Point still stands, it wasn't 500k, and yesterday was 220k.

I'm not knocking it, I'd just rather stick with the facts.

apologies I didn’t have the 491170 to hand. It’s pretty close!

i think the summer will be similar to last summer then vaccinating and measures starting again from october

Why do you think vaccines and measures will start again in October, new variants? Surely we can’t just keep going in a loop of lockdowns every winter.

Whitty has already said we will likely need social distancing and masks again next winter, probably not lockdown as such

But you don’t think places shut again like pubs etc?

The 491, 170 was a little disingenuously cited by Hancock as that was indeed true for UK first doses on Saturday.

He failed to say how much it fell yesterday.

Which was rather misleading.

Yes there may well have been weather related reasons but a lot of people will think he meant today not two days ago.

He wanted to make a point I understand that. And it is good news. But lets see if they are up there again tomorrow which hopefully they will be.

No I’m not unfortunately.
Certainly on the mend slightly but otherwise physically useless. Managed a five min balcony walk and was out of breath. Showered die the first time in a week (didn’t need to and felt like too much of a struggle).
Washed all my ‘ill clothes’ & bedding in the hope that would make me feel better.
Still feel it in my lungs but yep...that lethargy is incredible.
Depression kicked in now. I’m someone who has absolutely has to get out & about daily on a big walk or run. I’ve been isolated for two weeks now & physically no chance of doing that (shortness of breath & extreme tiredness).

Not sure what else I can do to exorcise the bastard from within...

Good to hear you are on the mend. That is the start. It may be a while before you are fully recovered. Don't rush things. Take it easy.

And remember this. You were fit. You could run half marathons. You will do so again. And because you were fit once then it will be easier for you to become fit again. You have the mental and physical reserves. You will be back.
