JUst started posting it.

The match delayed things today. KO just after data arrived.

That's fine I just wasn't sure if I'd missed it messing with my Guess The Team Compy.

Yeah Covid, too far now, can you go away?

Not the disease itself, but the lockdowns. The regulations are made with too little notice and are too far-reaching. Better balance needed between protecting the vulnerable and keeping the economy going.

I'm not saying either way is correct. I'm simply stating we are far from locked down. The term "essential" can be interpreted many ways.

Its a nightmare. I for one couldnt get through another lockdown last year and i guess with millions in the same boat. Its a fine line isnt it

I just drove past that one near the Trafford centre. Was packed.

I sure my mates are still playing 7 a side at Woodley sports .Would of thought football would of been banned also

There's plenty that can be locked down still.

- Schools
- None essential manufacturing
- None essential warehousing
- The majority of the delivery network. Royal Mail, DHL, UPS etc if the above two are closed
- Construction
- Cafes providing takeaways. I saw a queue of about 20 people huddled together in a queue outside today in a small town.
- Golf courses
- Places of worship
- Motorsport facilities. I'm sure Red Bull, Mercedes etc and others are currently working flat out for the next season. Then you have the many other types of Motorsport companies that I'm sure will still be open.
- Car show rooms (Are they still open?)

That's the ones that have come to mind. Some more important than others. I'm sure there's more.

Boots has set up three vaccination sites which are due to open to patients this month in a bid to distribute the Oxford vaccine.

Tesco has also reportedly offered to help with the rollout of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.


The supermarket giant's subsidiary Best Food Logistics, food delivery and supply chain specialists, has offered its support, which could include the use of its refrigerated lorries and warehouses to move the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, which can be stored in a fridge.

Covid-19 restrictions, which have shut down many pubs and restaurants, may have opened up some capacity which could be diverted to the vaccine programme.

Boots said it has set up vaccination sites in Halifax, Huddersfield and Gloucester with local clinical commissioning groups -and more could be on the way

Science community must be feeling like Cassandra now - the future is clearly visible to them, but no-one is listening.

I know I've been posting this kind of content for a couple of weeks now. Everything predicted is coming about, and no action is being taken.

Now starting to feel worse even than before lock down one, when we could see Italy as a dire warning, but didn't act.

The state of play tonight:

More calls for action

IF companies had staff working from home no problem in March and April there is no reason they shouldn’t be working from home now. If these companies played their part businesses that can’t work from home would have more chance of staying open
