So sale where I live has a lower infection rate than Bristol which has been downgraded?
What are the government and Hancock doing? They are fucking idiots.
Now talk of a january lockdown yet we were told weeks ago we should be ok by the spring.
This is a farce.

It’s about the commuter area more than it is boundaries. While Trafford has lower numbers, it’s in the commuter area with very high numbers and it wouldn’t take much to sweep across Trafford if the infections from Manchester were transmitted.

Trafford’s infection rate has gone up 37% this week.

Plus a January lockdown would make a lot of sense. January is midWinter, Spring doesn’t start until March. We’ve barely got going with the vaccine yet, and I reckon it’ll be the warmer months of May and June before things even start to go back to normal.

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.

Got to keep your chin up fella.

I live on my own and I’m isolating. Not seen another human being for 8 days. At least you’ve got your family around you.

Take the positives out of every situation.
 
Slept on it and woke up still thoroughly depressed, where the fuck is the end in all this shite? I know the vaccine gives us light at the end of the tunnel but how long is this tunnel?

Everything is crap, im missing the human interaction of daily life and im lucky to live with my wife and 3 kids, I have no idea how people that live alone are coping.

Tier 2 would have given a timely boost to everyone in the area yet as it is it feels like no matter how well behaved us Northerners are were stuck on the naughty list because we had the temerity to question the circus 'in charge'
 
Really do think this talk of a massive post Christmas spike is over exaggerated

Kids are going to be off school, most people are off work, they were in for the full duration of the lockdown last time.

Hospitality is shut for most of the country.

There's probably going be be a million of the most vulnerable fully vaccinated half way through Jan

I didn't have a temperature or completely lose my taste but lost my appetite completely and hardly ate anything for 3 weeks, the odd thing was a drink of Coca Cola tasted liked cigarette ash (I don't smoke). Other symptoms were crashing headache, brain fog, lethargy, cough and a general feeling of being floored. It was about 8 weeks ago now, after the symptoms had gone I was left feeling knackered at the end of the day but thankfully that's getting better now. Had an antibody test which confirmed I'd had Covid.

I'm in Tameside which yesterday had the lowest rate in GM but I think leaving us in T3 is for the best, I'd say the whole country should be treated the same, it's absurd Dipperville is left in T2, they are going to get a huge spike in January, it's inevitable.

Yeah I live in Trafford and I’m glad we’ve been left in Tier 3, it’s not the time to move down yet. Case numbers are lower but the NHS are struggling and Trafford’s citizens contribute to that. We are one conurbation, after all.

I posted this in the Return of Supporters thread:
www.google.co.uk

Greater Manchester hospitals are 'struggling to keep head above water'

It comes as an investigation by the Times' Insight team revealed that at least one intensive care ward in Manchester reached full capacity by the last week of October, due to the number of Covid patients
www.google.co.uk www.google.co.uk

...and I’m glad there’s a staggered start to secondary schools in January (they could have let schools know about that before the penultimate day of term though, idiots!)

We are much closer to the end than we are to the beginning of this pandemic - one final push and I suspect the trajectory on the well being chart will be incrementally increasing slowly throughout January and pushing steeper by mid March as we will all know someone that will have been vaccinated by then - City getting their shit together would also be an added boost to morale ;-)

Not coping isn’t an option mate. You have to have the mentality to drive through it and cope. There’s nobody else to bounce off, to rely on, so you just have to have a staunch determination.

I’ve got a tattoo on my back that means ‘Indomitable Spirit’. We should never let anything get the better of us!

Sadly, I think you will be wrong. Too many want to party, especially at New Year. The fact a vaccine is now avail will fuel that problem

Yep! City have made it worse! Depressing enough without watching West Brom take a point off us!

Well, from what we have seen so far with illegal parties and raves etc, I can imagine there being bigger events over the festive period and too many not wanting to stop after the 27th.

Hope I am wrong, but have no faith in the fuckwits to even consider tempering their idiocy
