Other watch areas;
Andyhinch - Cheshire East - not good news sadly. Another record day. Think we know why.
124 cases - up from 101. Five of the last 6 over 100 (and the other was 96). Total cases 10, 560.
Pop score up 32 - more than most places in GM today. And Liverpool. To 2749.
Weekly Pop up from 167 to 188. Big rise and when I started tracking here for Andy it was down just over 100 and mid way between the two best GM boroughs then - Trafford and Stockport with the rest of GM well ahead.
Since them every borough in GM has been overtaken by Cheshire East and it now has a higher weekly Pop than the whole of Greater Manchester.
If ever there was an advert for why these tiers do not work and just export cases from higher tiers to lower tiers as people get around the rules in droves by going for drinks and meals just a few miles away in lower tier locations THIS IS IT.
I am convinced this will be happening all over the UK and the government know it because they used it to justify why they were not taking Tameside out of Tier 3 in Greater Manchester.
But it is utterly pointless doing that to protect Tameside from spiking by tier tourists if you can just go in the opposite direction and spike some other location.
This is not far fetched. It clearly happens.
