Aye, there were def folk stayin in the one behind our house into April. I was surprised, thinking they were sposed to be closed. Dunno bowt Old Park Wood ( Holker )that’s a bit more well to do. Nice spot, and good fishing off the back of there
This, I think is interesting.
This afternoon my in-laws went for their second Covid Jab having had the first one on 16th of December. They attended at the same place, a hub set up to inoculate residents served by 10 or 12 GP's surgery's in that area.
At the first visit they said it was very busy and everyone was given the second appointment at that time. However, today it was less than half as busy and they were told that lots of people had not been turning up which means that, as it was the Pfizer/Biontec one, many will have been wasted.
I wonder why people haven't been turning up?
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Not interesting, just massively concerning. Why on earth would people not turn up for a booster?
Has everyone got totally stupid all of a sudden?
If you get an appointment from a doctor/hospital, you turn up unless you're specifically told it has been cancelled.
Messages may well have been unclear, but I think pure stupidity is trumping it here...
And on the subject of stupidity and trump. WTF's going on in USA: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/elec...-2020-55558355
Craziness.
Let's go the whole hog:

I was a bit shocked when I heard about this around a week ago.
From what I have heard and read the first jab gives a person a partial immunity - say 70% and the 2nd tops it up to 90-95%.
A decision has been made to prioritise getting as many of the top level vulnerable to 70% as quick as possible and I believe other countries are planning similar.
It's on the basis that say having 1,000,000 at 70% is better than having 500,000 at 90% and 500,000 at 0%.
I don't think we have anyone on here qualified to critique it - although Oracle maybe could have advised what his wife thought of the policy had he still been on the forum.
