cheers i have no idea how it will work, i'm not bothered really
awaiting news of follow up on some of the events listed in the pilot scheme;
I mean this is as much about trialing pre-event testing and controlled attendance as it is about how the events will potentially spread any undetected virus, as every entrant must have a negative test result. So this is more about the system to allow people in? I suppose a truly blind test would be a random selection of people with no regard to their covid status and see what happens, but that's a bit irresponsible i suppose.

While im not overly concerned due to vaccines seemingly working well against it, the India variant is really taking hold in the UK now and is seeing community spread.
from May 1st 11% of all cases were the Indian variant. mid April that was less than 2%

I'm not surprised 3 planes land at Manchester every day from Istanbul. There is not a Turk on any of them they are full of Indians and Pakistani's bypassing the 10 day hotel quarantine.While im not overly concerned due to vaccines seemingly working well against it, the India variant is really taking hold in the UK now and is seeing community spread.

Be interesting to see if Turkey going into lockdown was due to the Indian variant.

Is that the true reason why Turkey is on the red list? (People were speculating it was mainly due to the final)

This is bad news, though it's impossible to know how bad.
*Absolute* numbers of the Indian variant are rising, not just the proportion. *If* that's general in the community, not just local specific outbreaks (low local vaccination, workplace specific, place of worship, school etc) then it *will* spread exponentially and potentially super-exponentially as further restrictions are lifted.
Even if the vaccines are completely unaffected compared to wild type, a big spike will cause significant hospitalisation and death amongst the unvaccinated minority and those who for whatever reason aren't well protected by the vaccine.
So we're back in a race of vaccination vs virus.
If this case pans out June 21st lifting is off the cards, I think.
i have a feeling youre right, with regards June 21, and we're going to be in a strange limbo for a long time. But we shall see as we go.

But arn't hospitalisations and deaths still falling. Ie the current vaccines are working. Sure their may be a rise in infections for those unvaccinated but as this is largely the age groups that don't get seriously ill or die so surely the concern should not be anywhere near as great as before vaccination of the majority that has taken place?
