You don't want anybody to get the thing because for some there are lingering effects that will continue to impact negatively on their health but especially the elderly and numbers but given the small mortality rate I would suggest keeping the elderly safe is a good start.

This is my hope too. If we can get even the over 80s vaccinated I *think* things could open up a huge amount, with guidelines still in place for the most vulnerable. Reason being, our NHS won't (shouldn't) become overwhelmed which is the entire point in lockdowns/guidelines in any case.

All depends on good news continuing with Pfizer and AZ following suit, hopefully soon.

I can only hope that it's one of your family or friends that dies rather than someone less selfish than you.

You do know that Flu cases have NEVER gone up over Christmas?
What makes you think Covid-19 will be any different.
Close schools two weeks beforehand and it will all be fine.

GM scoreboard:

Manchester 165 - down big from 259 to its lowest numbers since mid September. And first sub 200 since then. Total cases 29, 204. Weekly 4803. Pop score up by 29 to 5282. Lowest rise by Manchester in months. Weekly Pop down 51 to 868. Big falls will happen because of that student re-allocation of over 3000 in one go to Manchester.

Rochdale 158 - up from 156. Total cases 11, 609. Weekly 1052. Pop score up 71 to 5220. Weekly Pop down 48 to 473.

Oldham 129 - down from 162. A very long time since 129 was the third highest in GM. Total cases 13. 727. Weekly 1146. Pop score up 54 to 5789. Weekly Pop down 76 to 483. Huge drop as Oldham's Pop score rose hugely last week when it was having over 300 cases in the top 3 or 4 worst in UK. Big change.

Wigan 119 - down from 198. Lowest from Wigan since mid September too. Total cases 15, 260. Weekly 1193. Pop score up 33 to 4643. Weekly Pop down 65 to 363.

Bolton 118 - down from 158. Total cases 13, 961. Weekly 1024. Pop score up 41 to 4855. Weekly Pop down 37 to 356.

Salford 111 - down from 143. Total cases 12, 633. Weekly 1434. Pop score up 43 to 4881. Weekly Pop down 63 to 554.

Stockport 107 - up from 97. Worst increase in GM today. Not often you get to say that about Stockport! Total cases 9764. Weekly 674. Pop score up 36 to 3327. Nowhere near best today. Even Manchester beat it! Weekly Pop down 33 to 229.

Tameside 96 - down from 127. Total cases 9778. Weekly 882. Pop score up 42 to 4317. (In case you are puzzled - lower cases added than Stockport - larger Pop score rise - Stockport is much bigger than Tameside so 107 there is better than 96 here related to Pop(ulation). Weekly Pop down 41 to 389. Again - Weekly Pop falls more than Stockport as it measures the change over the week and Tameside has fallen further in those 7 days.

Bury 91 - down from 130. Total cases 8994. Weekly 663. Second best total in GM after soring big two or three weeks ago. Pop score up 47 to 4709. Again may seem a lot given the numbers but small borough population size. Weekly Pop down 60 to 347. But again big drop here because it is having much lower cases than last week.

Trafford 56 - down from 78 and 5th straight number under 100 for GMs best in show. Mid Sep since anywhere was this low in GM. Total cases 8223. Weekly 355. Long time since any borough was here too. Easily the lowest in GM. Pop score 23 to 3464. Lowest GM pop score rise in over 2 months. At 3464 now just 137 behind Stockport for overall lead - a gap narrowing by chunks daily. Good chance it will get there in a week or two unless Stockport falls further too. Weekly Pop down 53 to 149. Lowest anyone in GM has been since early/mid September. And 80 ahead of Stockport here.

Someone needs to investigate the reasons why Trafford has been the top performer in GM over this second wave. It was not in wave 1. So we could maybe learn a lot from figuring out why.

Any theories?

Landmark Danish study finds no significant effect for facemask wearers

Do face masks work? Earlier this year, the UK government decided that masks could play a significant role in stopping Covid-19 and made masks mandatory in a number of public places. But are these policies backed by the scientific evidence? Yesterday marked the publication of a long-delayed trial...

Ha. The Great "white" hope of antimaskers shows that wearing masks results in 18% less infections than if you didn't. That is NOT statistically insignificant.
I raise you with the many often peer reviewed reports that came with the CDC press statement last week. Which also point out that you mainly catch it when you're in a confined unventilated space. I await the peer review process for Denmark with interest.

So to all the antimskers out there, wear a face nappy and shut the f*ck up. You are wrong on a colossal scale.

Better to where gloves and socially distance especially those ones laced with arsenic.

Girls are harder to get near in Trafford since the first wave?
