When Boris next comes on TV he should be highlighting this and explaining to us why the police are doing fuck all and also why the BBC are not criticising it
There looks like far too many people there watching the game too, fucking hordes of stewards dotted round etc, ridiculous. Just sends the wrong message out.
 
Should all be arrested and fined. Why were they allowed to even start gathering in the first place. Totally irresponsible by all including the police.
The commentators don’t help with regards the game too, finding great hilarity in the cameras highlighting how many people are watching the game from behind the fences, even showing a few women drinking champers - “the romance of the cup”....
 
It is one day so we should not base too much on it. Especially as it is Sunday. But....

The North West rise today is not coming from Greater Manchester.

As the NW total cases went up 409 in the day the GM numbers fell by 373.

Total 1860. And so 24.8% of the NW total today. Back where it was apart from the last two days when the cases were higher and it rose to 30/31%

Nine of the ten GM boroughs fell - some by quite a bit. One - bad borough turned good Oldham - even managed just to creep below 100.

Only one rose (Salford) and then just by 3.

No surprises where it’s coming from, considering the scenes on BBC....
 
So where did the NW rise come from today?

Merseyside had some record numbers.

Liverpool at 907 (up from 756) - with a Pop Score rise of 182 - a record for the city. Compared with Manchester that is more than double the number of cases and obliterates Manchester's Pop Score rise of 71. So in effect makes it between 2 and 3 times as bad.

The only time Manchester got near that kind of daily case number was when all the students were testing positive in September.

Wirral at 562 another record (up from 524) and way over Manchester's numbers too. With a Pop score rise of 174. Also a record here and 103 HIGHER than Manchester's Pop rise today. That is MORE cases than Manchester has ever had in the past few months.

For comparison when Manchester logged just six fewer cases than Wirral has today a few days ago its Pop then rose by 101 - the most in many weeks - but which is 73 less than Wirral rose by today.

Warrington too well up to a new record of 311 (up from 241) with a Pop Score rise of 148,

These Pop rises are the indicator as they smooth out population numbers and nowhere in GM has come close to them in this NW uptick. Indeed there have been only rare daily Pop rises just above 100 in GM. Nothing up this high.

I guess I should add the caveat - YET - though hope never to have to report it.

My daughter said 2 of her vaccinated colleagues that test weekly have tested positive with no symptoms. My thought was is it possible for the virus to be in the body and for that person to test positive before the vaccine, or any natural immunity from those that have already had covid, before the body ‘kills’ the virus?

Is that with a PCR test or a lateral flow test?

I overheard a conversation yesterday regarding lateral flow tests that they could return false positives from the use of mouthwash and also advised against testing before 10am as people can have like a 'acetone breath' that also gives false positives.

Maybe it's another case false positives.
