28, 507 cases - higher than hoped. With no Wales add ons.

From 364, 303 tests

7.8 % positive. Still very high.

England alone was 7,7% positive.

Nice to see that Canada - who have ordered enough vaccines to cover their population 5 times - says it will make surplus available to others.

Hope we agree to do the same as protecting the third world who cannot afford to pay big money and will need help to administer is as important as saving ourselves.

Rich countries should be agreeing a joint strategy now to help vaccinate the world.

Either way we should be making this kind of pledge ourselves.

What exactly we're doing doesn't seem very clear yet.

FactCheck: will the “poorest and neediest” get the coronavirus vaccine in time?

The government has signed up to an international agreement designed to make sure all countries get equal access to coronavirus vaccines at the same time. But it has also said it wants British people to get the new Oxford vaccine first.

Huge numbers down south. NW down and below West Midlands again - though all outside south down today.

The entire increase in England today from south of Birmingham basically

I was in Sainsbury’s today and say 2 people who looked over 50 that weren’t either.

I am finding harder and harder not to say anything. There cant be so many people who are excused from wearing them. Honestly from what I have seen it's getting on for 60% that dont wear them and there is talk of kent going to tier 4.
I am sick to the back teeth of so many people ignoring the guidelines whilst the infection rate is going through the roof.
I even do my weekly shop at 9pm on Mondays to avoid people.
Why are so many millions of people in this country so selfish, I can feel me going to have a real rant at someone soon. I am so fed up with it now.

Rant over ;)

Wife and son's results have come back positive today. We are devastated, going into Christmas week and all the teachers and classmates who also now have to isolate for the next ten days.

Myself and our little girl have tested negative, which seems weird, living all the same house and I've still been sleeping in same bed since awaiting tests results for us all.

I'm damned if I'm going to socially-distance from my wife and kids during self-isolation. Part of me wants to get it, just so I don't get it in a few weeks time and we all have to perform this dance again.

Fucking Sod's Law my teacher wife goes all year avoiding it and she gets a positive on the final day of term.

My son had no symptoms apart from fatigue and an hour of a high temp. The wife just thought she had a head cold.

Fuck off 2020, you've had your fun.

You look after everyone mate just keep safe distance from anyone outside 9f your bubble especially older vulnerable people

We have no clue how dad caught the virus he never went out of the house so it shows how easy it is transfered as easy as letters coming through your door, shopping can be another

More than likely school will be the culprit mate

Stick together & you will come out of it stronger

It’s about 80-20% in favour of people wearing them near me so not that bad at all, I really don’t know why people fail to do it, other than medical reasons which must be a small fraction.

There's no excuse for not having protection, IF a mask isn't possible people should wear a visor instead. They're not as effective apparently but every bit helps and will stop someone getting a punch sooner or later.

Up in Oldham people are much better at mask wearing now but there's still too many flouting the rules either that or 15% of OMBC now have breathing problems. It was around 50% in summer.
 
Regional scoreboard:

London 7378 - way up from 5762 to its highest ever number. Nearly double last week and triple 2 weeks ago. Four weeks ago it was 1800.

East 4157 - up from 3879 to its highest ever.

South East 5015 - up from 4384 and again highest ever.

Total for the three also a record of 16, 550 - out of the 28, 507 cases in the UK in these 3 home counties.

Compared with under 5000 for NE, NW, Yorkshire and Midlands in total.

The speed with which this pandemic has moved 200 miles south is frightening.
 
Regional Scoreboard (the North)

Midlands 1728 - down from 1752

North East 512 - down from 590.

Yorkshire & Humber 1030 - down from 1120



And NORTH WEST 1530 - down from 1848.

Down here (SW) it is the opposite. Doors are manned and entry not allowed if your not wearing a mask

People just have to have a lazy quiet Xmas. It is that simple. Not seeing my dad or in laws we have decided. Can wait until spring.

We finally decided the same, daughter wanted to drive 160 miles to see us for an hour, but has wisely decided to stay local, as both our areas swapped tiers, hers from 3 to 2, ours from 2 to 3. Parents and son are too far away to even think about it.

Cheeky fcuker! Lottery mate, literally could be any. Some years ago a fellow blue did something similar for me when I was in a less good place, I’m just taking the baton in the relay race. Also my sister has been having very extreme problems mental health wise and your kind words and support to fellow blues haven’t gone unnoticed.
