If you haven't clicked on "the two most beautiful twins, what do they look like now" link at the bottom of every NSC page, then I reckon you can have a clean conscience

Zoom in on this map, & it will make you smile. Amazing to think where we are now in Sussex (cases etc), compared to just a few weeks ago.

I've got a female teenage pole vaulter, a day at the beach gone wrong, a pair of knee braces, and cremation in Burnley. It's like the story of my life (except for the bit about the pole vaulter!)

But not to derail the topic, my mother's second jab is on Thursday, my first is next Tuesday, and the sun is shining. (OK, that last bit is a lie as well.)

I'm sure you can work out where the algorithm got 'teenage' and 'pole' from

Worth reading the letter attached to this tweet :

Vacc supplies will be minimal this week (so numbers will be v significantly reduced) but this is ahead of a significant ramping up as supplies increase and includes specific instructions to be prepared to deliver double the number of jabs delivered last week..............

My back garden backs on to a school field and I must admit it was a nice thing to hear.

No, I'm not a peado. Yes, in 3 weeks time I'll be sick of it again.

Im not a peado is what a peado not wanting to be caught would say.

I’ve finally got mine booked and my second one as well. Believe it or not I’m having them done at selhurst park of all places. Wish me luck

Scores on the doors.......new daily low numbers in this wave on ALL the three main figures :

Infections - 4,712, rolling 7 day down 26.2%
Deaths - 65, rolling 7 day down 34.4%
Admissions - 688, rolling 7 day down 30.1%

Vaccinations - 164k first and 20k second. 22.37m and 1.14m cumulative.

Several thousand pricks at Selhurst apparently......good news but nothing particularly new

I hope for your sake they do it somewhere more hygienic than the Arthur Waite Stand!

Yep, and that's week-old data.

You'll get yours, but only after the Holmesdale Fanatics have had theirs else they're not coming back.

But good luck.

Good luck. Do they play the goal music when the jab goes in ?

BREAKING: The American Centre for Disease Control (CDC) has released guidance saying fully vaccinated grandparents can visit safely with unvaccinated grandchildren.


I see this as good news. They are highly confident it works properly.

This figure is the key highlight from todays figures as it will include a big majority of all the home lateral flow tests carried out yesterday at home by staff and children returning to school today.

Yes and no - it was actually reported 150k+ higher yesterday but the reporting is all over the place, hence never worth focusing on a single day's numbers (if you look behind the numbers, virtually none are in fact from the previous 24 hours). I also think the infection figure might rise occasionally as lockdown eases, so personally more interested in admissions and deaths as these are the most important in terms of the vaccs working (ie people not getting seriously ill)

Anyway, all going in very much the right direction, and rapidly

Just curious and not wishing to derail things but earlier I saw England announcing a figure of just over 100 deaths. It's good that the UK number is lower but I can't work out why.
