The cases are clearly coming down and we are beating the virus. You just need to be more “positive”.

Not necessarily. If I turn my tablet upside down and work my way across from March to January. The cases are clearly coming down and we are beating the virus. You just need to be more “positive”.

Hi Boris

We have a path out of this which is the vaccinations

As things stand, it's very likely this will outrun the vaccination programme, alas, unless prompt and severe action taken.

Sobering.

this is without the Xmas/new year and the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of households mixing. Heard a doctor say that won’t come into affect till end of Jan. no idea how hospitals will cope.

The biggest fall in the R rate came in the week before the first lockdown. People are going to have to take the initiative because the Government won’t until it’s too late. I know people have to earn a living but we would have the virus on the run if social contacts were kept to an absolute minimum over the next couple of months.

Christmas spike is starting to show. 29th dec had nearly 80k positive tests. Going by the date the test was taken.

could well be the people going home as T4 was announced.

Am I missing something ? Most positives in a day is 57k?

Tier 4 is lockdown. Making it over the whole country won’t make any difference.
This is the natural seasonal ebb and flow of a virus which will peak in February.

We’re behaving as if it’s April again. If they’re not going to enforce a lockdown then those of us calling for one have to practice what we preach.

We’ve already had the virus so it’s not for our benefit but people really need to start thinking of the workers on these wards now, as well as the thousands dying.

Enough is enough with the selfishness.

Going by reported day yep.

but going by the day the sample was taken it’s nearly 80k on 29th.
