I’ve tickets for Paul Heaton at Castlefield too. Twice delayed. So hoping that goes ahead. It’s a summer regular!! My son is due to go to Kendal Calling, late July. Beatherder, which he had tickets for, has already been cancelled. I can’t see Kendal happening, although I can’t help thinking the...

Personally the lifting of restrictions in June wouldn’t have made a massive difference to me. But my kids have festivals and gigs booked over the summer, and it’s disappointing and sad that this probably won’t happen. And for those in the events industry it must be a real kick in the teeth. It’s...

I can see there being some sort of compromise. I can’t see everything back to normal with no restrictions on that date. But there’s a massive difference between 100s of sweaty kids in a mosh pit, and an outdoor event being allowed to operate at full capacity.

Seems they’re not bothered (according the Guardian) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/16/bemused-bedford-shrugs-off-arrival-of-indian-covid-variant

I’m part of a trial. There are S antibodies which come from a vaccination. And N antibodies which come from having had COVID. In our family, my 21 year old unvaccinated son has none, Ive had 2 jabs and have S antibodies, my partner and daughter have both N and S. They’re both vaccinated but had...

How long after your second jab did you have it? Our family is on an antibody trial from university college London. After my first jab it showed no antibodies, next test was inconclusive, 3rd test 3 weeks after jab 2 showed S antibodies which can only come from a vaccine.

My hope is that the opening up tomorrow may not change things as much as people think. I think those who want to mix and get out and about, have already been doing so, and those that don’t aren’t going to rush out tomorrow. I’ve been inside my daughters house and my fathers house, the first...

Dr Helen Wall, who is leading the vaccination effort in Bolton, said the target for Saturday was to distribute 4,000 jabs. She said 10,000 people eligible for jabs had yet to be vaccinated in the BL4 and BL5 postcode areas, with issues like not having phone credit to make a booking often cited...

I’m quite glad to see many others on here feeling the same as I’ve felt since last nights press conference. Completely at the end of my tether. My mother died in March. One person was allowed with her in the hospice at the end. 16 people at the funeral. My son in Madrid hasnt seen her for almost...

Mine are 21 and 19 and they will be gutted at another wasted summer. And yes, for those who think ‘tough shit’, it does matter. You’re not 19 forever. These are crucial years.

The guardian suggesting the same However, councillor Andy Morgan, Bolton council’s cabinet member for adult social services, insisted the council had been given some “flexibility” to vaccinate younger people, and would be offering vaccines to all over-18s in the three worst-affected wards from...

Where did you read that?

The house next door to me is divided into bedsits . The lad on the other side of our bedroom wall worked in putting on events at Manchester Academy, the University and festivals. Self employed. We’ve spoken a few times in the garden about how hard he’s finding it. But recently I’ve noticed the...

I am vaccinated with Novavax now. I’ve stayed blinded but was given whatever I didn’t have in October, in April. I don’t know which was which, but I’m vaccinated. That’s the case for all those stayed blinded, if they wish. They were offered the vaccine to keep them on the trial. So most will now...

Well yes. With an unregulated vaccine. It’s trial results are good, and I’m not worried about it’s safety. Just wondering if it will ever count on a vaccine passport. I’m not too bothered for me. But my 19 year old is on the same trial. I know the risk with a trial is that it may not go the...

Bad news for those of us on the Novavax trial. Just had an email saying there are further delays to getting a temporary license and possible financial problems.I’ve searched a bit further and it looks like no chance of being licensed until the final 3rd of the year at the earliest. How that...

Everyone will have a different opinion on what is essential. I saw 2 British nationals in India, on the news, who had gone for funerals. One of a cousin, one of a nephew. My son, who lives in Madrid, missed my mother’s funeral last month. It’s not essential and we never considered his coming...

I thought the governments plan was everyone/everywhere move forward together or not at all. I was reading Healdplace post as meaning Greater Manchester’s situation could delay everyone opening up.
