Coronavirus (2021) thread

The latter. They more than halve the R rate on there own.

Every time I go in a shop it's full of people without them on, they look at me like I'm odd for wearing mine. Wouldn't mind it's people of all ages they just don't care or think anything bad could happen to them.

The tier system for me was a huge mistake. All it did was divide the country further. In times of a national crisis you can't have some parts of the country allowed certain freedoms and others not, it just causes resentment. It was also ludicrous with a pub two miles up the road from another allowed to open while the other one had to remain closed. The blame speech doesn't help either. Even top experts have denounced this negativity. If people keep on hearing they're not complying and if they don't they will be punished, when the majority are, even the most compliant will get fed up.

It’s a proper shit situation, I feel for you. I have a few mates and Father in the same boat.

However there are ways to food shop cheaply, and it’s better to struggle now than have a family without you by the off chance you ended up dying from it.

I know that’s a bit blunt but it’s the way me and my mates have been talking about it.

Anyone struggling should check out https://communitygrocery.org.uk/ based in Sharston. If you're also in the North Manchester area I may be able to get some small food parcels delivered - just PM me

Oops - capitals!

THIS IS SHOUTING EACH POST

What I do isn't.

My capitals flag up headline only so those looking for the data in the midst of fast moving threads with hundreds of posts going in can identify them when they need them.

You do seem to look for things to criticise. No idea why Kaz.

But I don't want to drive you away,

Someone should:-)

the virus starts off at maximum speed and slows dow

I know what you mean, but I think that's not really a good way to describe it. The virus grows exponentially - the more virus there is, the faster it grows. It is accelerating now, and will accelerate ever faster unless we act.

It is 24, 957. And 2181 on ventilators - which is as worrying. Though by now it might well be 26, 000.

If you look back to page 98 and 99 from earlier today I post all the data of patients and ventilators for England amd separately for each of the England regions over the past 24 hours.

Be warned the one on page 99 contains a few capitals.

The one on page 98 is relatively immune.

Must have had the vaccine.

Where are you seeing those figures? The gov website hasn’t updated hospital figures since 22nd.

The government has lost all control.
The tiered system has been a disaster.

Dickheads take no notice of a number, 3,4 or 5 does not mean fuck all to them. Fines or deportation to dipperville is required
