Excellent news and I wonder what the Banking syndicate will now be thinking.

Now you have a share that is looking exceedingly cheap that should now be able to get itself very quickly back onto a firm footing. Extended Business rates relief will be coming off the Chancellor as as well.

Just note that last word.

Didn't expect much but got what I was after - a date for reopening.

For Non-essential shops reopening.

Cautiously but IRREVERSABLY

That will do very nicely.

Got to be near or close to the bottom here now imho

Great result 17th May for cinemas.
12th April for Non-essential retails also.

If it gets to £1.50 then I double my money.

However I am expecting a lot more if the results come out positive as they get publicity, FOMO sets in and in any case there is a ready and expanding global market place out there for the product.

Travel stocks have been rallying in the last week and the likes of TUI and Easyjet have rallied 8% to 15% and they are last in the queue and will be lucky if they get half a summer.

Retails shops first to open and it looks like April. HMSO by comparison a 10% retrace.

Control the virus, Cure it, Reopen Shop Doors.
Vaccination programme on track and going good guns and impacting highly on mortality.
Next reopen being permanent.

ianharding in case you haven't worked it out yet some shorts are actually opened so that the shorter gets to achieve an entry price that they want and normally lower.

Upon which the buy far more than the totality of their shorts. The threshold for disclosure of short poistions is only 0.5% whereas for holdings it is 3% so you only need two, three or more affiliated or associated companies with a holding of 2.99% each to hide underneath the radar.

Just for good measure register one in the UK or the US and make sure all the rest are registered in the Cayman Islands or other tax havens big on anonimity. In fact why bother registering any in the UK at all.

Inetersting take off the Mail

Not buying into any leaks after having had a complete bellyful of Ministers with the left not knowing what the right is doing. Will wait for the PM himself to annouvce. That is the most sensible course. Not expecting to be anywhere near the front of the queue for reopening but a suggested earliest date for reopening would be a bonus,

We'll be following in our own time.

Control the virus, Cure the Virus, Reopen Doors
Next time permanently

Brilliant Figures Again and just as they discuss the Roadmap

Infection rate back under 10,000 at 9834 (shows imho a couple of days last week was a blip)

Hospitalisations on the marginal increase again. (Possibly the tail end of that blip)

Vaccinations nearing 17.6M (so with a push they could be close to 18Million by the teatime Govt Briefing).

Deaths at only 215 - the lowest I can remember from the peak of this 3rd wave (1820)

muckled, I don't know if you are aware but they already have Virobloc protection in gloves. The Queen's glove maker no less, Craghoppers also and others.

But yes coating the white gloves for the white glove delivery service for Serta Simmons would be another natural addition.

If it leads us to a guarantee of permanent reopening and lifting of restrictions then it gets my vote.

Control the virus, cure the virus, reopen doors.
Permanently.

Good numbers folks and just at the right time if the PM is sitting down this weekend to decide on his Roadmap.

Vaccinations well up again
Infection Rates back down by a couple of thousand
Hospitalisations up

Deaths - At only 445
The R-rate falling to 0.6 to 0.9 yesterday is good news also/

Extended Business Rates Holiday come Budget Day by the looks of it.

Morning LTHCine I actually think it is the other way about where we have actually been over classifying deaths as Covid deaths when they are not. If you can remember a while back Chris Witty and Patrick Valance between them talked of the term "Excess deaths" as a more reflective figure for it represented those deaths over and above what would be normal deaths for that particular time of year. Pardon the pun but it is those more realistic figures that appear to have been buried. I am surprised the press have not been all over this. The story in the Mail may prompt some to dig a bit further. I always found it strange that our supposed Covid deaths were higher than our European counterparts by a mile. It might also provide a partial answer for why there are so many Covid19 deaths in hospital

What is equally as concerning is the number of persons who are dying from cancer and other critical illnesses whilst the NHS stops their treatments to deal with priority number 1, Coronavirus, young and old.

I only mention it for if mortality rates are one of the 4 main determinants in unlocking things then lets keep them real and true.

I raised this only last week when I asked the question if all our so labelled Covid deaths are actually such and after I had heard that of your death certificate says Covd19 then you do not require to have a post mortem. Interesting story in the Mail tonight which begs the question are we actually over-reporting such deaths.

Slightly later than billed but down to a DIY project which I've been progressing the last few days and and now nearly finished.

Summary

Infections dropping again compared to yesterday
Hospitalisations up (I think this could be the follow through from a little lift in infections earlier in the week)

Deaths 533 - Great and at the lowest end of that 500 to 800 range I think is important. Making a couple of good days on the mortality front.

Vaccinations nearing 17 Mill and we should be clear of 17.5M come Monday

Re Roadmap time no time scheduled although there is a Covid O (Operations meeting) in the morning. I'll go for an announcement with the Govt Covid Briefing at 5p.m.

Not personally expecting anything spectacular but anticipated earliest dates for Retail, Hospitality including pubs, cinemas and theatres and Sports like footie crowds and horse racing events.

These Serta Simmons mattresses were being targeted at the hospitality sector but I saw the other night that they are also for sale to the general public on the QVC channel in the US. I've posted it just to enhance peoples understanding of the range of product applications that the company has fpr Virobloc from face-masks, to laundried products, to apparel and gloves and facemasks. The cruise industry and planes would be obvious further extensions.
