Tickets boxed off for the Sefton Park gig, can't wait.

Will have to wait to see who else is playing. On the other hand, any gig will do me after all the cancellations last year.

EDIT.... Liverpool residents only, but i am still pleased an effort is being made to bring back live music. Have a great time whoever on here is going .

Lots of curves here - the European excess deaths tracking agency. the red dashed line is a significant rise in the expected death rate. Shows very clearly the age groups worst affected (younger than you might think) and also worth remembering that the upward swing of the spikes was generally brought down with the stringent measures.

Watch out for the North Face Ninjas paragliding in from the tower blocks mate.

Eyes to the skies.

Looks like the Indian strain is growing in concern. Can't see how we go backwards now in restrictions just hope the NHS is up to the task if the worst fears are realised.

Covid: Indian variant being investigated in UK

Some cases of the Indian variant have been found that are not linked to travel, a scientist says.

Doing a great job...if only the much vaunted EU, who tell us they make all the vaccines, could even compare at any level with the USA.....

Did you skip the Telegraph this weekend Pete?

They had a big article arguing that Europe will catch up with the UK in a few weeks.

Nothing in that article to see it as a “VOC” at this stage, especially since they state in it that there isn’t enough information available at present to declare it as such.

I honestly cannot see it evading the vaccines, every time a new variant comes along the MSM seem to hope it “escapes” them just so fear sells news.

I think the 28 day average fell?, 183 this week over the past seven days and 251 over the past seven days on Sunday 11th April.

Always a good post, especially since we never get on the MSM sites the 60 day cut off.

If India were not manufacturing the vaccines for us they would have been on the red list quite some time ago.

Its definitely time to get them on the red list.

Not a chance Boris is panicking because the EU are talking to India again in a few weeks about a trade deal. He's desperate to get a step on them.

So he's clearly following the science economics as he's always done.
