I'm assuming nobody can leave the country without having had the vaccine?

Staggering the kids return would be sensible IMO. The holidays abroad one is the alarm bell for me after what happened last summer. If things continue the way they have been going people will be heading off to places that are way behind us with vaccinations. Surely not a great idea.

my neighbours have just returned from Spain after a few months over there. Got to self isloate for 10 days and have spunked over £400 quid on tests.
If they keep that in place I think it will deter a lot of people.

Anti vaccine folk had better get their priorities straight, benidorm will go under if they don't have their jabs

We’ve already written off foreign holidays. Just gonna go around the U.K. to places we haven’t been. This country needs the tourism cash anyway.

Indoors from 17 May.

Not best pleased and think from late March/April, the amount of household gatherings will go through the roof - will be interesting to see if the modellers have built that in...doubt it !

Selfish wankers. I've been dying for a pint with my mates last few weeks but there's more important concerns, like making sure people don't die unnecessarily.

If we're not careful people could literally be dying for a pint.

I don’t know how I feel about this. June for everything back to normal sounds amazing but mid April before a pint sounds like ages.

Vaccine number tailing off is a concern, been happening for a week, albeit still good going overall. I’m (optimistically) hoping it’s because they’re about to ramp things up.

The confirmed cases increase isn’t as clear cut. It’s up a little bit from last Monday but that’s from 590k tests, up from 401k tests prior week. The rate of decline has definitely slowed recently though

Was trying to reason the vaccine drop off due to the fact that maybe there is some sort of delay between priority groups or something. I really hope they can keep it up though, they must be confident if they think we'll all be jabbed by July if we want it. Increase in positives though? No idea.

Cases up slightly on a weekend day, doesn’t mean much, see where the trend goes.

Vaccines were always going to drop this week with Pfizer supply thing I think.

Still more estimated currently infected people than any time last year (albeit a whole new level of testing so numbers would naturally be higher). Think I might've waited until we were further down that descension before committing to dates.

Yeah I know, but you are right. I'd read those figures just before you posted and took a sharp intake of breath.

It's a smart move.

How to get the population to get a job? Refuse to permit Wetherspoons, Benidorm, and Bingo until they've had one.

Thanks. I'm still boycotting Wetherspoons!! Be interesting to see how many other people are going to hold firm, if it was the only place open I think my principles would go out the window!
Any way, the clubs cheaper!

The good thing is, with June now (hopefully) being the target to be basically back to normal, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

That is one thing many people have needed for a very long time.

Ah yes, good point. Forgot about that!

A crawl round Earlsdon finishing up at the old cottage would be a thing of dreams right now.

Not doing them until it reopens. They haven't got anything set up to do it online.
Only got the e-mail a few days ago. Couple of Sam's before going up the Ricoh - make it happen gods of football and drinking!
