I am sat in a car park in town waiting for SWMBO to return with my beers etc and I cannot believe the amount of people on their own walking round with face coverings on do they think they can catch Covid when they are nowhere near anyone else.


Sending her out to get your beers!!

All adults in the UK will be offered their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine by the end of July, the prime minister has pledged.

More than 17 million people have been given a jab since the UK's Covid vaccine rollout began in December 2020.

But Boris Johnson said he now wants the programme to "go further and faster".

He said the July target would allow vulnerable people to be protected "sooner" and would help to further ease lockdown rules across the country.

NHS England chief executive Sir Simon Stevens said there were "early signs" the vaccine rollout was contributing to a fall in hospital admissions.

The PM is due to hold a final meeting with senior ministers about how to ease England's lockdown later, before he sets out the full "road map" on Monday.

Coronavirus: Latest data shows vaccine reduces transmission - Hancock

There is "early data" showing a reduction in transmission in people who have had a coronavirus vaccine, the health secretary has said.

Matt Hancock said hospital admissions were falling "much more sharply" than they were in the pandemic's first wave.
The government aims to offer a first jab to all adults in the UK by the end of July, with one in three adults already vaccinated, Mr Hancock said.
Boris Johnson will unveil his plan for ending England's lockdown on Monday.
The PM is due to hold a final meeting with senior ministers later, to finalise the details, before presenting them to MPs in the Commons on Monday afternoon. He will lead a Downing Street briefing in the evening.
The UK's devolved nations have the power to set their own restrictions, and have been moving at different speeds:
As part of the road map, Public Health England will publish new data on the impact of vaccines on transmission rates.
Mr Hancock told the BBC's Andrew Marr show on Sunday that he was "absolutely delighted" with the progress of the vaccine rollout.
But he added that while hospital admissions were falling, the level was still "far too high".
The health secretary reiterated the government's new plan to offer a jab to adults aged 50 and over and those in the top nine priority groups by 15 April, followed by all adults by the end of July.
The government's previous target was to offer all adults the first dose by September, but the PM has said he wants the rollout to "go further and faster".
Mr Johnson has said that this would give vulnerable people protection "sooner" and help to further ease lockdown restrictions across the country.
However, the order of priority for the under-50s has yet to be outlined by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).
Prof Adam Finn, a member of the JCVI, told BBC Breakfast earlier that he expected a public announcement would be made on vaccine priorities at some point in the next week.

Be interested to know how many under 50s here will actually have the jab? Straw poll?
 
Be interested to know how many under 50s here will actually have the jab? Straw poll?

If i was under 50 i would still have it i don't see any reason why they wouldn't want it , i have asked my Son who is 24 and he said he would have it.
 
See i told you it was quick, bet ya didn't even feel it athumb.. acheers.

It was absolutely fine. I walked in and was asked to sit on the bed type thing. I sat on and was about to lie down (like I always do for blood tests) and she said “no need to get too comfortable”. I briefly explained my usual process as I often pass out so she said “ok, you can lie down if you want”. Just as I was about to swing my second leg up onto the bed it was all done 😂🤣
 
Breaking news.


Shops, hairdressers, gyms and outdoor hospitality will reopen on 12 April in England if strict conditions are met, under plans being set out by the PM.


Up to six people from separate households could be able to meet in beer gardens from that date.
The new four-step plan to ease lockdown could see all legal limits on social contact lifted by 21 June.
It requires four tests on vaccines, infection rates and new coronavirus variants to be met at each stage.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson told MPs the plan aimed to be "cautious but irreversible" and at every stage decisions would be led by "data not dates".
But he warned there was "no credible route to a zero-Covid Britain nor indeed a zero-Covid world".
It comes as the first data on the UK's coronavirus vaccine rollout suggests it is having a "spectacular" impact on stopping serious illness.

Step-by-step

As part of the first step of the plan for easing lockdown in England:
  • From 8 March - All schools will open with outdoor after-school sports and activities allowed. Recreation in an outdoor public spaces - such as a park - will be allowed between two people, meaning they would be allowed to sit down for a coffee, drink or picnic

  • From 29 March - Outdoor gatherings of either six people or two households will be allowed. It is understood this will include gatherings in private gardens. Outdoor sports facilities such as tennis or basketball courts will reopen and organised adult and children's sport, such as grassroots football, will also return
Secondary school pupils can access tests and will be required to wear face coverings in classrooms and shared spaces like corridors.
The second step from 12 April would see major parts of the economy permitted to reopen:
  • Non-essential retail opens, hairdressers and public buildings like libraries and museums
  • Outdoor settings like alcohol takeaways, beer gardens, zoos and theme parks
  • Indoor leisure like swimming pools and gyms
  • Self-contained holiday accommodation, such as self-catering lets and camp sites
But wider social contact rules will continue to apply in all settings - meaning no indoor mixing between different households will be allowed.
Mr Johnson confirmed the end of hospitality curfews - and requirements to eat a substantial meal alongside alcohol.
He said a review of international leisure travel restrictions would be announced by 12 April at the earliest.
Funerals continue with up to 30 people, and weddings with up to 15 guests.
The third step will come from 17 May - if the data allows - and will see the "rule of six" abolished for outdoor gatherings, replaced with a limit of 30 people:
  • Two households can mix indoors - with the rule of six applied in hospitality settings like pubs
  • Cinemas, hotels, performances and sporting events reopen - though social distancing remains
  • Up to 10,000 spectators can attend the very largest outdoor seated venues like football stadiums
Up to 30 people will be able to attend weddings, receptions, funerals and wakes.
Mr Johnson said this step would also "consider the potential role of Covid status certification" - which could refer to so-called "vaccine passports" - in helping indoor venues to reopen safely.
The fourth step from 21 June will potentially see all legal limits on social contact removed, with the final closed sectors of the economy reopened - such as nightclubs.
The government hopes that - from this date - restrictions on weddings and funerals will also be abolished.
