My little hammer is nearly 8 months now. I’m slightly concerned he has had little to no interaction with any other baby’s/toddlers - anyone know if that’s ok for him and his development ?
All he has really had is me and my wife. It’s hard going not having much of the family around to help out.

I did a run around platt fields park today, what shocked me was there was a full eleven a side game going on on the plastic pitches at platt lane, full kits, refs and linesmen, had to be an organised game as there was no way they could have climbed the fences around the pitch.
Thought all of that was stopped under lockdown? Seems a bit hypocritical of me to complain as I watch city on the telly all the time. Just seemed strange

Shouldn’t be going ahead I’m fairly certain that all non league games are cancelled.
 
Does anyone know where you can see what the hospital admissions would be if you took out Groups 1-9 in the Priority List?

Basically everyone over 50, front line NHS Staff and carers and anyone under 50 with a Pre-Existing Condition.

Had a look on the ONS but can't see anything.

Cheers mate. Yeah, it’s been freezing today. Thing is, 2 weeks ago today I started running again and felt good for it, yet 2 days later I tested positive! I remember in those 2 days my legs were aching like mad and I put it down to the run on the Saturday but thinking about it, it might’ve been my first Covid symptom

I had a heavy cold the day the symptoms started (a Sunday). Was on a call at work at 3 (off cam and sat in parka coat & blanket) then another one at 4 (on cam). Was talking constantly for about 45 mins.
When it finished I sank on the sofa & couldn’t move.
The next day I was feeling even worse & that’s when I had the test.
Got progressively worse after that.

Went for another 30 min walk a couple of hours ago (‘borrowed’ the family dog as I walked over to their house).
Freezing out but think that fresh air helped. Missed it mentally too.
Was a bit physically weak after I’d finished (not out of breath more akin to a long run if I’d not fuelled properly beforehand.

Definitely progress.

@TINY - get well soon mate

Had my vaccine 4-30 today all seems well, anybody apprehensive about having this should put their fears to the back off their mind and have it it’s the only way we are going to get back to normality sooner rather than later

There's no fucking way I'm having it as I've read on Twitter that your balls drop off.
 
We need to maximise use of the most effective vaccines to reduce transmission to the max. This might mean using Pfizer to the full even though more expensive and more awkward. We need though to work out which is truly the most effective. This matters because not everyone is going to take the vaccines and hence to get R below 1 without any isolation measures is going to take very effective vaccines. Perhaps it's going to take vaccination of children to do this. I think vaccine uptake will be very very high because people will realise that the only way that they can do the things they want to do relatively safely is through vaccination.
 
I think I said at the start of the week, this time next week let’s hope we are at 9 million vaccines and cases down to 23,000. Not far off on either I don’t think so a step forward. Let’s hope next week we are at 11/12/13 million and cases well under 15,000 and more evidence the vaccine is starting to impact. I think most people have conducted themselves beautifully this year and been kind and supportive of each other. We might come out of this better in the long run with the science advances, more mental health support and a better work life balance.

we have all shared this incredibly tough period of adversity together. If that can’t make us better humans nothing will.

Think we vaccinated circa 2.75 this week and that’s with a couple of days where each were under 250k. Not inconceivable that we can do 3m+ next week and throughout Feb if supplies exist. Could have 20m+ vaccinated by end of February which would be remarkable as that would mean top 6/7 groups all with first shot as a minimum. Could have all over 50s and clinically vulnerable 16+ adults done by end of March. If that is the case and infections continue to drop I can see things beginning to open up just after Easter

You are right to bear that in mind. But no need to worry. As soon as Covid permits introduce him to family and friends. A good registered baby minder with a group of toddlers and space will do wonders. My grandson (aged 12 months) loves his days there.
He will soon make up for lost time: learning capacity massive in early years.
If grandparents are about, rope them in as soon as is ok covidwise. We are suckers!
Good luck with him. Enjoy.
