It's quoting the reports the data is coming from so must be some truth. On the flip side you have The Suns headline that Greater Manchester hospitals are out of beds. When you read the article it confirms that they are at around 80% which is what you would expect in October. Just shows how the media manipulates the way people think and see things.

Heh, Nope not when the DM are quoting things. I've seen them quote entirely unrelated people and post comments as facts before now. as well as quoting 2nd / 3rd hand interpretations of things. I think the best one was getting a "medical" person to quote on the medical impact of some environmental issue and that had been reported ( a proper scientific paper ). there "expert" made some totally inaccurate quotes from the data. turns out the "expert" was a crystal healer guru type that had no scientific or medical background to be used as an expert.


then there's the direct misrepresentations. Mostly around global warming and blatantly lying about what the met office says and saying met office refused to comment but never even asked for a comment... trying to find a link but this one was quite a while ago and seems to have been lost. there seems to be quite a war between the 2.

GM hospitals are within a couple of days of accute beds being full - yet he still plays politics. (This information is from a Registrar friend of my daughters who works at Manchester Royal not the press.)
I dispair, I really do.
 
Can someone help me on this. Am I right in saying Burnham has supported a national lockdown, then a regional one where it is needed and now a regional one only if money is given out? How much worse does the situation have to get in GM before he accepts that lockdown is required. The longer the delay the harder it is to suppress the virus and the longer it will be before we can move back to tier 2. How can we, as a region, negotiate whether or not we have further restrictions if more people are dying. Surely it's not about negotiation it's about people's health.

Doesnt make a good story though does it. Everyone is aware its serious but news stories that are clearly written to try and scare people by playing on stats which are not unusual only makes people more suspicious. No wonder everyone is divided on this.

When have the media ever let facts get in the way of a good story?
 
The quarantine thing is just astonishing. People have ZERO responsibility for their follow Brits.
- Only 18% of people fully quarantine.
- 30% don't bother at all
- The rest break it once or twice to get important stuff.

We really are fucked. As a nation we are packed with self centered twats who in reality couldn't give a shit about anyone else.

It would be interesting to consider how likely you are to kill or seriously injure someone when driving whilst marginally over the drink-drive limit. Vs how likely you are to do the same whilst wandering around in public whilst infected with coronavirus.

They throw the book at you for the first offence, and yet barely seem to give a toss for the latter one.

And surely this is where money should be spent. Making sure those people stay at home.

Just for info that list is not current, even when the MEN published it recently it was not current. It's more a list for all schools that have secured closures due to covid-19 since the kids went back. Some of those closures happened over a month ago and have now reopened.

I think that horse has bolted. When we’re in restrictions which ban you from entering someone’s house, and have been for months, keeping someone inside with a potentially lethal infection for 2 weeks is small fry.

I totally agree I was referring to those who are opposed to giving track and trace data to the police
 
I see Burnham is now demanding £14m for a shielding programme.
They don't work, and won't work no matter how much you spend on them. The virus will always get in. Care workers, delivery drivers etc etc. The more virus in the community the bigger the chance it has of getting in to infect the vulnerable.
You stand a chance of isolating the infected but not of isolating the vulnerable.
