Anyone wanting to see it today's Zoe Graph of ongoing cases is on the Data Thread.

The straight line in the past week is near vertical just like it was in South Africa. It has gone up over 64,000 today to the highest ever ongoing cases total of 1,549,676. Over 2% of the UK population has it now. Matches the ONS data well. And over 151,000 predicted new cases today.

In contradiction to the case numbers. Personally I've no idea what's going on, but this thing is clearly everywhere now.

Suggestion of the right thing to do ahead of Christmas:

1. Get some LFTs in
2. If you're meeting up with family or friends, especially anyone vulnerable, do an LFT immediately beforehand, whatever your vax status.

Oh, and the same before leaving home for the Leicester match.

Stay safe blues.
 
Just been past the Rammy covid test centre, as usual on my dog walk, and I can categorically say that it’s the longest queue I've seen there since it was built.

This. This last two weeks or so I’ve been telling all the family to test regularly and report the result to the NHS. Had some members of the family who have never done one and they were happy to start doing so. Test before going to meet people outside the household or e.g. the game, and test again 2 or 3 days after. Going to be needed for a while I fear.

Sadly though we have two who are not only anti-vaxxers but won’t test either. I’m lost for words but they’ve been asked to test and we hope they see sense.

PS Most of the testing kits I’m picking up or sent from the NHS are nasal tests only, so easier to use than the back of the throat ones.

Don't think thats true, everyone I know that are visiting or having visiting reletives are testing. We are because we don't want to spread it to our relatives.
 
According to NHS England, there has been a 42% increase in the number of patients being treated primarily for COVID-19 in London since the start of December.

The number of COVID patients primarily treated for other conditions has more than doubled in the same period.
