What a coincidence that the North is punished by Southern English politicians while the South of England sits pretty.

This will definitely go down well...

It's because the number of cases are higher. Nothing to do with politicians punishing the North.

I’m dreading what’ll happen in Wales.

 

Can hardly fathom the English stuff out right now. I’m still wondering if they’ll announce a circuit breaker before the end of the week.

Don't think anyone is sitting pretty right now. Reckon London will be put in tier 2 which is frustrating as a) I've just gone back to office and b) I'm planning to move flats soon.

I think a postcode checker would be best as it's hard to follow the map especially if you're on the border of two colours. Liverpool and NW seems worst. We're medium in East London so no change really.

 

 

EDIT. Sorry the tiers will be discussed tomorrow and announced Wed. I was looking at the map of cases.

I still think they'll close schools next week as well as the following week. Private schools often have two weeks anyway.

Agreed, the additional restrictions will do barely anything.

 

I agree too, the people who don't care about Covid will still meet up and have house parties in fact probably more if the official meetup places like pubs are closed.

They are following the hospital admissions and R Rate so nothing to do with this

It doesn't matter what happens when you get idiots like this - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-54511643

 

I am sure a bit of public shaming would soon stop this and others who might be tempted when Twitter and the rest of the country erupts on them via social media.

Public shaming, er thanks but no, we had that in April when the Police were chasing an old couple with a drone on the Peak District with the caption 'Is this essential?'. I think I'd rather not go down that route!

So how do we contain the problem of many people blatantly flauting the rules? Throwing a 100 person party when you're self isolating with symptoms is criminal. I was half joking by the way.. but I do think it would act somewhat as a deterrent.

 

Quite simpley I feel some element of sympathy for students but they're a massive problem if you live in a University town/city.

Maybe don't let an MP and a government advisor who broke the rules get away with remaining in public office...

Well I'd quite happily get rid of both. I still find it laughable both did not resign and justified their actions!

^Agreed. Yeah I don't know how to make people follow the rules beyond the threat of fines etc. but you've got to lead from the top in situations like this.

 

Anyway, here is a Lockdown tier map:

 

Ridiculous those kids and rightly got fined.

 

So there’s more people in hospital with C19 today than there was on the first day of lockdown in March.

Must be awful to live in the tier 3 regions! :(

Apprently SAGE recommended restrictions 3 weeks ago:

 

The government’s scientific advisers recommended a two-week ‘circuit break’ lockdown three weeks ago in a bid to curtail the spread of Covid -19, official documents show.

 

Sage told ministers a swathe of interventions would be required to reverse the exponential rise in cases.

 

The minutes from the 21 September meeting of the group were quietly published just hours after Boris Johnson announced new restrictions, including a a new three tier system for local lockdowns, that appeared to fall short of what Sage suggested.

 

Even Mr Johnson’s own chief medical officer warned the new measures to be introduced in the most severe cases will not work on their own.

 

Just hours after they were unveiled by the prime minister, Professor Chris Whitty said he was “not confident” they would be enough to stop the disease spreading.

Reading this sort of stuff just makes my piss boil. There is no logic to any of these restrictions if people who have a positive result or are waiting on results do not self isolate. It seems reckless to burn our economy down if it's not going to have any effect.
