    Yes, I note from your figures that Bedford is going up more rapidly than Luton, from a lower base, and is predicted to surge past the Hatters and score in the last minute of time added on. May have got a little confused there.

    However, what it does show is a) that the Tier system doesn't seem to be working, b) closing pubs or limiting access to drinks-with-meals-only doesn't have the desired effect either, and c) Luton should never have been in non-league in the first place. Quite clearly they deserve to be in the Championship.

    Agreed. The two main factors are seasonality and community immunity.

    The areas affected now are those less-well connected to the initial outbreak, and where the sunny April did one for the virus.

    Lockdowns only work if absolute - not that I want to give them any ideas.

    This whole charade is about giving the impression of Doing Something. And just watch them take the credit when it vanishes naturally as all SARS have done.

    Round here we got summoned for our flu jabs by text, no idea what happens with people who haven't got a mobile phone. Like my mum.
    My mother has to wait in the surgery for 15 minutes after the jab - I suppose this is to make sure there aren't any immediate adverse reactions such as anaphylaxis. I imagine that this will slow things down. Apparently we have inoculated 138,000 people in the first week. According to my [appalling] maths, at this rate it will take nine years to do everyone.

    A few weeks back I got summoned by text to have a flu jab, so now I'm officially elderly. Made an appointment for five days later and a day before, got a text saying my surgery had run out of jabs. I don't understand why they can't make appointments according to the number of shots they have - no sign of a repeat invitation either.

    I suspect the jab is saline, in which case no concern. Since no-one sensible should accept something injected to them without knowing ingredients (heroin users feel free to interject here). Which hasn't been tested, has been indemnified on those pumping the shite into your arm, go ahead,

    Gosh, you really have swallowed all that fake news, haven't you! Back here in the real world, the Pfizer vaccine has been reported as having been tested on 43,000 volunteers, a process that was followed closely by the UK's regulatory body before it was approved.

    Watch the outtakes during the end credits of Episode 6: 'My bowl awaits!' then realises the import of what she's just said.

    There are already reports of harm from the "vaccine". Easy to find away from the fake news alphabet broadcasters.

    It's everyones own personal choice whether they take the jab or not, I don't need anti's or pro's trying to sway me either way. Personally as it stands I'll be straight in for it, if theres a chance of normality coming back quicker I'm happy with any (if any) risk factor , I've had enough of things as they are and I'm only in tier 2.

    I see there's no mention that every single one of the people Edward Jenner vaccinated in 1796 is now dead. Kept that quiet didn't they?
