Could be due to human behaviour. We behave in a way that causes quick spread then change our behaviour which reduces the spread. The wave is generated by that change rather than the virus. Early on in the first lockdown wasn't there some Israeli guy predicting 6/8 week waves regardless of behaviour change though?i cant get my head around why pandemics happen in waves? and why is this one predited to last 6/8 weeks? i have read that quite a few times now?
Personally I have forgotten about daily, weekly and monthly scores as there’s nothing at all I can do to change it.Anyone looking at a single day's numbers is fooling themselves, 7 day average is the best figure on all of it, as it always includes both weekend days, but it always runs 4 days behind "today".

What week we on?
I totally agree, I still watch the numbers, but as you say the only thing we can do is look after number 1, and that's how we are dealing with it. It's hard to advise our younger family though, some want to just get on with it, and I can't blame them, others want to arrange "christmas" which I generally don't care much about other than meeting close family, but we can't plan for that right now, other than staying at home doing f**k all, with anyone.Personally I have forgotten about daily, weekly and monthly scores as there’s nothing at all I can do to change it.
I worry about those I love and those I know. Hopefully everyone ensures they are as safe as can be and then ‘what will be will be’.
Life can be great, but it’s how we deal with shit that is important.
As always you have a sensible view point, but we all see things differently.I totally agree, I still watch the numbers, but as you say the only thing we can do is look after number 1, and that's how we are dealing with it.

I've got a cousin who's got a really serious health issue (chemo cancelled several times), his sister has had it, and been pretty ill (in the middle of moving house too), elderly parents who are doing their best to avoid it.
We had a day out locally today (NT property), walked about 5 miles, weather ok, but pretty grey, but it was good to be "out", and not thinking about the pandemic, plenty of visitors where we went, but everyone looking out for themselves, and the roads pretty quiet apart from school times.
Trying to keep to having some life, but being very careful out and about.

I’ve read your posts about the NT and seeing the sights near you which is brilliant. We go out locally and fortunately we live in the countryside.
Today is my birthday.
It’s against the law to see my children and grandchildren to celebrate which, IMO, is criminal.
I’ve not been out at all today as I only want to see my family and the rest can go swing.
We will meet up at Christmas, but we are all making plans to isolate from the world for at least a week before to ensure our safety. And for those on here who think we should all be alone, because the government can dictate it, can go and fuck off.
My resilience comes from seeing my kids grow and develop.
Thank you, and I always try to.happy birthday. Look forward to time
With your family.
CheersHappy birthday @squirtyflower

Happy birthday, hope you've had a few glasses of wine together.As always you have a sensible view point, but we all see things differently.
Happy birthday mate, mine was last Saturday, I live with my son so that was easy enough, my mum wanted me to visit so I did, like you take as many precautions as possible, and then saw my girlfriend. That’s it, if some don’t like that, tough. I’m abiding by everything they say I must do except see one other extra person. If I worked with them no one would bat an eyelid.As always you have a sensible view point, but we all see things differently.

If you see 1 other person several times a day, I don't think it breaks any rules, so nobody should bat an eyelid.Happy birthday mate, mine was last Saturday, I live with my son so that was easy enough, my mum wanted me to visit so I did, like you take as many precautions as possible, and then saw my girlfriend.

Yep, and no issue with that, I don't think we differ much, I'm far from mine, but we've seen them when we were allowed, and now its really to far from both unfortunately.
We're in the countryside really (might live in a small town, but it's minutes to drive) and we have embraced it this year, and been places we'd never have gone, it's amazing what is close to you, that you never see.
I'm not planning christmas, because I don't want to be disappointed, but we do kind of have a plan depending what regulations are at the time.
We are on holiday this week, and hoped to go somewhere, but obviously couldn't, but we had a day out today, and are meeting my missus best friend on Friday (outdoors), she's not seen her for 3 or 4 months, and again all thanks to the NT membership, and keeping their gardens and estates open.
I rarely hug her in our out doors these days ;-)It’s been proven that the risk outdoors is incredibly low, one of the reasons I packed in work. You and the Mrs should be fine in the open meeting with friends, as long as there’s no hugging!
