Off Topic Covid 19 restrictions have done one

Sorry,I remember you posting that now.I hope you have recovered

I use to go out with a lass with Acute Angina...

 

Yea back to normal now mate thanks

 

Maybe we should have a bet on the Cheltenham thread see if you make it??

 

My best mate sadly passed away in 2019 and my other mates said they was surprised because they had me going first because of my illness's

 

Put a tenner on for me Chazz, i'll pay you in the next life, if there is one.

 

Friend of a friend contracted cancer 18 months ago. Was told he could go anytime. So he’s made the most of it and loads of his mates have rallied round and supported him. three of his best mates have passed away in those 18 months and he’s still going strong!!
enjoy it while you can
Every day is a good day

 

You just never know what life is gonna throw at ya.

Thank ya Chaz, since me heart attack in 2018 I realised how close it was and just enjoy life as it comes.

 

Don't forget to take your own pen when you go to the pub in a fortnight. This is a complete waste of time...

Look how good that figure of 204 looked, then look at the numbers now.

I stopped posting the tables from there, when it looked like we were doing really bab, but even though we're listed much higher up it, and testing numbers are (I think) much higher, the numbers now are much, much lower, and improving well.

Carabao Cup final, April 25. 8000 spectators will be allowed in. Covid test beforehand and another 5 days after for research purposes. Good news but I hope they chase up those 2nd tests otherwise we learn nothing.

 

It’s all relative (mostly to testing levels)
When Leicester was locked down as the first are their level was 45/7 days/100k population.
Comparing it with that our figures are still bad, but there is definitely more testing so more asymptotic cases will be found.
Important bit is hospitalisations which are way down from the peak.
Still worrying about Brazil variant though. Hopefully it will get found and isolated out

 

Re assuring if true.

Lasted bout 2 weeks last time before most pubs couldn't be bothered, thankfully the pub passport thing as being binned but the government do seem overly keen on imposing excessive measures, covid passports for footie springs to mind but the of course won't be ready until after people have started going back anyway, for rugby the situation is even more absurd as the new season is already under way.

 

Reassuring if you’ve had a Pfizer vaccine...

 

Any jab'll do for reassurance...

Only after midnight of course...

 

Lines on graph look good (they do rather suggest we came out of lockdown a bit too early last year, but certainly make this version of lockdown look a success)

 

I've seen several graphs showing how areas applying different approaches, each had quite similar similar trends to each other, which seems to imply that there is something going on beyond locking down or not.

I'm just glad I'm not tasked with offering solutions, and that whatever the why's and wherefores, the figures look to be heading the right way for us opening back up.

 

If it's a sign, wave.

I read a thread by one of the independent SAGE scientists who said that because the Kent variant is so transmissible, it’s become the dominant variant of the virus in this country, which means other variants will struggle to find hosts to spread. They said this was a good thing considering the vaccine being useful against the Kent variant.

edit - they stated that the third wave Europe is facing is very likely the variant we exported to them meaning we shouldn’t face this wave (we’ve already had it!).

edit 2 - found the tweet thread:



Lockdown and Kent variant dominance is stopping other types of Covid spreading.

 

Kent has been the variety round here for ages. Not quite 100% but near enough.
