When they say its much more transmissible, what does this mean? Does it stay live on surfaces for longer? Does it travel through the air for a further distance?
Got a feeling the whole country will be in tier 4 soon and schools will be closed for a extended period
I think secondaries and higher will close and go online, transmission seems to be fairly low in primaries and younger.Got a feeling the whole country will be in tier 4 soon and schools will be closed for a extended period
That Barnet, Christ.
Fucking hell:
COVID case rates above 1,000 cases per 100,000 people in eight areas
COVID-19 case rates are now above 1,000 cases per 100,000 people in eight local areas of the UK, the latest data shows.
Three of the areas are in Wales: Merthyr Tydfil, where the rate has jumped week-on-week from 926.6 to 1,299.6, which is the highest rate anywhere in the UK; Bridgend, up from 777.3 to 1,122.1; and Blaenau Gwent, where the rate has climbed from 698.5 to 1,006.3.
The other five areas are in England:
All figures are based on data published on Monday afternoon and are for the seven days to December 17.
- Thurrock (a huge jump from 435.9 to 1,178.7)
- Havering (up from 547.1 to 1,123.5)
- Epping Forest (up from 448.8 to 1,078.3)
- Basildon (up from 650.6 to 1,055.0)
- Medway (up from 641.2 to 1,037.1)
Based on that, it’s a race against time to get mass vaccinations up and running as soon as possible.That is as grim as it gets.
It’s fucking frightening. As much as we might not like it, we should all be in tier 4 by now. Even people who I know have by and large exercised commonsense have been tier jumping to go on the piss.Astonishing figures, 1% of the population testing positive every week. The actual numbers infected are probably several times higher.
Dread to think what hospitalisations and deaths will follow.
Stay home blues.
Yep, telling nobody shiteall they dont get told 24 hours a day. Just wasting peoples time with this crapAnother pointless presser.
Steady on mate!That is as grim as it gets.
