A new variant after people travelled abroad. What a surprise.

Cheshire and Warrington gets tier 3 and pet poodle Liverpool doesnt.

If I am right and they all get visited by tier 3 surrounding them it will be a disaster there. THEN someone will wake up after folks on Merseyside die as a result of their 'generosity'.

If Merseyside had any sense they would demand Tier 3.

Usual half baked actions too late.

Another new strain. Christ.

Hancock has announced Essex, Norfolk, Sussex, Surrey, Oxfordshire and Hampshire will enter Tier 4 restrictions from Boxing Day.

Of course the virus will take two days off till then ffs

​

Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Swindon, Isle of Wight, New Forest, Northamptonshire, Cheshire and Warrington will go into Tier 3,

Oxford has put in for approval

Promoting the Liverpool tests as a big success. Hence they get preferential treatment to make it look like they are a big success story.

Has anyone told him that cases in Liverpool have shot up over past week and they had more cases than Manchester yesterday. Or will he find out next Monday as usual?

This is increasingly becoming very disturbing.

With respect, Ferguson has great expertise and should be listened to.

His original modelling has held up very well in reality, it's just inconvenient to you.

And it's not significantly different to anyone else's modeling either.

He shouldn't be nowhere near all this
He broke the rules and his stats on previous viruses have been way off.
The fact the government is listening to people like him is unbelievable.

So this new variant is from South Africa or is this another new strain?

 

[roubaixtuesday]

So, tier 2/3 remains across much of England.

Boxing Day sales are going ahead, even though govt says tier three is not adequate to contain the new variant.

This is nothing short of criminal. A policy to deliberately spread this virus variant.

Shocking dereliction of leadership. Madness.

The maps just shown with days old data CLEARLY show Merseyside going up more than GM.

It has got worse since.

Will we have any observant journos?

Right. Silly question.

Take it to the other thread

Trying to shift the blame onto South Africa by the look of it.

Even though new strains have been detected here for weeks

Another one

You haven't got a clue about his work. You just want a convenient bogeyman to deflect from the inconvenient reality.

It is very disappointing , boxing day is as bad a decision that i have ever seen

No, the new variant spreading widely now is from an unknown source. This South African strain is BRAND new, a different one again. He said that two people have been found to have the SA one so far

 

[Claytop]

These variants must be all over Europe, I struggle to believe it would just be us with them.

 

[bugsyblue]

Fuck this. I’m done.

Boxing Day Sales in Manchester. Fucking Hell. Carnage.
