The website will let me reschedule and looks like I could bring it forward from that. If I did that would they let me have it early or tell me to bolt? Your post prompted me to think that perhaps my second appointment had got lost in the post so I looked at the walk in options. Went to Dewars this morning expecting it to be difficult as a walk in and in truth it was easier than the first time. I just quoted the date of the first appointment at the door and within minutes I was at a station , details pulled up and for some reason no appointment was showing at all despite being well past 8 weeks which the woman said was now the standard. She said this is happening to a few people and why they now push the walk in. Job done so now all Pfizer'd up. No ill effects in round 1 so hopeful of the same today and tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from travelling to and from the stadium it doesn't matter much how many seats are in an all seater stadium, it's just the people around you who can infect you, or you them. Haven't seen many empty seats in the Centre Court. Edited July 1, 2021 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 The other fan who travelled with me to Wembley tested positive late last week , thinking this could happen we decided to do everything we could to be as safe as possible (knowing you can get it in Tesco never mind a crowd) Stayed in Watford and only came into London on the afternoon of the game, going to a pub for the 2pm and then early at Wembley However the area where a lot of infection could have been spread was after the game To get back on the tube the Scotland fans and many others walked down Wembley Way. However the police then stopped everyone and the crowd built up, full width of the way with more people coming behind, no distancing at all and everyone crammed together . It looked like there was a concern over too many people in the station at once and it was then easier to keep everyone outside . We will never know but those 20 minutes were like being back in time in a big crowd , lots of singing etc. I wonder if this is common practice at all games at Wembley? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 The increase in hospital figures in Ninewells is mostly down to folk who're in for other issues catching it because they're in the same bay as someone who's infected. Our covid admissions haven't doubled overnight as you'd initially suspect. Fingers crossed they're all okay, some are definitely in the vulnerable category and family members will be naturally worried. Same happened at forth valley couple weeks ago according to the local paper, people in hospital for other issues caught it from other patients or staff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Poor phrasing. A half-full Centre Court at Wimbledon will appear fuller because it’s quite small and compact. It started at 50% capacity but is gradually being ramped up to 100% for next weekend. Also it's 50% complex capacity not necessarily individual courts.Absolute NAP that Wembley will be upped to capacity if England beat Ukraine. Amazing how it's "safe" when it suits ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 The amount of people turning up and being turned away from the vaccine centre in Dundee despite either having symptoms or having been in contact with people who have tested positive suggests to me that most people are just carrying on as normal. Not that surprising that the cases are on the rise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is quite simply a complete and utter lie, how do people continually get away with outright lies on a national forum like this? Because the journalism on the Beeb is weak as f**k. There must be folk on here in her constituency if you are get her called out. Is she not the shadow health spokesperson? She ought to know better but obviously not and yet it's a surprise to people like her that Labour do so badly in the polls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto Flamingoland and Scarborough. 6 hours ago, scottsdad said: They test negative and do no more. But if they test positive, then they go for a PCR test. In other words, a lot of potentially negative testers are being weeded out, making the % figure here higher than it would have been if everyone who did a test, did a PCR one. So do the stats show as 2 positive tests when only 1 person is actually positive then? 1 hour ago, stumigoo said: Caught a bit of Roger Federer getting interviewed on Centre Court. Place completely packed, not a mask in sight (apart from the employees). Find myself a mix of delighted to see a full house for an event but also fucking raging that I’ve had to be entered into a ballot (unsuccessfully) for one of just 500 tickets to United’s first League Cup game (and one that in a ‘normal’ year would still be left with tonnes of space given we would have 3000 maximum). As someone said earlier in this thread - either there is a problem with large outdoor events, or there isn’t. We either need to avoid these things completely or we just need to crack on and get everyone back to the football and other larger scale events. Of course, It’s blatantly obvious that Wimbledon is as full as it is due to it being driven by social class and political pressure by the wealthy. 1 hour ago, The Master said: Wimbledon is only at 50% like Wembley to be fair. It just looks busier because it’s smaller. It was mentioned on the tellybox at Wimbers earlier that the Centre Court capacity had been restricted to 50%, but all the people from the back had moved forward to sit nearer courtside. May as well just have issued 100% tickets then, if the crowd is going to (be allowed to) sit all together anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
