Old Royal Oak, half decent to be fair. I didn't have a clue what was going on half the time, different world over there.
Yeah the Oak in Earlsdon is good.
Better than the cottage anyway where it's £5.30 for a pint of Guinness the cheeky bastards. Rubbish pint as well.

COVID-19: 'Don't be too exuberant' - Caution urged as lockdown eases but end of restrictions in June 'still very likely'

Without clicking on the link is it The Oak Inn acting likes dicks again? Covid's probably the least of your worries if you drink in there.

I'm as desperate for 21st June as everyone else but if they say, for example, an extra two weeks lockdown just to make sure we're clear of it then it's worth it. No point getting this far only to fuck it up at the last minute.

Yep ! Basically suggesting that whilst there’s a bit of panic and modellers (media) predicting 6k-10k hospitalisation a day, at present there’s little change. Fingers crossed it stays that way !

Edit - cant see overall latest hospitalisations but PHE (England only) still showing daily net decrease (798 in hospital with Covid across the country). North West is staying flat but no surge at the moment

Good news from GSK/Sanofi today.
97%+ efficacy in trials.
Stage 3 trials Upcoming.
Might be useful as a booster if in time.
Based on same technique used for flu vaccine,so adaptable to the season it's given I assume.

Seeing a lot of references in reports to elderly people who haven't taken up the chance to get a vaccine. Is this due to logistics of actually getting it administered or is it because choosing not to get it?

If it's the latter, isn't it a case of stuff them, then? Can't expect the world to wait around forever if you're not going to take your opportunity to get a vaccine.

Then again if they still take up space in ICUs...

Could be housebound elderly, though I'd have assumed that alternative arrangements are made for them

Really good thread on why the Indian variant might not be that concerning. You have to read it all, hard to find a couple of tweets that capture the essence:

If you know your nhs number it’s worth going on the vaccine booking site to see if you can book. I’m 37 so I can’t book if I don’t know my number.
If I put that I do know my number it lets me in to book.

If you don't know your number you can probably get it from the NHS app (the regular one not the covid one). When you sign up for that if you don't have your NHS number you can put your full name, date of birth and postcode in and it should find you and give you the number.
