I think he said one person double jabbed had been hospitalised, but that they were very frail. No known deaths as of yet.

That is even better. Thank you. I was half awake being up to 2 am working on my book.

My Daughter who works in a public facing role in a BL 1 postcode was told by her work to go and get the jab (she is 32). Went early this morning and had it done at mobile centre. She said that there was already a queue when she got there and that even though they weren't officially due to open till 10.00 they were already vaccinating people.
It took her about 40 minutes to complete the process including the wait afterwards (Pfizer) but she said that everything was well organised and that the queue was even bigger when she came away.
It's good to see that people are now taking up the option to be jabbed and hopefully this will help keep a lid on the spread of the new variant.

He said the same on Sky when talking to Sophy Ridge.

Just been myself (26 & work in Bolton) was loads there but only took an hour all in all. They said they’d vaccinated 1500 people this morning by 12.

Surely this is an option going forward for mass vaccination of the under 40s. Really efficient and convenient.

Muen reporting huge queues at mobile vaccine site in Bolton..thousands apparently..every little jab helps

That's good. It's a shame that those who are vulnerable didn't get jabbed earlier. Rolling news pictures from India should do the job.

A friend works in a primary school, they were saying that 5/6 year groups have had to isolate because of infection, and had a message from one of their teachers that she is poorly and awaiting tests,

My mrs teaches 5/6 year olds and has a bubble closed at the mo.
My 8 year old has had to isolate last week after coming into contact with someone.
none of the kids concerned were ill. At all. So why isolate when anyone who is at risk will have been vaccinated and is protected
Makes no sense

I popped back to see my parents today and sort out some medical appointments.

They're in their mid-80s, fully vaccinated, previously active but they've hardly left their garden, let alone their Cambridgeshire village since last March. That's typical behaviour for the area.

My mum and sister had just seen the Prime Minister give his dire warning about the latest variant possibly scuppering our progress and had decided not to to go to the village shop any more. "There's an outbreak in Cambridge" my sister tells mum, "TEN people admitted to Addenbrookes". Yes, ten admissions in seven days to a major 1,000 bed hospital, down from nearly 200 in January.

There's necessary fear and there's panic spreading.

My mum is almost 83 and my dad almost 90. Both double jabbed and will go anywhere. Myself double jabbed and my sister and her husband have had one jab. We all went for four days in a lodge in Wales. Out every day and each time had a drink outside a pub. All being well we are away in six weeks and they have booked a week in Almunaca in November. As soon as things open I am off to Tenerife for six weeks at least. Life is for living and comes with no guarantees. Once elderly that is definitely the case.

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 providing a childcare bubble and the second visiting a vulnerable adult. That will stay the same for quite a while. And is anyone really going hug someone tomorrow just cos Boris says it’s ok?

True. We all know plenty never followed the rules anyway and that was when things were at their worst. Neighbours near me suffered no Ill effects and that included grandparents.

Personally my pubbing days had quietened right down anyway before the pandemic so I won't be rushing anywhere. It will be nice to have a choice though. One thing I've really missed is my holidays so I can't wait to get away. Even my small lodge break was great for a change of scenery in spite of miserable weather. Next week it will be fantastic to be at a game again, I hope I see some familiar faces
