Season ticket sales

Not sure - I guess if Bradford was subject to a temporary circuit break, and there happened to be a football match in that period, then it would be a behind closed doors match.

 

NHS

 

Looks like any circuit break will be nationwide. The way both sides of the political debate are talking second lockdown is coming sooner rather than later

 

Well ain't covid-19 gonna just love that.

 

Aye, lots going on as always. You wouldn’t believe some of the things that crop up.... Will keep an ear out though.

 

I have my doubts too, but I’m only saying what I’ve heard! (I posted about mass testing/moonshot about 2-3 weeks before it was announced)

Boris also wants to get the economy going - football is a big part of that.

 

Regarding @Dennis point about the flu season, local pharmacist said over 65's due to start getting their jabs in October but under 65's to wait a while yet.

Bugger!

 

Well at our GP practice, both over and under 65 flu vaccinations are being given now.

 

Over 65 and those under 65 with other issues can get it now, and private patients.

the wait for 50-64 is if you don’t want to pay and you have no other conditions, eg asthma. They haven’t set a date for it yet, or even promised it will happen as it is depending on availability.

If you can I would suggest paying for it and getting it now. We got ours on Thursday

 

The US Centre for Disease Control said swab testing has too many false negatives (30%?) for passporting on its own and quick blood tests (three strip blood spot test) give too many false positives from other coronaviruses and don't pick it up early enough. Lab blood tests are too slow. If passporting worked, we'd probably be using it already, though it is worrying swab testing is being used to let some people skip quarantine when entering from higher infected countries. It relies on testing negative at the airport and then again in a second test after a couple of days at home. With 30% false negatives, that would still let 9% who were infected avoid quarantine. In practice, some would develop symptoms so it would probably work out less than 9% but 5% or 7% of infected people skipping quarantine would be too high for me. This is actually in operation. I think this government is crazy.

 

From which countries can you do two tests to avoid quarantine?

 

Looks like availability is patchy, i will wait until October and if no invite/text i am sure the big supermarkets will be doing them for a small cost.

 

do you have any medical issue? Eg asthma etc that entitles you to a free jab.

if not just get one now. Looking at previous years there are usually shortages October/November without all the panic

 

Yep to your first part, but if they dont pull their finger out then i will go elsewhere, however i do know one of the two full-time nurses who usually do the job and always ask the awkward questions to her like why are there no more doctors and nurses taken on when our local population is increasing.
The privatised health centre tends to get locums to cover than employ newbies.
The flu jab is one of our success stories and there is not many others to shout about at the moment.

 

If you are due it free due to other reasons and not just age just go get it now. Ring your local Boots/Lloyds etc and book now. Be quicker than waiting for your GP and still free via the NHS.

 

Wibsey....Know it well.

 

It seems it did not start as planned. I'd read reports it was starting a few weeks back but had not seen that it was put on hold at the last minute. Please accept my apologies.

Last month, Travel firms Collinson and Swissport said they were poised to begin offering coronavirus testing for some arriving passengers. A negative test would, in theory, allow a passenger to bypass the U.K.’s mandatory 14-day quarantine for those who wouldn’t otherwise be exempt. However, the move was subject to government approval that now seems highly unlikely.

 

With previous trials the local authorities can step in and block any events. I wonder if that would happen here with the continuous increase in cases

 

Just been told there is now a nationwide shortage of the QiV vaccine for under 65s.

apparently Lloyds Have started cancelling next 5 weeks appointments
