Just heard from a friend that some areas have gone back into a loose lockdown including parts of London, although there has been no major announcement just changes to official advice!

I think we are going to hit a tipping point where those who have had 2 jabs and are FAR more less likely to end up in hospital are going to end up resenting those that don't get the vaccine and are ending up ill and by extension keeping the country under restrictions

And vice versa, sadly! I have seen some really angry comments about people choosing to wear masks in parks etc! We are going to have to find a way to respect each other's choices even if we don't understand or like them!

I get the impression they're shying away from that somewhat now. I mean, I know bugger all, but I still like my theory that nature abhors a vacuum, i.e. the new variant picked up the slack of the old variant.

You're not kidding. There is NOTHING new to suggest why they can't meet, and they were allowed to last Autumn when we were in a significantly worse position than we are now. I'm £1,200 in the hole again for three gigs that were rebooked for mid-June and now can't happen.

Also, it's not just amateur singers and their hobby - the industry is probably equivalent to fishing; there are 44,000 or so choirs in this country. That's 44,000 professional conductors and accompanists, the music hire companies who have lost revenue, the professional soloists (usually four, three times a year), the professional orchestras who tend to accompany amateur choirs, the school and church halls who don't have hire income. I did some rough numbers and my estimate is that has (further) blitzed the income of about half to three quarters of a million people.

BREAKING: Single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine approved for use in UK​

A single-shot coronavirus vaccine from Johnson & Johnson has been approved for use in the UK.

Matt Hancock said: “This is a further boost to the UK’s hugely successful vaccination programme, which has already saved over 13,000 lives, and means that we now have four safe and effective vaccines approved to help protect people from this awful virus.

“As Janssen is a single-dose vaccine, it will play an important role in the months to come as we redouble our efforts to encourage everyone to get their jabs and potentially begin a booster programme later this year.”

I hope they clear the Novavax soon - I've got a few colleagues and a couple of family who were on the trial (I offered myself but they weren't interested in people who'd had Covid at that point), know they're fully vaccinated, and don't even have it on their medical record as it's not approved yet.
