    The conspiracy theorist in me thinks the government is trying to scare those who haven’t had the first to take theirs, by saying most in hospital haven’t had the vaccine. Then convince those who haven’t been for their 2nd to take theirs because the first vaccine is only 33% effective. I only hope we can talk about something else in the near future, we have to move on for everyone’s mental health. Bottom line is take the jab if you’re afraid, it at least gives a little bit more protection.

    No restriction on Rochdale fans travelling to Cougar Park yesterday that seemed a bit strange.

    That's not true is it? I saw there was about 5,000 so far in 2021 the other day.

    This appears to be being pushed in the local papers today. YorkshireLive - Yorkshire News, Sport, Events & more (examinerlive.co.uk) has it as one of their top stories and the Lancashire Telegraph also is running a similar story.

    Last week Sturgeon banned people from Scotland from travelling to Bedford, Blackburn and Bolton and the same in reservse.

    I think we will see very shortly a roll out of these restrictions into a more enforcable manor rather than the guidance they are.

    Bolton, Burnley, Blackburn and Leicester have been there throughout but not all areas of these Towns and Cities have high rates, there are just pockets of them.

    Getting people vaccinated is a good start, beyond that we will see what happens.

    Cases are rising in these areas but not going up elsewhere, and thats on the back of over 6m+ tests a week.
    More importantly admittance to hospital and deaths are still in decline.

    It was weird have a day where Covid wasn't the main topic of conversation.

    Scotland has a lot of uninhabited islands for those who can't hack the new normal.

    It certainly reads like guidance, and as you say they have absolutely no way of enforcing it.

    My brother in living within Kirklees if he rocked up at my house I wouldn't be turning him away, nor would this guidance stop me from heading over there.

    The acid test so to speak happens when say Wigan play Huddersfield in the rugby and if they over rule the sale of tickets to Wigan fans for example, which at this stage I doubt they would do.

    I think it was a fair enough response to a post that was either a total lie or made without checking the facts first.

    Bradford gave up on social distancing and mask wearing months ago when that kind of thing was apparently enforceable.

    A Conservative MP from one of the affected areas has just been interviewed on the Today programme. He confirmed that the restrictions on travelling etc are 'recommendations' and not 'regulations'. He was generally scathing about what is being implemented and althought not saying it directly, he inferred it was all unenforceable and was critical about the manner in which it is being introduced and communicated.
