There is a light at the end of the tunnel....
 
The falls may be levelling off and the R rate may rise again according to this:

Presumably because we haven't locked down as tightly as we did in March despite the virus being more transmissible. This will ultimately lead to the need for an even longer lockdown than otherwise would have been needed. So as well had having one of the worse death rates our economy will take one of the biggest hits. I blame Corbyn.
 
Not really a shock, can’t see crowds for anything before the September vaccine date the government are aiming for, let alone a hundred thousand people camping in fields for a weekend.
 
Being over 80 had my jab on Tuesday, told it wont go into the immune system for the first 10 days then 21 days before taking any effect, even then only about 59%. Have to wait up to 12 weeks before having the 2nd one which will be 95% effective after 7 days. Unfortunately looks like most of you guys and ladies will have a long wait for yours.

As I understand it, the 59%/95% figures are the numbers of people that will develop an immune reaction as a consequence of the vaccine rather than the effectiveness of said reaction.

Have to say I'm impressed with our local G.P. Surgeries here in Maldon (Essex). My drinking buddies and I are all early 70s and we were contacted by Text on Monday this week inviting to book appt for the Jab. All three of us have appts for tomorrow at our Council Offices which is now the local hub. Plenty of parking and two miles away.
 
monitor this if you have any backbone blowfish.
