    How do parents, carers and family feel about the Covid vaccine going out to children now? I've declined daughter's.

    Matt Hancock has got himself a nice side job out of all this

    I personally have mixed feelings and doubts about the vaccine and possible myocarditis or heart inflammation.
    My child has no health issues and can make their own mind up but at present agrees with me.

    That's politics, you can fail at your job time and again yet there's a cushy job waiting for you whenever you want it. The contempt shown by politicians for the general public knows no bounds.

    Please don't say that you're surprised by that.

    The timing of Matt Hancock announcing his new job on the day of the cross party covid response report just proves he is laughing at us.

    Are you aware Hancock's new job is an unpaid?

    I'm sure he will have a generous expense account for his "unpaid" work.

    He shouldn't have time anyway as he already has a full time job as an MP

    Noticed over past week or so the number of positive cases has been going up again, around 10%. Just wondering if anyone can think of any reason? It went up when lockdowns/restrictions ended and when schools went back but can not think of anything that has pushed up the numbers this time.

    Behavioural? People increasingly letting their guard down bit by bit?

    Can't think of anything more solid than that.

    Probably right. Less and less people wearing masks. More things go back to closer to normal eg we can now go back into nursery with the boy rather than drop off and pick up at door

    Think that's on the high side myself
    More than 40% not double vaccinated is a fair countrywide estimate

    I'm talking those aged 12+, just looked again and it is about 62% double dosed and 69% single, compared to England as a whole at 70% and 76%

    It's probably gone up slightly as university have gone back and that has had time to mix which was a few weeks after the schools.

    Other than that like others have said just people gaining confidence and not worrying about it every 5min.
