Sounds very like the decision to let Cheltenham go ahead last year. But this is why so many people I know who are sensible level beaded and have given up on covid rules. I went to the England Sri Lanka international, we had to prove 2 jabs or a LFT negative test. They barely glanced at our covid pass. Then England tram are isolating due to having 5 (I think) positive cases seriously!

I suspect this may be why restrictions are being lifted not many would entertain being holed up when footie fans are taking the p!ss

fuzzyduck79 Jul 2021 11:22pm, 7 Jul 2021 385 posts	0 fuzzyduck79 I've seen two notices locally for walk in Pfizer first jabs to anyone over 18 this week, but also stating no second jabs, must book eight week gap. This guy seems to be the best source of info for how vaccine supplies are looking: twitter.com Some anecdotal evidence (including a doctor on R4 earlier today) saying Pfizer stocks are low. Which all fits with the bizarre explanation given by government/JCVI as to why we wouldn't offer jab to all 12-17 year olds that want it. We were supposed to have 60M doses of Novavax being produced in England, but seems to be still no word on approval/production. Someone put in a FOI request a few weeks ago to ask what the situation was, the response is a bit comical: gov.uk
