New (lack of) restrictions has been announced in commons and press embargo lifted.

A week's notice of a new "encouraged" checking regime for venues which the government will "be in touch" about.

What could possibly go wrong?

Instead, with only a week to go until mass events in England will be allowed to go ahead, and venues such as nightclubs can reopen, the prime minister’s official spokesman said the government would be in touch with businesses to encourage them to implement Covid checks at the door.

He suggested customers could either show that they have been double-vaccinated, or had a positive PCR test within the past six months – or could carry out a lateral flow test and show the email they received after reporting a negative result.

He declined to say what the govt modelling predicted hospitalisations to be. Funny that.

Just rebooked my second jab - this Friday. Will be 8 weeks to the day after my first, I'm 34.

Every day I looked at had availability, so worth a look if you're still waiting for 12 weeks in your 30s - see if you can bring it forward.

Not a good day for the NW or Greater Manchester. Both up quite a bit, But could be worse,

Stockport had a bad day a lot up week to week (just under 200 cases again). Bury was way up too but lowest scorer on 141 - highest low score in GM in some while.

Trafford had a better day and was down day to day and week to week and for the first tie in ages cut Stockport's huge lead in the overall Pop score numbers - not the other way around - all be it just by 2.

Salford was the only other borough down day to day (by 5) but unlike Trafford was still well up on last week, But nothing like Stockport's week to week rise only beaten by Manchester,

Zoe app had Stockport rising a few days ago though it has been inching down there in past two days so this might be what they saw,

If their numbers improve this week we will know,

Either way it almost went out of the 8000 club - Stockport is the last GM borough still in it and - as Tameside today made it into the 10 K club only Trafford - 189 ahead of Stockport - is also under a 5 figure Pop Score from the 10 boroughs,

Though neither they or Stockport are staying that way more than two or three weeks on current numbers

No of first jabs is on a downward trend, looks like there is 10% of the population who are not wanting to be vaccinated. Would love to see how that group breaks down by ethnicity, age etc.

The assumption there is that we are trying to restrict cases. We are not. Everyone knows now that vaccination is coming to an end for now so there is only one way out, and that's natural infection in the safest way possible which effectively amounts to as soon as possible. Drag it out and you will have infection with more serious consequences.

On an personal level I recognise we need population immunity but none of us want to be the vehicles through which we achieve that.
