Coronavirus (2021) thread

I'm 32 and had the AZ jab last week. My mrs's work (social care) were called by the NHS last Monday to give as many names as possible for end of day spares in Blackpool. She put down us plus both our mums and dads, they rang us the next day and we were done at 7pm on Wednesday!

You can't choose which vaccine you have but for anyone else about to have the vaccine I'd factor in whether you can have a day off from work the next day if you can.... I was okay, just a bit of arm pain but my Mrs, her mum and my dad had some side effects, mostly fever and extreme tiredness which were pretty much gone by yesterday.

It's a great feeling that this will soon be over, the people doing the jabs were amazing.

544,063 in a day. That is immense.

sense a lot more hope in people this weekend.

Quite a few on here saying they were vaccinated today or yesterday.

I wonder if there will be a big jump in data tomorrow or just that it illustrates the Bluemoon demographic :)

It's understandable but I think there's possibly some confusion about the target.

The Delivery Plan aimed to offer the vaccine to approx. 15million people in Priority Groups 1-4. I read somewhere that the take up rate among the over 75s in England has been 93%, so this suggests that a lot of these offers have actually been taken up.

But the 14.556 million vaccinated so far probably includes an increasing number of those outside Priority groups 1-4, firstly to ensure that vaccine wasn't wasted and second as the 65-69s (group 5) are now starting to be offered vaccinations as well.

Notwithstanding the last point, it's obviously an outstanding effort and it hopefully means that an easing of restrictive measures will be announced soon.

My nephew works at a vaccination centre in Leeds. He’s 25 and has had the jab. And now so have all his mates, mostly 20 to 25 as he just rings them at the end of the session and they have the spares. There will be a lot outside of the 1 to 4 priority groups.

I am classed as group 6 and am having mine tomorrow.

Yes they have certainly been the one bright spot amidst this living limbo.

Without trying to score any points, how do those who were vehemently against football being played during the pandemic feel now? I'm watching matches daily as I don't watch TV otherwise. Obviously I'd prefer to be back watching in person but I'd have fuck all entertainment if football had been forced to stop.

I would have been fucked without it.

GM Scoreboard:

807 - up from 736, 41.2.% of North West Total which rose by 202 to 1960. 0.7% fall on yesterday.

3 wks v 2 wks v last wk v Today:- 1365 v 1038 v 968 v 807 - Slowed up but still downward path.


Pop Score is cases across whole pandemic v 100,000 people - rises daily but lower the better.

Weekly Pop is same measure across last 7 days only. Can rise or fall depending on if more cases or less occur today v the same day last week.


Either way Up is bad, down is good.



Manchester 143 – down from 148. Total 47, 999. Weekly 1067. Pop score up 26 to 8682. Weekly Pop down 12 to 193.

Bolton 112 - up from 77. Total cases 23, 063. Weekly 776. Pop score up 39 to enter the 8000 club at 8021. Weekly Pop down 5 to 270.

Wigan 91 up from 78. Total cases 26, 177. Weekly 598. Pop score up 28 to 7965. Weekly Pop down 2 to 182.

Salford 88 - up from 74. Total cases 20, 836. Weekly 541. Pop score up 34 to 8050. Weekly Pop down 15 to 209.

Stockport 86 - up from 73. Total cases 18, 533. Weekly 553. Pop score up 29 to 6316. Weekly Pop down 3 to 188.

Trafford 41 - down from 50. Total cases 15, 050. Weekly 325. Lowest weekly total in GM still. Pop score up 15 to 6341. Lowest rise of the day yet again. Trafford chomps a big 14 from Stockport's almost gone overall pop score lead - now just 25 and will fall in coming days to give Trafford all the 'best in GM' titles. Weekly Pop down 11 to 137. Best weekly Pop score easily. Only problem it has - there is little falling left to do from here on.



Pop Scores Today v 7 Days ago // Up/down over past week (lowest numbers best - numbers going up bad and going down good)


Trafford 137 v 193 // down 56

Oldham 180 v 226 // down 46

Wigan 182 v 244 // down 62

Stockport 188 v 240 // down 52

Tameside 190 v 209 // down 19

Rochdale 191 v 235 // down 44

Manchester 193 v 271 // down 78

Bury 209 v 207// up 2

Salford 209 v 270 // down 61

Bolton 270 v 279 // down 9


Seven of the 10 boroughs now in the 100s and nobody in serious trouble. Trafford heading for a sub 100 weekly pop number last seen for any extended period in GM in September outside just before Christmas for a few days in Trafford.

I'm still vehemently against football being played with no fans, haven't watched any games (don't watch TV football) but I was wrong to begrudge anyone else the enjoyment of watching, and have loved seeing the Scouse capitulation.

So, sorry.

I think they helped get us through the first one two, though the league was over, there were some pretty impressive performanes, just a couple that weren't.

[M18CTID]

it really is amazing and the road out of this.

It is indeed. But try telling that to the conspiracy theorists who think this pandemic is a hoax and is all about controlling us and reducing the global population from 7.8 billion to 500 million - via the vaccine - to usher in a so called New World Order, and therefore want us to stay in lockdown forever more so they can say “See! I told you so!”.

They’re going to look beyond stupid when things start opening up again and normality gradually returns. No doubt many of them will have the jab on the sly so as to enable them to go on their jollies too.

Cunts the fucking lot of them.

I agree mate. That said, it’s reassuring that the 93% and rising of the older / most vulnerable age groups have been vaccinated. The nutters might be under 75 but the flat earthers tend to standout more as a minority in recent weeks on social media etc.

Next season when we (Harrogate Branch) are hopefully back to running to a Supporters coach to games, we will have to decide whether we will let any adults on the bus who haven’t been vaccinated. If it it was just my call it would be a no (unless there were exceptional clinical grounds).
