It will be interesting to see what the take up is for 12-16 year olds. My daughter (15) and her friends seem keen on getting it.

For June 21st the modellers results.
Admissions 68% of modelled scenario
Beds occupied 53% of modelled scenario.
Closer than most times to be fair but still woeful given the damage they’re causing and will continue to cause.

Me too but wouldnt you agree that the 3 things you mentioned are pretty big things to be missing out on?
youve just got used to the new normal where in reality (for me) 2/3 of the activities you mentioned are HUGE for me and i miss them a lot.

I must admit I am ( I think ) beginning to break the covid. I went round my kid brothers house the other day for a bbq. We went inside as it started to rain for a few hours.
My aunt and uncle have visited this week from Cornwall and came in for a brew.
This weekend my kid brother, aunt and uncle are coming over for a bbq.
We might be breaking covid19 guidelines. We have followed the guidelines to the letter but we have all had the jab.
We see packed beaches and than the jocks all packed into London.
My close family and our kids all have had the jab now. So we are living life like normal now. That could be breaking guidelines I guess, I dont know !
But after 18 of doing nothing and watching so many people breaking guidelines. I think we are being sensible. I still wear a mask in shops etc and wash hands alot 2 metre rule etc when out and about in public

There was more than 6 ! But we all have been jabbed. If people who have been jabbed cant meet what's the point of getting jabbed ?
18 months or more I have lived like a monk as other people do as they please. I need to see my extended family now ;)
PS this isnt a pop at you ;)

My auntie went into Wythenshawe hospital with a relatively minor complication related to a heart operation she had 18 months prior.
Caught covid somehow in there and died.
The NHS is brilliant, they’re all heroes, let’s pay them a gazillion quid a year and bang our pots and pans and do laps of the garden until the cows come home yadda yadda.
It’s also monumentally shite at things like infection control and admin.
Sorry for your loss, devastating for families, my neighbour who's 48 took a long time to recover from Covid, no underlying issues but it hit him hard.
Idiots and the selfish don't care anymore.
I doubt they are safer than the UK, it's probably because you have been vaccinated by the UK that makes it safer. They're amber for a reason, I hope you follow the rules.
I've mentioned before my mate works at Tameside Hospital, he used to be Patient Transfer but now works all day collecting and disposing medical waste, he calls himself a "bin man". However, he told me last week they cleared out a ward for the sole use of Covid patients as the numbers were rising significantly. It's nowhere near as bad as winter when patients coming into the hospital were in any bed in any ward that was available, at least now they're all together. Another of my friends ex wife is a nurse there and she refuses to get the jab, really irks me.
I heard a report that the Government budgeted 400b but actually only needed 300b of that which would be recovered over the coming years. QE usually equates to inflation which I think we are seeing now, I've not heard the BOE has done this but it may well be happening. Prices of certain products and services have gone up, it's very noticeable.
The re-opening was put on hold to get jabs into arms and yet the UK vaccination rate / per capita is now falling well behind other countries. The UK got a head-start because of Astrazeneca / Oxford but we now seem very limited by the availability of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines?
The graph below is just for a selection of countries.
Clearly different countries are in different cycles, for example, the USA has slowed down because they are now affected by vaccine hesitancy. The people who wanted to be vaccinated largely have been. However, the UK is not affected by that. The demand is there, the supply is not. It looks like it has been limited since May (Astrazeneca questions?)

Let’s stay like this until it disappears then shall we? So in other words for ever.
