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

Mrs Jakarta, as a Cancer survivor, got her vaccine notification today. Unfortunately it means a trip to Midhurst but what the Hell, it's a nice drive out there.
I'm a few years younger than Her and haven't had the Big C so who knows when I will get mine. Don't care as long as She is OK.

Just got my appointment for Sunday morning in Portslade. 
They're vaccinating the clinically extremely vulnerable Sunday through to Thursday so it looks like they'll hit the ambitious target.
Bloody brilliant.
Hopefully I don't get snowed in
Going to miss a bit of the test match though

If my maths is correct, the UK has accounted for around 10% of all worldwide vaccinations.

Reckon you should be OK - most of the serious snow is supposed to be confined to Kent and East Anglia on Sunday and Monday.
Good luck; delighted for you

plus, with a bit of luck, I can pick up the test on C4+1 when I get back and not miss too much

2,578 hospital admissions - DOWN 17.8% rolling 7 days (over 5k fewer)
Deaths DOWN 17.8% rolling 7 days - highest the % fall has been in second wave I believe

The media are finally starting to report the falls in data that we've spotted for a while now (or are now being allowed to) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55951378

Five reasons to be (cautiously) hopeful (from the BBC) - clear the media narrative is shifting to the more positive at long last :

Some positive stats in the UK for your Friday evening:
For 7 day average by date reported:
- Cases down 26.5% ↓
- Patients admitted to hospital down 20.8% ↓
- Deaths down 17.8% ↓
- Vaccinations up 23% ↑
The section "The mutations can be beaten" is especially reassuring.

Tedious chump
Even more good news: there is no "media narrative". Most journalists and editors in the same organisations have wildly varying approaches to interpreting the figures.
Disagree. The media (inc the BBC) have been relentlessly negative throughout. Great to see them finally turning the corner.

.......and back to the good stuff
This thread is great for sharing the positive stories but it is understandable that the media's coverage of a global pandemic has been a bit gloomy, is it not?
