Regional Scoreboard: NORTH AND MIDLANDS


WEST MIDLANDS 2103 - UP from 1254

NORTH EAST 699 - UP from 593

YORKSHIRE 1760 - UP from 1184


And NORTH WEST 2551 - UP from 2199. So less of a rise today than WM and Yorkshire

But still clear leader as highest cases north of the southern regions.
 
There should be so many people who are now isolating due to either having the virus or being in contact with those who have it the roads and shops should be quiet. But it’s the opposite. Have people forgotten about isolating? Country full of fuck wits

I have to disagree I'm afraid.

I don't agree with that, but I do think a suspension might be necessary.

But mainly, we need a set of restrictions in place the experts actually believe will reduce the prevalence. Otherwise events may overtake any ability to run footie, or much else besides

It would help if the authorities has enforced restrictions at the outset - we were told there were to be no post goal celebratory hugs, no handshakes and so -on to enable a re-start last season. Now someone scores and there's a pile on and managers come out elbow bump then fucking hug each other !!!

I said this back when it restarted , thefe istoo much contact between players and management etc , it is an emotion led reflex action that they have doing all their live s. Wasnt there a thing that they would turn their heads away when tackled ? It was fucking ridiculous to go ahead with a contact sport , bubbles are such a false sense of security

Of course they won't

Agreed.

But many people will have delayed testing until Boxing Day and yesterday and that MIGHT bump up
numbers a bit because of Christmas Day even though the infections will be from before Christmas.
 
I think we will go back into national lockdown from January 2. Hopefully though it will be more like the April / May lockdown which will hopefully drive infections and deaths down to low numbers and give the country a chance to roll out millions of vaccines. If we can do 2m per week that will be 16m by the end of February.
 
The GM scoreboard today shows my mounting concerns over Stockport were justified.

Easily its worst day in many weeks and not far off beating Manchester today.

Stockport was worse than Liverpool today too.

Stepping Hill could soon be in big trouble if this is not stemmed.

this is a reflection of christmas shopping and London being kept in tier 2 for too long.

This is not reflected in the data. The main driving force was the education sector. Which region has the most post-school students (one university has 120,000 students) and children of school age (over 3,000 schools)?

When London was in Tier 2 it had less positive cases and deaths than the NW. Often a quarter or third the number of deaths.

In terms of comparison, London is at a significant disadvantage because of the likes of pop density and housing tenure. Multiply the City of Manchester figures by 20 and that would provide a more suitable comparison than the likes of the NW region.

Also London had several weeks in T2 with the mutant more easily transmitted strain before it had been identified so all those students and kids, all population density was becoming a breeding ground with it being known - it had yet to spread North
 
GM had 855 cases today - up from 717. But still at 33% of the NW total of 2551.

Stockport had a bad day. Rochdale too by recent standards but still sub 100 unlike Stockport. Who with Manchester jointly had 30% of the GM numbers today.

Trafford better day. Most otherwise only little up and down.

Oldham though is doing remarkably well and is staying low.
 
I think January should be a complete lockdown. Harshest one ever. Fines galore for anyone not abiding. One month of severe lockdown.

come Feb , vaccinations will be well under away.

just lockdown everyone due a vaccine between now and March. Ultra-shielding. The people being locked down who don't have any prospect of getting a vaccine anytime soon are otherwise just locking down to then come out in March, expected to get a desperate economy going and spreading it amongst themselves as has happened every single time so far. Unless you're promising a vaccine for everyone at the end of the next lockdown and the personal release on lockdown is dependent on having the vaccine, then for me another lockdown is just prolonging the inevitable for many. We know who we want to vaccine so get them shielded.
 
Worrying that several care home workers in Germany are in hospital with flu like symptoms after being given a huge overdose in error of the vaccine - five times recommended dose.
