Coronavirus (2021) thread

[Didsbury Dave]

He wasn't doing that, they had a joke because Whitty said Boris misquoted "easter" when he actually said "spring", and Boris said is there still spring after easter. He's promised nothing tonight.

I thought that exchange betrayed an underlying tension.

Over two million worldwide deaths

20 x full wembley stadiums :-(

The vaccine roll out so far is fantastic.
Have we got enough stock and/or future supply guarantees to maintain the current rate?

Yes.

I am in two minds on it and have no preference as such. But I don't want a split on here.

I certainly don't want to fall out with Kaz either as I think her views on capitals are genuine.

I just find it hard to tabulate data without some way to categorise in here.

But I really do not want to row with people over it.

So will try to post without emphasis and see if it works.

You could put the info in a table like this

1	2	3	4
5	6	7	8

If you click on the three dots next to the envelope, it allows a table to be created. I don't know how you are posting the data PC/Laptop/phone etc, so it might be less easy than I've described.

Roads round here are just too goddam busy.

The main motorway near me, M66, was closed most of day due to loads of crashes this morning in the ice, and you wouldn’t believe how much traffic has been piling through Rammy all day, unreal.

Nipped to the shops earlier and far too many people out and about, loads of people still shopping in pairs and families, and even now the drone of the constant flow of traffic on the main roads is evident.

and this is supposed to be a sleepy village....

Possibly, Whitty did jump on the "easter" comment quite quickly, but Boris wasn't the one who brought easter up, the stupid journalist did that.

I think the way the data has been presented over last few weeks/months has been completely fine.

 

[worsleyweb]

Why are cases shooting up again during lockdown? I know the lockdown is somewhat half hearted this time round but doesn't explain why numbers dropped considerably at the start of the week then risen significantly again.

Did everyone stay in first few days of Jan and then rush out again panic buying when lockdown was announced? It's the only thing I can think of.

I think we did over 600,000 tests today. The trend over the last week is down.

I am not very computer savvy or easily able to do things like this or I would.

But happy to let anyone else do so if they wish and know how to do this.

Just typing out this stuff takes ages and I can only do it in the way I am used to doing unfortunately.

OK don't worry about it, just pointing out it was there, as not everybody explores the software available.

Knowsley on Merseyside has the current highest rates. Stupid how they were allowed to be in tier 2 for so long.

 

[cleavers]

my problem not hers

Yet you keep pointing it out, nobody else has because it's not an issue.

 

[Summerbuzz]

We'll be short of the 80 million who died in WW2 but still.

British & Empire combatants had a 3% chance of dying in that war. It could work out about the same if COVID just ran riot for the next 6 years.

We lost 67,000 civilians in WW2. More British people were killed by COVID in the first nine months of this pandemic.

There's tension everywhere, it's hardly surprising given the situation we're all in.

Nobody has a brain like mine , reading lots of stuff is difficult for me at the best of times , like i said my problem , i will give up trying

I had the impression that Whitty did answer a couple with "to answer the question", after Johnson waffled.
