It's good to hear that members of CT are receiving their vaccinations, good luck to all those yet to have theirs. It seems like a long haul till we get everyone sorted and hear the results of the present vaccines.

I'm leaving this open for non political comments as per the guidelines. Hope you can add your own experiences and thoughts.

My first jab comes up tomorrow, I'm so glad we have research institutions that have got us this far! And I am planning breaks away in the hope of improvements on the horizon.

Adding another four weeks will not affect me in any way, but I do realise that it was necessary and prudent and good for people who have not been vaccination yet and of course those coming up to their second dose.

So how many 4 week extensions are you prepared to put up with.

JV, do you have any concept of how on a knife edge the Cornish economy is in a normal year, let alone during a pandemic, with service and hospitality provision way down? A huge percentage of the working population down there exist on either a six month year, or have at least two, sometimes three or four different jobs they juggle merely to exist?

I am still at a loss as to what the whole G7 circus achieved to be honest, beyond a huge income boost to a tiny select number, and a vast amount of inconvenience to many more.🤷‍♀️ PM had a nice swim, Americans might just be a bit more aware of that strange boot shaped bit of land on toe end of England, but to be honest Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson probably achieved more in way of publicity. I would hazard a guess St Ives was chosen because it’s relatively easy to stick behind a huge fence, and Boris didn’t dare tackle Sturgeon about using anywhere they usually go in Scotland, like Gleneagles.🤷‍♀️

Tell that to those who complain about the influx of those who spend money in the county, there are many other areas of concern as to the future

A report I read from Cornwall yesterday said they will not know for at least two weeks if there was any covid effect from the G7circus

They seemed more worried about property prices with more people expected to want to move there

Actually, they were given no notice of arrangements, naturally.

However, that is OT.

Were they that nieve to not have expected big disruption when something as big as the G7conference was coming

If that is what is best for saving lives as deemed by scientists and governments yes.

If it can be between the five days we are home at the end of this month it would not be a problem as long as some one can be around to make sure OH is safe at the house
