Shock horror.

And another 4 weeks after that no doubt

Hursty so-called “Freedom Day” delayed?! Yeah I’m stunned! Astounded! Bewildered! Shocked! Flabbergasted! Baffled! Amazed! Aghast! Knocked for six! Aghast! Befuddled! Taken aback! Dumbstruck! Astounded!

zackster Totally separate note here but… @hugopal it looks like Freddy K played a big outdoor in the streets of Berlin yesterday. Did you kick it at all?

Had no idea, seems like it was just part of some kind of protest march.

Hursty

hugopal FOUR MORE WEEKS, FOUR MORE WEEKS!

We will hear around this time in July lol

Smallman1

Is the Sasha and Maceo Plex Renaissance gig in Brighton off?

Hursty

Smallman1 They are early July, so I expect so. Complete shower isn’t it

alistair

Smallman1 They plan to do a Lloyd Webber and play regardless. The show must go on

wrongun

Smallman1 I fucking hope not but as its July 17th and everyone is saying 19th July is the next proposed date for full unlock then I’m not overly confident

Blame Boris Johnson for the India variant…his and nobody else’s fault

Homegrove

Jules72 how well you were doing, as opposed to how it’s going now is quite the acchievement for sure.

Zero new Covid-infections among tested in the greater Turku-are in the last 24 hours.

👍

Jules72

Homegrove the truth of it is that the variant will be everywhere pretty soon… it’s a matter of getting everyone double jabbed before that’s the case.

Hearing of quite a few new covid cases this week - daughter’s school and another U.K. office of my company….

Hursty

I will ask again, do people genuinely believe we will completely unlock all restrictions this year in the UK?

alistair

Hursty No

mono-stereo

Hursty I think we will, but this talk of no going back ever to restrictions once they’ve been lifted is preposterous.

alistair

Hursty and then the most vulnerable who got their vaccines first will need their booster shots and the cycle will go on. If you can’t lift them at the height of summer then you’re almost certainly looking at these restrictions persisting and tightening into the winter

Homegrove

Jules72 most cases here still come from friends and family, and the very few traces of foreign source are traced quickly and everyone quaranteed. That will change because the pressure to open the country for tourists, and especially foreign workers will become too big. I hope we have the vaccinations up by then, now it’s 51 % first jab, 13 % two jabs. Which isn’t anything against the Delta.

…the wife tested positive this morning, she had Pfizer, I had the AZ

Homegrove

Unbroken1 how is she feeling? You better now?

Kells77

Unbroken1 Oh man…so sorry to hear that! Wishing you both the best. 🤗

California is due to lift restrictions tomorrow. Can’t wait.

Unbroken1

Homegrove …yeah I’m OK, she’s feeling a bit rough, has loss of taste/smell which I didn’t.

Common factor with Delta variant seems to be much more familiar cold symptoms, sore throat, congestion etc… after the vaccine at least, presumably potential to be much more serious without.

Jules72

Unbroken1 Damo has she had two jabs too? More than 2 weeks before catching it?

Smallman1

Outdoor gigs will be fine lads, worry ye self not.
