After restrictions were eased last summer numbers stayed low until the autumn...right?

Well, kind of.  It's not so much about the absolute numbers, so much as the direction of travel - which is why people keep getting blindsided by exponential growth.  The case growth had actually started as far back as August.

It's been a while, but it feels like the next step in May will put us back to the equivalent to the lowest level of restrictions as last summer - we never quite got as far as the June unlocking did we?  Would you say that is roughly equivalent?

Really good second doses for Scotland but slightly concerned there has been a couple days in a row with next to no first doses

For Scotland, a few months ago they concentrated on hard to reach over 70s and care homes didnt they? i assume its the same principle for concetrating on them for second doses

Thatchers, good choice. Pub on Friday had that on tap, was very pleased as it brings back the glastonbury memories! 

It was only a quick drink but nice to see my best mate jc2000 for anyone on the hurt heal thread ... I’m pro face masks as people probably know ... but great to have it off along with some interaction with other people once more ... and oh that smiling thing 🙂

Agreed - fair enough. It was just a little hard to leave that comment be, given his previous. You’re right, I shouldn’t have risen to it.

Heh, it was only a gentle jest, just being slightly ironic in that you were stating something that you labelled me as an 'internet Karen' for saying exactly the same thing a few months ago. Where's everybody's sense of humour evaporated to?

Fag Packet Maths Alert

 

4,200,000 45 to 49 year olds...

40% left to do so... 1,680,000

We are doing about at least 80,000 a day so...

21 days...  10th May

But the reality is the bookings will probably open up a bit before that to keep things rolling..

I am thinking start of May in reality

I dont think they'll be that strict about getting 100% of 45-49 year olds jabbed. Once it gets to 75-80% they'll open up for the lower cohort

    • 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.
