Mayhem

91% of new Covid cases are the delta variant. Cases rising every week. Double jab only 80% effective against delta variant. The grand re-opening on 21st ain't happening imo, will be pushed back, and I'm not sure LFCC will go ahead either at this rate. We shall see.

Can confirm true, she's posted on her Twitter feed.

As Raylenth says, check the product description. Generally though, the MK address has been for the recent SW send in private signings, the Welsh address is the main address for Showmasters event send in.

I think he means if they decide to cap the capacity of the event lower than the number of tickets sold after the fact. I would be more inclined to think they'd be more cautious and under sell tickets, thus maybe having some on the door.

Ah hah, it was in reference to Saturday already being sold out, the carry overs of course.

All the carry over tickets from last year?

The first part of the first sentence and much of the rest is definitely correct. The evidence right now that having the vaccine doesn't completely prevent you from transmitting Covid if you have it but it does significantly reduce the transmission probability. The immune rate for AZ after two doses is way higher than 60%, new research suggests the 12 week wait serendipitously was the better option, and two doses can be actually in the 80-90% range. Higher than that if you wait 6 months, but who's going to do that?! I just want to point out that my comment originally was in direct response to the Indian variant aspect, and that right now only those people with both doses can consider themselves relatively protected against that variant as you surmise in your final sentence. Anyone with none or just one jab should still be very cautious. This is why I was mentioning it in regards to the timing of LFCC (in 7 weeks now) and what state the vaccine rollout will be by that point given the increasing number of cases via the Indian variant. Let alone this new Vietnam one. There still be a proportion of potential attendees, especially those under 30, without both jabs. I won't be getting my second jab for example until a few days before the show and I'm in the higher end of the 40s age bracket.

Really only if you’ve had both doses. And not even half the adult population has had both doses so far.

Thanks. Sadly I’ve known quite a few people who have contracted Covid, including my mate Jason, who’s had it so long and still recovering he made the papers... https://news.sky.com/story/uks-longest-known-covid-patient-suffering-fainting-attacks-after-more-than-13-months-in-icu-12302521

If you register the result online using the serial number of the test, yes, you would have to register it under your daughter's name. It won't show up via the NHS Covid app on your phone because that's personal to you and you alone. So you'd have to search the test result out on the NHS Covid website or similar. We had to do a Covid test for our two year old daughter about 8 months ago because her nursery closed for a week due to a Covid scare, and wouldn't let kids back when it reopened unless they showed a proven negative result.

My second Covid jab is two days before the event so... whether I feel up to it let alone the risk shall be interesting...

As you say indeed, re greenhouse. Which is one reason I can't see this year's event happening unless the venue is changed for example. I await to be proven wrong...

Probably have to show you've registered a negative test on the NHS Covid app for example as part of your entrance process.

I know mentioning other events here is usually frowned upon, but that big one in California that happens each July has today been postponed to next year as well. So if that’s not happening until 2022 at the earliest... I don’t think LFCC is going to happen either this year. But we shall see...

We're almost certainly locked down until end of April earliest me thinks... probably later. Kiss those summer cons goodbye.

Just to note the announcement about LFCC next month scraps this event too.

Given the massive posts on certain FB groups, no you are not McKee

About as surprising as the sun coming up sadly...

That's what all the weekly sales on FB have been for, keep revenue coming in, although the photoshoots at cons gain way more money than autographs, so they will be hurting a little.

There’s a whole bunch of Star Wars private signings scheduled for next month.

With the new restriction on meeting, it went from "maybe" to almost certainly "no" imo...

So presumably end of September to hear more...

Itoya, Itoya, Itoya...!

Awww so young and innocent heh https://youtu.be/EjQ5Yw72xtA
