Coronavirus (2021) thread

Sure it will.

We are probably infecting about a million a week now.

In four weeks time that will be four million.

You think a million people per week are being infected or injected?

England hospital deaths 376 with just 30 from the NW.

This is Sunday data remember so usually the lowest number of the week. Even so it is double the last 'normal' number the week before Christmas,

NW usually under reports at weekend so this kind of low number is not necessarily as hopeful as it looks.

Sadly I expect Boris to be as decisive around the 32nd of January.

Given that Scotland is a far smaller country it doesn't say much for the policies of wee Jimmy

And yet he was adamant yesterday that schools remain open. Madness

But now he has teaching union action for the Mail and Express to divert his ineptitude from.

Sadly I expect Boris to be as decisive around the 32nd of January.

He'll carry on working 5 or 6 days behind that Sturgeon woman.

I'm expecting a Friday announcement for a 11th January start. Think that's the best we can hope for.

Infected.

Test results are approaching half a million, and we don't catch anywhere close to all of them.

So, very roughly a million infections a week right now.

Hancock has just said hes very worried about the South African strain is more transmissible. If that's the case and they have the data to suggest that why are we not going into full lockdown?

Politics

Just seen that the Celtic squad have travelled to Dubai for warm weather training. Incredible.

Not great PR though. Sends a pretty negative "fuck-you" message to their fans trapped at home in Glasgow. I would be pissed off if City did it at this time.

And if herd immunity is circa 60% that would require circa 40m to have caught the virus over the course of the last 12 months. I doubt we are even at 15m yet so a long way from where we would need to be. Mass roll out of vaccinations at 2m per week can't come soon enough

Not only that there are photos of Lennon and Scott Brown having a beer together by the pool. Few hours after losing against Rangers.
