Hi, i read your totals on here most days, and have been feeling a little less stressed that dale is coming down. But i'm a bit confused now - can you remind me how you get your tally? The local stuff says Rochdale is the highest it's been since April now with 65.9 per 100,000
Rochdale at risk of hospitality lockdown as rate hits five-month high
The borough of Rochdale is at risk of further restrictions due to a worrying rise in coronavirus cases.

I'm really fed up, we had to cancel our one week in Wales in June as we missed the travel cut off by 2 weeks, yet then my sister got 2 holidays to Wales in during July and August... but we have our birthday week in Wales booked to go 19th Sept, for my sons 4th birthday, still having had no holiday this year (and we booked 2 seperate weeks in Wales in January, the June one and Sept). I'm stressing now that by the 19th we'll get told we can't go. Having packed and all ready. It'd kill me.
and i'm my mums support bubble, she's 77 living alone, has not been in my flat 5 minutes walk away since March - she's only left the house to have 2 seperate holidays in Wales with my sister, my son is desperate for her to come. We'd kind of agreed a one off for tomorrow. But my sister has hit the roof saying i'm putting mum at risk (no one in this flat has been bloody anywhere, it's my sister who has had to go out due to her job) and she says im "mental" and slammed the phone down on me making me feel guilty and useless. I knew it'd be the last time mum would be here all year, possibly forever, and mum who does not really get how serious it all is still says "i can do what i want forget your sister".
So am i going to miss our one and only holiday 19th Sept. Do i walk my mum round to my flat tomorrow to spend 5 hours here - the only risk is coming up the stairwell... i don't know. And as well my son is due to start nursery when we get back from our holiday, he's never been, i've been pressured by the HV to have him "tried out" with other children to see how he gets on... but the nursery (attached to a school) are sending daily stress texts warning the parents to "stop being in the nursery entrance as there is no social distancing going on" and all that kind of shit, and that's before he even goes (they all went back this week, he was having a delayed start). I feel like scrapping it. How can i put us all at risk in Rochdale, he would not be able to see my mum, my mum who might not know who he is in a years time. But if i pull him out, it means i have to pick his school by January without him ever even having been to a nursery. Schools aren't allowing visits - you're meant to pick a school for 7 years of your childs life without seeing inside. I know no one to ask, no circle of friends, nothing. So we have to pick and he'd have to start school in Sept 2021 having never even been in nursery and never having spent time away from me. But why send him to nursery for 3 mornings a week from 28th Sept in this hell of a town when the virus is spiking and we're 45 and 50 and not exactly full of health. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do about any of it. god i need my week in Wales, and i bet that's pulled from under me.

Out of interest mate, what’s the situation like in the uae with lockdown and the like?
We’re still masks in public and can’t get into a shop without showing you’re green on your app. The upsetting bit is quite a bit of spread in gym classes so I’ve got a horrible feeling they’ll close the gyms and pools again and I’ll end up topping myself as it’s literally the only thing to do right now.

In the relation to tests and death rate which is still very low, it’s worth reminding that most tests done earlier in the year were given to front line staff, nhs, the already admitted to hospital and care homes. The rates were obviously going to be higher then. Comparing now and saying it’s a weaker virus is a bum steer. The death rate will increase in line with testing sooner than we think.

It's fairly normal again now. Still have to wear masks like you guys in Qatar; can't imagine that'll change any time soon. But everywhere is open, just with temperature checks before entering. Cases have been rising though so I wouldn't be surprised to see some scaling back of certain things in the next few weeks.
rightio, so back into restrictions. Whatever you may think this is partly due to rising cases AND partly due to faltering test capacity and processing, there's a panic on basically. This covid thing must have snuck up on them again :D
does anyone know what this means for outdoor football at a sports centre with organised precautions and systems? can't quite work it out yet
edit: The rule does not apply to schools and workplaces, or weddings, funerals and organised team sports. Time to establish whether we're an organised team....

First UK death confirmed of COVID in December. So very likely those that thought they had it in December or January may well have done. Puts that argument as to when it was first here to rest.
