Chop the finger off, problem solved.

Seem to remember the original schedule was for it to be open to traffic in October 2020 so I guess they're behind, or I've got it wrong, both equally likely! If its not fully open not sure there would be access as it will come out onto a building site.

Is that the one developed in Birmingham? Saw a piece on Sky News about that and the science was pretty mind blowing. They reckoned they could catch the virus in the nose and then apply a coating which prevents it from causing infection.

Will be interesting to see what the uptake is as we move forward. Is there a minimum uptake we need for the famed herd-immunity to kick in? Flu vaccine uptake seems to run around 70-72% in the over 65s, assume this will be higher.

Nice to see positive reports coming in. Obviously a big difference between the level he's playing and where we are, as we know from experience, but maybe he's not the complete write off some have claimed.

When things like this are presented as the benefits of Brexit I find it quite concerning. Its the same as when signing a continuation agreement, ie: continuing to have the same terms we had as an EU member, is flagged as a success for the government. Are the expectations for Brexit now so low...

Think the issue is more how the data is presented. We know that a lot of people don't look any further than soundbites and we live in a world where things are reported on instantly. So when you have Johnson opening the briefing with: That's immediately all over social media and being reported...

Should help increase the numbers.

Does the mortality rate for non-covid respitory deaths go up in the winter? Have that got data that compares mortality for recent weeks between those with the existing variant and those with the new variant?

This isn't very clear at all, and then they wonder why people don't understand the information they are given! Johnson comes out and says the new variant is linked to higher mortality followed by Vallance saying the data they have from hospitals is that the mortality is the same. There is other...

Thought we were getting our own channel for a minute!

The latest ONS stats have the percentage of new variant cases dropping fairly significantly in London and the south east and nothing like the surge in other areas that we saw in London despite it now being all round the country. That's unexpected isn't it? Even if the number of cases overall...

Not the most exciting first day of a test ever. Pretty even so far. In other news Warwick have appointed a new head coach. https://edgbaston.com/news/world-cup-winner-robinson-appointed-as-warwickshires-mens-first-team-coach/

Its hard to believe the stupidity of some people. And in a case like this you're not talking about an individual. You've got someone organising it, a venue agreeing to it & allowing measures such as covering the windows so they clearly knew it was wrong and then hundreds of people attending. Its...

Good to have some positive news, although not entirely sure how its a result of Brexit. Doesn't that just mean those in the UK have to do the same as those in the EU? Or does he mean an advantage compared to crashing out with no deal. Either way nice to have some good news for a change.

Can you park anywhere down there if you order for collection? Seems to be a shortage of a decent Mexican in Cov.

Glasto is June and you'd think the majority of the crowd would be in groups not covered but the first round of vaccinations. Would you really risk putting 200K people, mostly unvaccinated, in a field for a week in pretty unhygienic conditions? Seems a big risk to take. Doesn't mean you won't...

Its not so much a case of what things will be like in the summer as the uncertainly. The costs of putting on a festival don't start the day they open the gates or even the day they start putting the bill together. You're looking at paying out a lot of money upfront for an event that may not...

There's been a few of these. I just don't get it, are they giving that as a BS excuse to cover something else? Surely nobody in their right mind does that even when there's not a pandemic, I'll thing about getting a Nando's and not bother as its too much hassle to go and pick up and that's 5...
