I've always thought that if I could time travel I'd go back in time, assuming I was purely an observer and couldn't change anything. Wouldn't want to mess anything up.
West Highlands in June for me, it's probably the one thing to look forward to, with a definite date, that's helped me get through this.
All being well I'll be taking my son and daughter on the Jacobite steam train from Fort William to Mallaig and just enjoying the Highlands in general.
I liberated many from the top shelf of a newsagent when I was a paperboy back in the late 90's, got caught one day though so ended up getting the gooner.
Then the Internet became a thing and they were never to be seen again.
It took me a while to realise that this is good news as at first I failed to see that it was as a percentage of serious cases, not the number of serious cases.
That's quite a dramatic drop off.
If that's all over 70's getting an invitation to vaccinate then that's my parents expecting a...
Another 324,711 doses given today, of which just shy of 321,000 were first doses which means over 3 million people have had at least 1 dose now.
For those ITK, or more so than I am, are the numbers expected to dip at the weekends or is it just a case of ploughing on through?
The night is always darkest just before the dawn, its what I've been saying to myself these past few days as there have been a number of positive cases in the team I work with closely and therefore T&T has wiped out 75% of that department. It brought it really close to home and my mental health...
The way I see it is if we do have capacity for 3.5m jabs a week that is still 1.75m a week receiving their first dose and another 1.75m getting their second jab once that time comes around for people. It's too early and I haven't had a cup of tea this morning so I can't do the maths to work out...
Still down by 14,797 compared to last week.
Guardian reporting 4% have received an initial dose as well which is an easy one to covert, that's 1 in 25 people have had the first dose.
Railway workers for one would utilise this I feel, our shift times really are all over the place and an appointment outside of normal hours on the way home from work would be ideal, finish your shift at 2am, jabbed by 3am and home to bed.
I've seen this asked on twitter a couple of times and I will give the same response here as I have there.
I'd take it on a pineapple suppository, sideways, if it was offered to me that way.
The Guardian list all their data relative to the previous week, I assume to counteract the difference in reporting methods throughout the week. It was down 12,615 compared to last Monday.
I think the 2 things that stuck out on the various reports about the mass vaccination centres this morning was the capability of doing a jab every 15 seconds and that there are "dozens" of them planned.
