nilebodgers Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I had a flu jab on Saturday at a local health centre and with all the COVID measures it took 55mins from joining the queue that ran 200m down the street outside to getting the injection. It was well organised, so no complaints, but it made me think about how difficult it is going to be to vaccinate almost the entire population. It is a truly immense task. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my flu vaccination recently, with all the covid measures I was in and out of building within a minute and a half, quicker than it ever has been before! I have no doubt I was lucky in this but despite it being an immense task to vaccinate (I doubt we'll make 70% of the population initially) I think it will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my first ever flu jab on friday. In and out in 10 minutes, and half of that time was just waiting for a few minutes afterwards in case I had a reaction to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Damn, I've had to turn down a Central London function gig next week as I'm out of town! Gutted! And I see that live music venues can open at 50% capacity and serve alcohol to ticket holders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must get a takeaway and stand outside and drink it as even the seats outside have been removed of quarantined. Despite the fact London has an infection rate as bad as where we live. Grrrrrr.

How are they defining 'live music venues' this time around? Any ideas? Are they treating something like an O2 Academy type venue differently to The Dog and Duck with a three piece band on a Saturday night?

MacDaddy Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 i did a lock-down gig first time around. Whereas it was nice to be able to play, the enforced lack of audience participation - no dancing or singing - was a bit dispiriting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Williams always used to tell his engineers to look at the FIA rule book twice, once to find out what we are allowed to do, and again to find out what we're allowed to not do! Without a clear definition then a lot of venues and bands will try to get back to gigging. As has been mentioned previously, whether this is within the 'spirit' of what the restrictions are trying to prevent is another matter.
