Another 54,990 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the UK - the sixth day in a row that new cases have topped 50,000.

A further 454 people have died with coronavirus, government figures show.

It takes the total number of people who have died within 28 days of a positive coronavirus test in the UK to 75,024.
 
When do we start seeing the fallout/results of people doing what the fuck they want over the past week or so?
 
Should be clearer over the next week or so. Schools being out acts in the opposite direction of course.

I would have thought the case data by this weds or Thurs (6th/7th) would probably be the best to encapsulate nearly all Christmas covid, some of the NYE and be minimally affected by any non school return omissions
 
England hospital data VERY scary.

In 24 hours:

Patients UP 1023 to 23, 557. That is up 5207 in past 7 days.

Ventilators UP 77 to 2017, That is up 519 - A THIRD - in just 7 days.

Big trouble ahead here.
 
When Johnson did his speech today and said schools are safe, did any of the journalists ask him why schools in London are closed?
 
Will post more after the game - but

ENGLAND HOSPITAL REGIONS - better news for the North West to cheer everyone up.


REGIONS /// PATIENTS /// VENTILATORS

LONDON P UP 350 to 5861. V UP 56 to 713

MIDLANDS P UP 151 to 3959 V UP 12 to 324

NE/YORKS P UP 92 to 2624 V DOWN 2 to 177



But NORTH WEST - PATIENTS DOWN130 to 2410 and VENTILATORS DOWN 12 to 183.
 
Pretty sure this next month, what led us here, is what they will be teaching the next generation about in history.

Put it another way, didn't watch any of the first half.

Something's transcend governments, parties, the decades. Our lifespans. There are many reasons for things. Sometimes the arguments are like stacks of cards. Each underpinned by something deeper, harder to avoid underneath.

The cards;

The individual's right to life.

and

Society's ability to protect it's citizens.

are right at the bottom. Right down there. Nothing we talk about comes close. Like the talk before the game. The window dressing of the house rather than the foundations you build on. New curtains! OMG!

If you think there's historically or philosophically any other reason given for the existence of goverment, society, infrastructure - anything you can see - I'm probably now going with that being understandable, as the odd generation in the past has made the same mistake, and lost perspective to a degree that baffles and worries people for decades.

We actually did this review once, last century? Were they wrong? Or did we just get waylaid? Allow ourselves to believe the lessons didn't apply to us, that the truths at the bottom had changed?

'Beware the card sharps!'

Even the flipping medieval townsfolk knew that much!
