So tier 2 here in Bristol, from looking at the websites of some of the local pubs i'd say only about 30% are opening on saturday.

I know that, hence getting on a train to get drunk in Herefordshire in the lowest tier where you can.

You cant compare bristol to manchester

I was talking about Trafford.

anyway it’s my birthday so just back from a taxi to wilmslow for a lovely birthday meal with my wife and son.

would love to have walked into alty and it would have been safer but we had to travel by taxi to an area with higher rates to celebrate my birthday .

but hey we did.

Worse, it's not "this" government, it's the whole system of government/parliament, it was fit for purpose in the 1860's not even the 1960's, and it certainly isn't fit to run a crisis like this, whatever party was in charge.

Everything in this crisis has been reactive, not proactive, and they should have passed emergency laws at the start to prevent them having to vote for every damned decision.

Couldn't agree more. Our government structure is unfit for the 21st Century digital age. A Baroness from the House of Lords was put in charge of track and trace. Totally absurd. The press briefings have been like a scene from Blackadder with General Melchett at the helm. It would be funny if it wasn't so bloody tragic. People have died because of this disgraceful failure. The NHS staff are lions led by donkeys.

bluematt23 - knows more than Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance and our government.

Not really those clowns have one agenda stop Covid deaths So that’s what they are doing.thats all they care about and are responsible for

if I was put in charge of stopping road deaths I would ban cars and ban using roads for everyone.

see it’s easy this. road deaths drop to zero.

I would like to think im quite an optimistic person by nature, but for some reason i dont think i have ever felt as downbeat as i do now about this virus. Should be happy but our whole house is down in the dumps and weve been very fortunate financially compared to some. Sad times.

It’s a tough time. I find getting out for a good walk works wonders.

Its nearly finished me off in October
The mental health impact on me has been horrific. Others I know have suffered badly.
Sadly I dont see next year being that different, certainly up until the summer.
Theres nothing to do and nowhere to go.

There is if you want to, you need to use your imagination a bit, you got through October, Christmas whilst not going to be great is still a good time of year.

Create yourself a project, and keep off social media, and probably everything covid related, you'll get through it if you keep looking for the positive, and then the summer will be good hopefully.

It’s not that far away and winters are often shit. Spring and better times aren’t far away.

set some walking or jogging goals you will feel better.

GM Scoreboard:

679 cases - down from 794. 36% of NW total 1848.

3 wks v 2 wks v last wk v TODAY:- 853 v 652 v 652 v 679 TODAY. As flat as a plateau.



Pop Score is cases across whole pandemic v 100,000 people - rises daily but lower the better.

ridiculous

 

[BlueAnorak]

More ridiculous is having Herefordshire in tier 1 (moved down), where you can do pretty much what you want, and either side of it the WM and S Wales in tier 3, an hour away by train, so you'll have train loads of people going there to get drunk over the next week.

Have you tried getting to Herefird on a train? It takes ages from Brum.
55 cases per 100k says low.
Not sure why Dorset isn't in tier 1 either with 45 cases per 100k either.
It's all a complete joke.

Thankfully no.
