NORTH WEST OUTSIDE GREATER MANCHESTER

Once again Merseyside was hit worse than GM. At least lockdown saves Boris being forced to put them into tier 4 weeks too late as it would be and this obscuring the ridiculous decision never to do so.

It was a catastrophic error that will have cost many lives there tragically, But hopefully also finally seen an end to the hopeless tier strategy.

Liverpool 622 cases - up from 592 to highest in a very long time. Nearly double Manchester and its Pop score rising by 125 in a day versus Manchester's 62 making clear which is worst.

Wirral 379 - up from 267 and also more cases than Manchester and compared to Manchester's 62 Pop rise Wirral's rise was 117,

This has been brewing since the mistake pre Christmas of not going into Tier 4. Which I think Merseyside quickly realised was not a cause to celebrate. It gave them a few fans at Anfield and Goodison but citizens paid dearly for it.

They have a longer way back from where they are now than GM does.

The people on Merseyside should have ignored the fact they were in tier 2 and acted as if they were in a higher tier.

Does anyone know if nurseries will also close as part of the new lockdown?

Not heard anything yet, trying to find out. I have a feeling they will :(

The government need to issue daily figures on the vaccination numbers, it is all a bit cloak and dagger at the moment. Getting the population vaccinated ASAP is the most important thing.

I’ve done that at many times throughout if I’ve either not got up to date with any downgrades of restrictions (so I’m not breaking any rules) or if I think there should be tougher restrictions than are in at any time.

The Nursery in Heaton Moor has been closed for months mate.

Quite a few have asked about that in the past few hours but I don’t think anyone has found any info on it yet

To be fair the first lockdown was extremely successful, the vast majority of people stuck to the rules and the resulting drop in cases and deaths showed it.

To be fair it was also at a time when viruses of this sort are naturally on the wane.

Good luck with that one, lol.
