if we open up, we may as well make it a point where we open up for good.

It’s complete guesswork though, just a pointless statement. They could easily be open by March, we just don’t know.

I know, but this has to be the last lockdown for good now.

Yep.

Isn't that the case in a lot of places though, particularly the UK? I know we're up shit creek but it's mad how Ireland can somehow be so much even worse off (at this stage) in terms of numbers per population.

We did so well first time round, we were more open to it. Best explanation I can give

England records a further 508 COVID deaths

It brings the total number of confirmed deaths reported in hospitals to 55,580, NHS England said on Sunday.

The deaths were between 17 December and 9 January.

Weekend numbers

All those deaths is really difficult for the staff to take , spare them a thought

Wales records another 1,660 positive COVID cases and 45 more deaths

Sunday's figures take the total number of confirmed cases in Wales to 169,754.

The total number of fatalities since the start of the pandemic now stands at 3,964.


Deputy Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said it is "sobering" to see the impact COVID-19 has had on health service workers across London.

He added: "But we are proud to be able to offer support to the London Ambulance Service at this critical time. At the heart of policing is the drive to save lives and keep people safe and I know officers volunteering to support the LAS will do so with pride and upmost professionalism.

"The Met has a long history of supporting our blue light colleagues across the city, responding to some of London's most challenging incidents.

"This partnership will see the Met provide 75 officers taken from a range of commands to drive ambulances to incidents across the capital

My daughters place has had 3 in the last fortnight. One of which was a resident in their 90s.
That's added to the previous two a few weeks back.
Two or more positive tests is classed as an outbreak, I believe. If so they're on their second outbreak with no one showing any symptoms whatsoever.

Wonder if they're using lateral flow tests?

So it looks like when the out of hospital deaths are added we are going to be looking at maybe 600 - 700 deaths. Absolutley huge numbers for a Sunday.

To complete the UK data I started during half time

Northern Ireland

17 deaths - up from 6 last Sunday

1112 cases - down from 1662 last Sunday.

At 31.2% positive

 

[Healdplace]

573 deaths without England out of hospital (often next to none on Sunday so total almost certainly will look lower than it is today compared with recently though the England hospital data is well up on past Sundays)

Big catch ups Tuesday / Wednesday
