Coronavirus (2021) thread

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Definately tension between whitty and boris , has been for a long time , whitty cant hide it

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

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