NB Please don’t take this too seriously- it depends what vaccine delivery speed and uptake you estimate so it’s not written in stone.

In Hospital

-987

In ICU/Ventilation

-67

Vaccinated with First Dose

Just for a bit of fun - look at this totally photoshopped photo making Tom Cruise look like the smallest man on earth - rather funny.

Quickly jumping on board before I lose you all again. I don’t have any positive news, but this thread keeps me going.

Sun was shining today, so I did a bit of gardening. Lots of my little tête-à-tête poking through the soil.

My Nan is currently still in hospital recovering from Covid so will contribute to that figure HOWEVER my good news is that she's actually doing pretty damn well for 86 and is only still in there due to needing to regain strength and mobility now so the point I'm trying to get at is even if there are people in hospital with Covid it doesn't mean they are all terribly ill still Smile

Thanks @BBCONEANDTWO

Good news so your gran @TJ17

I'm still checking out @sailorrooscout and Twitter coronavirus good news.

We all sat and watched Dr John Campbell last night!

Masked Singer on catch up (after Dh gets home from dialysis) for the family tonight.

Hmmm

TheCuriousMonkey · 06/02/2021 19:39

Love the good news. My personal good news is that all my parents/step parents/parents in law bar one have now had their first dose, as have my two front line health and care worker siblings. Plus my area is green on the government map for the first time in ages.

And I am chuffed to bits with the NHS and the amazing vaccine delivery. I felt quite emotional seeing queues outside our local testing venue the other day.

BertieBassettsBabe · 06/02/2021 19:47

Jumping on board again.

Pleased to hear your dh has had the jab Fuzzy. 🙂

Jumping on for the ride Smile

Hello everyone!

Wherediditgo · 06/02/2021 20:33

Kind of good news - just read a couple of pages of a thread on here about when inside mixing might be allowed again... and they were all actually quite hopeful and sensible answers bar one. I think the mood may shifting elsewhere on the board?!

HalfDutchGirl · 06/02/2021 20:34

That last thread filled up super quickly with all the good news! Heres hoping for loads more! @BBCONEANDTWO Great to see those dropping numbers.

Do you mean that people now think we might be able to mix before 2025? Gosh that’s optimistic 😮

Iamclearlyamug · 06/02/2021 21:04

Wowww it seems like yesterday I was unashamedly marking my place on thread 8 and here we are at #9 🥰🥰❤️ Here’s to more good news ahead
