Presumably "data not dates" means data for the whole of England. There don't seem to be any plans to go back to local restrictions.

You would be correct. The government want us to move as one country which I understand as it’s easier to manage this way.

I'm really not sure I buy the idea that the roadmap was put in place for the sake of the local elections and then is going to get pulled back after the Tories win. Mainly because no fucker votes in them, or next to no one (I do!). But people who aren't engaged in politics really won't pay them any attention and are hardly going to march down and vote Tory based on the roadmap if they weren't already. I don't think it's as big an issue as some think. If it was general election then maybe, but turnouts for last local election were abysmal.

The popular opinion fallout from setting out the roadmap and then pulling it would be far worse than any benefit that could be gained in the local elections, which I think will be tiny.

Your house ? Street ? Local authority ? Was just looking at the data for bath and NE Somerset is that you ? 

The town I live in within BANES.

BANES is at 21 cases per 100k currently.

Now this would make a great thread, even before having the vaccine.

"How many have you had"? 

Reckon there's one or two who might get close to a full house.

I reckon I've had around 60% at Glastonbury alone!

I’ve had 35. Had to Google Arthropod.

It’s much fairer too! I was annoyed last year that my mates in Oxford were still in the pub when ours were shuttered! 😂

I agree, it’s much fairer this way and I’m in an area that generally has low rates.

It looks like the roadmap is working with no big uptick in cases from schools reopening yet so that goes to show what we are doing is working and we should be on course to open more on the upcoming steps.

I'd concur.  The steady fall in case rates appears to have tailed off and we're seeing some slight rises in some areas, including Mendip, but that's to be expected with the massive uptick in tests.  Overall % Positivity is still around 0.5% or lower, which puts us about on a par with July/August 2020.

13 days till we can socialise with a group of friends outdoors, that’s a big step for many people and in time for the Easter break. Not long to go now!

The clocks go back the day before too.

Imo I think I need to escape off to a very liberal, highly educated state, for a year to get this Tory mess out my head. I’m thinking Massachusetts.

I'm pretty sure California went Democrat (well, someone had to!).

    • Yeah so many of mine seem to be just France v Spain in one semi and England/Brazil v Argentina in the other. But the fact those combos are the obvious ones mean it feels unlikely that'll happen because in World Cup history, you very rarely end up with what pre-tournament looks like the obvious final 4. We all see teams outperform and underperform. Which one is the fall guy is a different matter.   I've said elsewhere that for me, there's a hierarchy of Spain, France and Argentina as the 3 strongest looking, then England and Portugal, then Brazil and Germany, but that overall, they'd be the 7 likeliest to win. So I dunno, maybe this will be the time the Netherlands avenge the failure of total football in 1974 and achieve what they couldn't achieve through whatever the f**k Nigel de Jong was with his 2010 final karate moves.
    • Oh I think Infantino should resign. His handling of the whole WC process has been an utter shitshow. But you know. That would require him having integrity or something.
    • Good Charlotte would be fine third down or subbing. If they can get a bigger sub and still get GC, they’ll play third down.

    • Nope, Sum 41 had already headlined second stage along with Rob Zombie and Slayer in 2017....are we saying that Rob and Slayer would be 4th down the Pyramid. The KSE are always predicted 3rd down, Skindred are given 3rd down and we think 7 years after a second stage headline with that genre very 'IN' they wouldn't get 3rd down.  Sum 41 did a last ever UK did that had Wembley Arena and not The 02 and it wasn't anywhere near the prices Good Charlotte is costing. Every act is going to do well on a final tour, GC have only just come back and in my opinion a shocking day of music overall for the return choice.    On Slam Dunk, firstly Sum 41 headlined in 2022 when festivals returned from the covid time out, every festival going sold out and some very quickly! Secondly, Slam Dunk in 2022 was not £150 for a day ticket. Also thirdly, Slam Dunk 2022 was a great lineup, this years was pants! I met two guys at RIP who said to me they think 2025 was more fitting for the anniversary lineup and they couldn't be more correct, in the very top lineups they've ever put out. Its not as plain and simple as you've put.
