dirty dingus Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 1 hour ago, Dunning1874 said: While I highly doubt any festivals will be happening this summer anyway - even in the unlikely event that the governments allow live music to be back in the form of normal gigs with no distancing by June, I don't think they're going to allow tens of thousands of mostly younger people to pile into fields and camp for days in generally unhygienic conditions before they've had two doses - Glastonbury don't really have a choice with the sheer size of their site. While they all may have other reasons for cancelling much further in advance, in terms of site infrastructure alone a big festival like Reading & Leeds could probably make the decision whether to go ahead or not a month in advance, and something much smaller in capacity or non-camping like TRNSMT could be even shorter notice because they don't need to start building the site up until so close to the start of the festival. Obviously they'd all make the decision much earlier than that anyway because of the impact on ticket sales, contracts with suppliers etc, but Glastonbury takes so long to build the site that even if they wanted to they don't have the option to wait until May to see what the state of restrictions is before deciding. Mind this absolute shit show last year, pitching a tent on the scaffolding is the new normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieman Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 19 minutes ago, Michael W said: 33 identified cases in nearly 3 months. Isn't this also basically the same as the "Bristol variant" that Hancock was talking about last week? Anything to keep driving fear. There's no evidence that it is any more harmful. It's reckless reporting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parents purposely twisting their jobs to be defined as "key worker" to get the weans out the house so they don't have noise in the background of conference calls. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
