :   Matt Berninger is a must see but I’d like to see all four. Florence Road then Halsey should not be an issue, but I really doubt I’d be able to enter the Barn to see Matt.   And Matt’s set times means we miss a few minutes of Gorillaz and stay quite far from the Main stage.

      Lovely stuff, cheers. Their EU tour poster for Jan/Feb next year says “more dates TBA” so if they’re playing here that’s preferable!

      Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.

      Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely.
