UK reports over 6,000 more COVID cases and another 13 deaths today. The numbers are creeping up

If it keeps doubling every 3 days. We could be seeing 20k÷ new infections a day by this time next week.

Second dose been brought forward to June 13th from July 1st. I'd put it off a couple of times but finally decided I better have it

1st June 3,304 new infections. Todays figure is 6,238 its almost doubled in 3 days. This is starting to look worrying

Are we seeing the start of the 3rd wave ? Number of people testing positive for coronavirus rises to highest level since April A total of 17,162 people tested positive for COVID-19 in England at least once in the week to 26 May, up 22% on the previous week, according to the latest Test and Trace figures. It is the highest number of people testing positive since the week to 14 April.

I'll just leave this here https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9629563/Chinese-scientists-created-COVID-19-lab-tried-cover-tracks-new-study-claims.html EXCLUSIVE: COVID-19 'has NO credible natural ancestor' and WAS created by Chinese scientists who then tried to cover their tracks with 'retro-engineering' to make it seem like it naturally arose from bats, explosive new study claims An explosive new study claims researchers found 'unique fingerprints' in COVID-19 samples that they say could only have arisen from manipulation in a laboratory DailyMail.com exclusively obtained the new 22-page paper authored by British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr. Birger Sørensen set to be published in the Quarterly Review of Biophysics Discovery The study showed there's evidence to suggest Chinese scientists created the virus while working on a Gain of Function project in a Wuhan lab Gain of Function research, which was temporarily outlawed in the US, involves altering naturally-occurring viruses to make them more infectious in order to study their potential effects on humans According to the paper, Chinese scientists took a natural coronavirus 'backbone' found in Chinese cave bats and spliced onto it a new 'spike', turning it into the deadly and highly transmissible COVID-19 The researchers, who concluded that COVID-19 'has no credible natural ancestor', also believe scientists reverse-engineered versions of the virus to cover up their tracks 'We think that there have been retro-engineered viruses created,' Dalgleish told DailyMail.com. 'They've changed the virus, then tried to make out it was in a sequence years ago.' The study also points to 'deliberate destruction, concealment or contamination of data' in Chinese labs and notes that 'scientists who wished to share their findings haven't been able to do so or have disappeared' Until recently, most experts had staunchly denied the origins of the virus were anything other than a natural infection leaping from animals to humans Earlier this week, Dr. Anthony Fauci defended US funding of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, saying the $600,000 grant was not approved for Gain of Function research

Slowly creeping up again with the numbers doubling every 7 days. The Indian variant is now in 181 areas in the UK. Last week it was in 73 its spreading very fast by the looks of things. Another 4,182 COVID-19 cases have been reported in the UK - the highest daily total since 1 April.

Apparently Bruce is getting a £12 million pound transfer budget for next season. Also Ashley has put a valuation of £70 million on St Maximin. I can see someone offering £60 million & Ashley snatching their hand off.

Frank's far more classier than Boris. Boris is just a bastard

Just seen this on Sky News website its unbelievable https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-1-5m-people-flew-to-uk-in-first-four-months-of-2021-when-borders-were-meant-to-be-heavily-restricted-12318777

Here we go again The number of cases of the Indian COVID variant in England has risen by 3,535 to 6,959 since last week, according to official figures

What did he say what did he say 😁

Nice one Quiffy

Tried to do as much as we could. Family meals, took grandkids to Hemsby to the arcades. Did a bit of shopping etc. You only go on 3 roads for the journey but its a canny travel it took 5hours 20 minutes with one stop to get home yesterday. I'm feeling a bit tired today but it was worth it. I'm so proud of Mrs T she drove excellent

Just got back from a weekend in Norwich seeing some of our family down there there. Had a nice meal at the Acle Bridge Inn its right beside the Norfolk Broads on Sunday afternoon. It felt good getting back to some kind of normality

Expecting something like this form Boris at his next Covid news conference. If your in the area don't go out. But if your out the area don't go in. But if you work in the area you can go in or out. So just to recap. If you work in the area you can go "in out in out spread it all about"

One of my sons & his girlfriend live together in Cramlington but both work in North Tyneside how will this affect them traveling to work ? Son works at Royal Mail, his girlfriend is a Dr's receptionist.

Hancock to hold news conference at 5pm today. Probably due to the confusion over travelling out of the country. Sky are reporting... "Thousands of people have reportedly travelled to destinations on the amber list since the ban on foreign holidays was lifted on Monday. More than 150 flights are reported to have left on Monday to places such as France, Greece, Spain and the US" This has all the hallmarks for another wave to come into the country. Shirley the best thing to do would be to have a green light & red light system. While trying to get a hold on the Indian virus that seems to be spreading rapidly around our country at the minute.

This was from yesterday's Mirror. I thought they'd stopped all the flights from "red light" countries ? https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/heathrow-chaos-passengers-stand-next-24129742

I went to the Toby Carvery (i know) last night at Shiremoor with Mrs T & 2 of the kids. It was ok & got us out for a bit. One way system in the main door, out the fire exit. We booked for 6 o clock it was fairly quiet. It started to get busier as we were leaving.

The Mail reporting its not looking good for June 21st. Probably the return of the tier system. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html

The 12 Founding Clubs who announced the venture on Sunday evening purchased equity stakes of around £8million each in the Super League, which its creators ultimately hoped to turn into global competition that would dominate club football. It emerged yesterday that the English clubs could also face financial penalties for pulling out as the ESL contract signed last week contained clauses committing them for at least three years.

This from someone at N.O. apparently part C has been broken
