a positive mental outlook pls no debbie downer tonite!!

also it isn't going happen after the worst gdp slump in the g7; the gov will do everything to keep businesses moving i do fear the train is already beginning to run away from us and as in the spring the gov will do all within their power to fudge the facts, spin everything to make it look better until it is too late and infection rates are sky high. where is our national mask mandate?! edit: and with scotland taking a more cautious and sensible approach the differences this time will be magnified between england and scotland for all to see how badly the tories are continue to handle this

professor of social psychology at st andrews, stephen reicher nailed this 'blame' issue in this excellent guardian piece: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2...ronavirus-rates

under no part of the law MUST results be announced on the night. they have in the past due to extraordinary effort but they weren't known on the night going back hundreds of years...

https://twitter.com/LawrenceGilder a really useful resource on twitter is this account which publishes in-depth statistics for covid on a break down by local authority, including rate of infection per 100k. the question is though, why isn't the government making such data easily and widely available. why is it taking a 19 year old lad on twitter to do it? if you look at the daily numbers ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1APt...#gid=1865138965 ) you can see you've got rates in liverpool of 83 per 100k, sunderland of 96 per 100k and rates rising throughout the north of england in general. yet there is no enhanced support or restrictions. in fact many living in these areas will have no idea that community transmission is becoming increasingly rife and would probably adjust their behaviour if they were made more aware. currently we are getting a snapshot of people who were infected during the last week or two so and with new cases doubling every 7-8 days we could be looking at 8k new infections being reported daily by this time next week. it's just so frustrating for us to once again be following the likes of france and spain: seeing massive outbreaks amongst the young then spreading to the more elderly and seemingly choosing to do nothing. quite why there still isn't a national mask mandate in all public places is utterly beyond me. the science is now overwhelming on the benefits and suchlike has been implemented in spain, france and many portions of the states (for some time) also matt hancock now saying that you should only get a test if you are symptomatic? in various scientific studies the rate of asymptomatic spread has been estimated to be between 20 and 50%. being asymptomatic may mean you show minimal or no symptoms but it doesn't stop you shedding virus and infecting other people. the fact that you could come into close contact with somebody who tests positive for covid but are then unable to get a test as you show no symptoms and are then encouraged to go about your life as normal is utter madness. missing these asymptomatic carriers means the virus will continue to spread unabated and clearly contrary to what the government is saying, testing capacity isn't good enough so not everyone gets a test, you then can't contact trace and the whole system falls apart. furthermore what is the government doing to encourage people to isolate? financially it isn't feasible for many people. who can live off £13 a day? as happened in the spring, people will continue to go to work even though they are infectious purely out of necessity to financially survive. it shouldn't be this way. the government clearly still has no grip on the situation and instead is more focused on breaking international law, all the while a fire is slowly smouldering around the country. it's clearly going to be a bumpy and rough winter. i worry because this government is so incompetent and hasn't learnt anything. that incompetence will sadly cost many unnecessary lives and damage many other's long term health.

listen thru 2moro evening?
