The Northwest is the main driver of the current plateau. Taken over from the Midlands which was the previous driver.
 
You think the scrotes though even know who Cummings is or even take any personal responsibility for their own actions?

For the past month I have seen hundreds of people taking the piss in my own locality, those people will take the piss regardless.

People who are responsible will continue to be responsible. Sadly, there are enough ignorant chunks of the populous who only care about themselves.

If more people let some weirdo like Cummings inform their decision, they were probably already looking for a get out of jail free card anyhow.
Gotta have someone to blame haven’t we?
Well I blame all the idiots taking the piss that have do so since day one
And don’t worry they will be clapping the nhs tonight at 8
It’s just selfish people
 
This is the same line of thinking people were peddling weeks ago when we arguing about the guidance not being clear enough "oh well I understand it so those who don't are thick." Ironically we're still arguing about it now given our government has performed a massive u turn on everything it told us all along.

Now it's, "well if people change their habits now they were going to anyway and they're selfish".

We know thick people exist and we know selfish people exist. Unfortunately those are the people most likely to spread the virus and harm the rest of us, so there's still a need for the government to acknowledge that and minimise the risk they pose to the rest of us.

If thick people exist then make the guidance understandable to thick people. Don't make it deliberately vague and then say "haha well you're thick if you don't understand it".

If behavioural scientists warn you that guidance had to be seen to be observed from the top down, or else you'll lose public buy in, then you observe it from the top down. You dont undermine it all just to protect one person.

Managing the virus involves managing people and their behaviour. That includes thick people and selfish people.

If people didn’t get how serious this was from the start of lockdown or didn’t understand what the message was (stay at home).
Then there is nothing anyone can do really
Can’t always blame the government
People have to take some responsibility themselves

Hospital deaths last seven days average out at 100 compared to 150 the previous seven days. Obviously we then have to factor all the other deaths in all settings but the trend is downwards. No need to get a grip on bringing down new infections quicker.

We're literally still arguing now about under what circumstances people had to stay at home and that's because the guidelines were badly drafted.

And I think it's totally understandable that some people might not have realised how serious it was given the PM basically said "don't go to the pub. But the pubs can stay open"

And then "actually the pubs will close, but everyone can have one massive last night out at the pub"
 
Not been on here for a while, without trawling through, when the kids return to school are the grandparents allowed to pick them up when their parents are working
Not unless in same household at the moment although the bubble may be extended to include people from outside your household this evening.
