Yes i recall the other metrics regarding it. Not a fan of tiers either. Mainly due to geographical reasons as we are such a small country really. 1 minute ago, redjambo said: It's excellent!

I suppose it's a bit like the event horizon of a black hole. Once crossed, the virus can't, in theory, escape. The trouble being that a theoretical new variant could essentially become as good as a different virus and the reservoir of immunity becomes redundant.

milky_26 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Lord BJ said: There has been a bit of a issue within the Muslim community. It’s Ramadan and many are fasting, there was concerns that receiving the vaccination would break the fast. Muslim leaders/scholars seem to be largely in agreement that getting the jab will not break the fast as it contains no nutrients, To accommodate this they could offer them the vaccine at night when they are allowed to eat. And doing that might help the uptake by bame people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the months and months when we were told that 1 in 80 etc had Covid at any point, the 60k "cases" every day, the fact this has been on the go for 14months, probably circulating for several months unknown before that, and given that 55 or 60% of adults have been vaccinated, I'm astounded we haven't reached herd immunity several times over. Yes that’s true surely there must be a stat which stats how many have been infected ? It must be nearer the herd immunity level by now ? 2 hours ago, manaliveits105 said: When traffic light system comes in Labour want everybody to quarantine in hotels when they come back from abroad and pay for it - hopefully bobble heid wont jump on that bandwagon up here and damage her "popularity" even more “ bobble heid “ ? Never heard that before ? No that won’t get mentioned till after May 6th just like she won’t mention any serious threats to stalling lockdown restrictions until after then. I am genuinely worried that when she gets back in power her over “ cautious” approach will run rampant . 10 minutes ago, The Real Maroonblood said: Because of all the uncertainty I’ve ruled out going abroad in the summer this year. It’s not worth the hassle. Yes was considering Rome in June fir high culture and Benidorm in Sept for low culture ( I usually go to both places ) but I think both off the cards . I can live with that as Long as things opened up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always an extremely high risk of not happening. With Europe in the midst of a new wave I'd rule out anything until next Spring/Summer.

Taffin Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm going to play it unplanned I think. Book a week off and then a few weeks beforehand just book to wherever is green listed and has flights going. Might be nice to try somewhere new!

There are some ‘unique’ things about its but outside the obvious area, its very nice place. Good suggestion, I've never been but it looks a great place to visit but hadn't really considered it, makes sense to do so now 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm due to go to Majorca with Jet2 on 5th July (booked last summer when cases were close to zero). While it's still a possibility, I don't fancy paying the extra cost of testing, so I will probably end up cancelling before I have to pay the balance of my holiday at the end of this month.
