COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Thank you, Baggins, but I do not think Kaz aimed that post at me.

Think she was responding to someone else.

Even if she had then no offence was taken as she has pointed out she cannot read my posts. Which I completely understand.

Other scores around the UK today:

For andyhinch - Cheshire East 70 - up from 66 Total cases 8842. Pop Score up 18 to 2302.


On Merseyside Liverpool up from 67 to 79.Pop score up 15 to 4802 - smaller rise even than Trafford. Wirral 29 - down from 40. And Knowsley 20 - down from 37. So Merseyside still staying very low. Lower than GM certainly at the moment.

In the Midlands Leicester 138 for second day running but down from 180/200 last week Nottingham up fron 86 to 110 - first over 100 number in 10 days.

In Yorkshire Leeds 212 up from 166 but still lowish as that is a pop rise of only 27. Better than parts of GM today. Bradford rose from 188 to 202.

Birmingham as usual had the most cases today at 369 - though down from 406. And given the size of the city region that was fairly average and the Pop Score only went up by 32.

Thanks, your doing a great job.

Can not lie, i did not mean to put kaz,s post in. I honestly don't know how i did it. I'm clearly not very technical.

Looks like the Swedes are struggling. Hopefully, they will turn the situation around.

To be fair to them, deaths are still incredibly low, even though they have the equivalent of 66,000 UK cases a day.

Me neither - when I was at school computers were just in Sci Fi novels and the height of technology was a slide rule for which you needed a Mensa membership and decent dexterity to even attempt to use. And when you needed to post a message you had to write it, walk to a red box and wait about a year until it got to a neighbouring town via a six month diversion around Cape Horn by steamship.

Deaths are reported differently in Sweden (no idea why) - by day of death rather than day reported.

If you look at any of the trackers you'll see deaths in recent days declining. Look again in a few days time and you'll see those numbers up.

The drop off shown for instance here is not real. You can instead expect, sadly, the deaths to rise, as ours did.

Boris now claiming he will unlock us all in February if his mps agree to pass this continued lockdown 2 through. Lying again.
It’s clear they lied about this lockdown 2 being only for four weeks and was always intended to last until April.
Starter merely has to be seen to be remotely competent and he wins in 4 years

don't know what you expected over winter, it was always going to be shit. I'm virtually spent and we've not even started yet.

I don't think it was a good idea to put Gove up for interview to tell us all that the hospitals are at risk of being overwhelmed. I can't speak for the whole country but I have relatives working in Accident and Emergency in Birmingham and Manchester and I know this is just untrue. Gove is a pathological liar who thinks we are all stupid. I am not one of the anti-lockdown brigade but you would have to be an idiot to believe anything this government says.

I’m not sure in that, it says MP’s get to vote again on it in Feb if the Gov want to extend (they do) and they should tbh.

Starmers circuit breaker idea clearly wouldnt have worked either, it’s not worked in the devolved administrations they are going back in.

Everyones sick of the lockdown now, reckon Starmer should be opposing it tbh or at least pushing for a losening as the jabs ramp up

Sad to hear and this levels of staff sickness are part of the reason why it’s too simplistic for some to say that Manchester should be in a lower tier because hospital admissions are falling a bit. The levels of staff sickness (and isolation) are enormous for some hospitals.

That said, Bojo looks like he might extend the Christmas relaxation to head off a Tory backbench rebellion.

That's the problem in a nutshell, if this pandemic is a national emergency then it needed to be tackled with swift decisive action, not pandering to backbench MPs or voters. If Johnson keeps changing his mind we'll be in this mess for all of 2021 as well.

Hard to disagree with this.

I agree mate but our Country voted in journalists to run the nation so it’s no surprise that they bend to be popular with colleagues and their voters.

Was always gonna be till April, why did Rishi extend the furlough scheme to the end of March, Bojo has continuously lied through his teeth, all we ask for is honesty and clarity and were getting bullshit after bullshit.
