    the current booster plan is just another shot of the current Pfizer jab rather than a reworked one

    I get that to an extent.

    If T&T rung you though and explained that you'd been near someone who had tested positive would you still self isolate for 10 days?

    If I am ill I wouldn't really leave the house, but I would not get tested to see if I had something when I didn't feel unwell.

    Bolton and Blackburn first closely followed by Bradford
    Lockdown 4 is just around the corner
    It's all about giving everyone the "trial" vaccine not about the virus

    Whilst the media keep stirring the pot on a population of vaccinated vulnerable people, hospital waiting lists hit 5m.

    11 deaths today within 28 days of a positive test. I wonder how many of the waiting 5m people might die off before treatment.

    But wait the Indian variant let's scare every about that when there is no proof it vaccine proof.

    I keep seeing people online talking about being able to go to Portugal from next week for holidays. There is the small issue that currently their border is closed for non essential travel from the UK. The EU are not meeting till near the end of the month to look at changing enter into EU

    They have said that for the Cup Final, only chartered planes can take the fans, the fans will have to remain within a Bubble and will only be able to stay in Portugal for a maximum of 48 hours.

    UEFA picking Porto because it allows their sponsors and partners free reign but leaves the fans treated like lepers goes to prove the rubbish they were spouting about being for the fans when the Super League popped up.

    It was more a general comment about people talking online about our green list countries without taking into account the entry restrictions

    I know, I was just adding the arrangement over and above the not allowing people on a plane to Portugal from the 17th May for the CL final as detailed by the news.

    In fact there is good evidence that the vaccines remain highly effective against this variant (B.1.617.2). If you look at the current situation against the government's four tests, we still remain in a good place.
    1. The vaccine deployment programme continues successfully.
    2. Evidence shows vaccines are sufficiently effective in reducing hospitalisations and deaths in those vaccinated.
    3. Infection rates do not risk a surge in hospitalisations which would put unsustainable pressure on the NHS.
    4. The assessment of the risks is not fundamentally changed by new variants of concern.
    1. is an emphatic yes.
    2. is also a yes, including against known variants.
    3. remains a yes, despite a few hotspots.
    4. is still a yes, at the moment.
    This Indian (B.1.617.2) variant is spreading rapidly amongst the under 50s/unvaccinated population in the hot spot areas and we do need to take some local actions in those areas. Surge testing, surge tracing and surge vaccinating may be enough to keep this variant under 'control' but, as always, all options should remain on the table.

    Hopefully, these local actions will be successful and we can carry on with the roadmap (according to the current timetable) back towards normality.

    I agree, I'm supportive of the vaccine, I suggest everyone gets in and we get back to life.

    The number of people who have had the vaccine but are still ready to hide under the bed completely baffles me.

    I'm guessing the people at the BBC don't believe people have been going into each others houses and hugging people already. How to safely hug. Not much confidence in the vaccine it appears.

    Watching Newsnight last night and they were talking about charities not being able to help as they could because of the restrictions put on by the Indian government, help is available but the changes mean non-government organisations (NGOs) operating in India can't distribute any foreign contributions to other groups, and all funding from abroad must be placed in a specific bank account in the capital, Delhi.

    Talk about not helping yourself.

    The Prime Minister will host a coronavirus press conference at 17:00 BST, Downing Street says.

    Stand strong Boris, don't bow down to those who are screaming for more lockdowns due to the Indian Variant.
