The deadline of end of May to review lifting of restrictions in June has been dropped...

 

[Kenny]

Thought the restrictions review for the 21st June was set for the 14th June? So the data could be looked at and assessed and then give businesses etc 7 days to set up.

 

[BillyDee]

End of May did seem a bit early.

Hancock currently waffling away

"There’s now 2,323 confirmed cases of B.1617.2 in the UK. 483 of have been seen in Bolton and Blackburn with Darwen. In Blackburn, hospitalisations are stable with 8 in hospital with COVID. In Bolton it’s 19 - the majority of whom are eligible for a vaccine but haven’t yet had it."

He has a point.

He has a point.

Its a very valid point

Also -
From tomorrow people aged 37 will be invited to book their jab online.

Got my 1st jab on Wednesday, in Malvern, bit of a trek but not too bad, and certainly better than the second option in Bristol!

Local TV news suggesting Texas reported zero covid deaths yesterday - for the 1st time since March of last year.

Currently 52% have had at least one shot, 40% fully vaccinated.

My Da's partner lives in Allan and it's a free for all. She's had both jabs. She's only 43.

Is it just poor organization or is it because they're being stupid about the AZ vaccine?

Well had my 2nd jab at 12.20, no sign of any after effects yet........convinced I'm part of some placebo group and they've just bunged water in me.

Bit of everything and now J&J can't fulfil the promised amounts for the EU (no threats of court action yet though)

Leaving for mine in 10 minutes, got to go to Stafford though so i'll probably catch something else whilst there

Decorum if you’re lucky.

You and me both. I'm feeling quite hard done by, especially after Mrs TH was convinced she was dying after her first, and I'm not even joking. Tried the other arm this time, just in case. (Watch me collapse in a heap in about 5 hours' time.)

More great reporting on the radio this morning:

Top of the hour headline: "TEST EVENTS RETURN POSITIVE RESULTS"
Story: No evidence of any spreading at the events with protocols in place

So, woke up this morning to the news that there are 5 cases of the 'Indian' variant confirmed at our local Comprehensive school. Advice from the local council is for people to get a PCR test if in certain categories. The list is Pupils and staff from the school, including family and bubbles, other schools in the area and all residents of Newport......so everyone basically. The wifes boss said she would like all her staff (wraparound care for local Primary schools) to get tested so me and the missus just got back from being PCRed.
