Yes, if the modelling is worst case and hospitals start to get overrun. The models also suggested there was no benefit in delaying releasing restrictions and in fact by delaying could lead to more deaths It’s a calculated gamble. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some restrictions (hopefully not...

That’s nonsense Tony. Have a listen to Whitty again, Google ‘vallance flu deaths’, Ferguson ‘justifiable decision’. Every country needs to make their own call depending on their vaccine roll out, risks their health service in coming months etc etc. Im not saying it’s the right call, none of us...

Pretty much everybody who is higher risk (over 40, I’m guessing even over 30s) could/should have been double jabbed by now. Basically you’re saying ignore Whitty, Ferguson, Vallance, all of whom have suggested that the nhs is likely to be overrun this autumn/winter if we try to suppress the...

Not saying theyre at fault at all, just that I think the current plan of letting it run has been decided by Johnson and the scientific advisors rather than hold the wave back for autumn/winter. Only time will tell if it’s the right decision

I agree that he should shoulder some of the blame if any that couldve been double jabbed have got ill and have said before that India could’ve gone on a bit earlier, however we had loads of people travelling to India that didn’t need to, they all rushed back from their ‘urgent’ trip on the...

As Whitty indicated the alternative is to push this wave into autumn/winter where there is even less available beds. Or stay in lockdown for the next year ? They reckon due to last years lockdown and limited flu spread there could be 60k deaths Just googled and found this...

Sorry, misread

You can claim £500 https://www.gov.uk/test-and-trace-support-payment Appreciate that’s not full pay for most but it should cover a reasonable amount of basic costs for the period

Did you not read my long winded post ?! 🤦‍♂️😂 Ps as you say schools/work places are running their own rules though. If I was gov/nhs I’d come out now and make it clear the apps advisory and suggest people take lateral flows if pinged, which is what they are going to do anyway from 16 Aug, at...

I don’t blame you for deleting the app although from my understanding if you get contacted by track and trace team it’s a legal requirement to self isolate however the app is advisory. I think this has been left intentionally ambiguous by gov/nhs but feel free to have a look into it From my...

Sensible to have strong messaging/mandated as terms of carriage where possible. Public transport is probably the main confined space where many don’t necessarily choose to be there ie they have to be. Interesting to see Khan talking about masks on tubes, which I 100% agree with, especially in...

Yeah, makes sense. Think the AZs they wanted the longer gap between doses as it improves efficiency. Pfizer and Moderna don’t think extended gap is as beneficial so may as well just get it done Nice one anyway

Thats quick. Which jab ?

Can’t really tell from PHE website. Data not up to date and also they lump 18-54 year olds into one group ! Handy ! what’s interesting though, before the roll out that grouping had around the same daily hospitalisations as the 85+ group. The latest data (late June) shows 18-54s now have around...

There’s good and bad news on vaccines. The good news is 66%+ adults double jabbed and 87%+ adults single jabbed. Bad news is I’m not sure that single jabbed number is going to get up much higher as first dose numbers have really tailed off now. Kind of expected as we know the younger you are...

Yeah, it is worrying and I really am hoping that rate of increase starts to slow soon. I think we’ve discussed before No 6 on the spreadsheet (Covid Inpatients) is a good indicator as this will hopefully show how close we are to NHS coming under increasing sustained pressure. Currently 3k. Over...

what I’m saying is it’s not just down to one team. It’s not as if we made a load of subs after 25, just more like Italy sorted themselves out. I thought second half we should’ve made an attacking sub earlier to change the momentum but again, all these decisions are easy to say from an...

Not sure that’s giving due credit to the Italian players and manager altering the way they were set up/playing to combat us though.

Great tournament and the lads did us proud. Of course theres frustration, most of us probably wanted to change things up earlier in the second half…but then again how many times has Southgate made right calls to get us to that point (Rice and Phillips were immense yesterday and not many would’ve...
