Front page of the Times (I think it is?) suggesting today that outdoor sports and outdoor meetings (probably rule of 6) will be returning early into the re-opening, as hoped.

Woop Woop under 100, numbers continue to fall nicely. Still a long way to go.

As of 8am today BSUH have 98 patients positive with Covid.

What was that figure say three weeks ago?

That means the very last over 50. Hopefully early April for the first 54 year old.

Beer gardens for sure.

Let's hope this April / May is as good weather wise as last year's was

honestly I cant remember, at the height of this wave I think we were well over 250, numbers are fluid day to day, I only report confirmed cases. We have suspected cases, awaiting results etc...

But the point is, nice downward trend

The Oxford/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine is just as effective at fighting the UK variant as it is the original virus, new research suggests.

Oxford University researchers who developed the vaccine say it has a similar efficacy against the variant first detected in Kent and the south-east of the UK as it has against the original form of Covid-19 that it was tested on.

Andrew Pollard, professor of paediatric infection and immunity, and chief investigator on the Oxford vaccine trial, said: “Data from our trials … in the United Kingdom indicate that the vaccine not only protects against the original pandemic virus, but also protects against the novel variant B117, which caused the surge in disease from the end of 2020 across the UK.”

My mum and dad have both had their vaccines today. Seeing as my brother lives at home and works in a supermarket it has always been a source of concern.

What is this I'm feeling in the middle of my chest?

Is it...is it hope? Is this what hope feels like?!

I think I like it.

Depends if you had a big lunch, if so it might be time to take a quick slug of Gaviscon and see if it goes away.

Still a few tricky times to navigate but I'm genuinely excited for this summer.

That's when the crowds came out and social distancing got flushed down the toilet. When the sun comes out so do the Covid rats. Unfortunately
