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 😊

Really nice watching this cricket this morning with a decent sized crowd. Whether they should be there or not is another matter, but it's just nice to see people.

Had a debate with my Indian colleague last week. He said everything is open there but he’s annoyed because it allows the virus to spread. I said I’d love it if things were more open here.

Show off.  Greater Manchester is rising again and the schools haven't even opened yet. 

It’s odd ... we are very good on vaccinations too ... wonder if it’s any reflection of Manchester being in stricter lockdown for longer so maybe more fatigue ... we went through a period of them not falling and I was looking out my window and thinking this is why ...

Their positive cases / deaths data is interesting. Have they ever had any restrictions?

From the World Health Organization news conference:

The UK coronavirus variant is both more transmissible and results in more severe illness, said Catherine Smallwood, senior emergency officer at the WHO, adding that it has currently spread in roughly half of European Union member states, with reported numbers continuing to increase.

I don't think the world was ever ready for the possible reality it was our pets spreading it all this time....

As soon as they said minks / tiggers had caught it I was amazed the conversation didn't move to pets.

That will be the next fake SAGE argument for maintaining the lockdown

I would imagine there’s a whole raft of reasons but I’d be interested to know why cases are rising. Different types of jobs being open maybe could be one reason?

I’m not sure if this is just Kent but even though the booking page says over 64 you can book if you over 60.  I saw it in fb last night and now my mum is booked in for next week.

I think the same thing happened when it changed from 70 to 65? Anyway, thought it might be useful to someone or their parents in the over 60 category that’s waiting:

In my area there's not much/anything in the way of big factories or offices. (there are smaller ones which are open though). Our latest figures are 40/100,000, less than half the rest of the county and way down on the rest of the North West. We do have the highest percentage of people on furlough in the country though

they had a nationwide lockdown last spring...the reason for the fall in cases since last autumn though is a bit of a mystery.

When's flu season in India? (I think in tropical places it's more to do with wet/dry season than winter.) Maybe their fall in autumn was like our fall in spring/summer, the weather was less conducive to spreading respiratory diseases.

This is a complete guess based on nothing scientific btw!

      Jesse Malin at Manchester Halle St Peter's last night.   So good to see him back touring after the trauma he has been through, him and the backing band sounded great.   Support was Bason. I quite enjoyed him, but man, that guy cannot sing.
