Matt Hancock gave a £multi million contract to the guy who ran his local lol.
You might get lucky in Lancaster. Low numbers and your neighbouring regions are pretty low.case rates 7 day average per 100k up to 20th Nov;

Maybe she fancied you ?
Not sure how things will go down where I am in Chorley. They have recommended tier 2 but everything south and west of us will probably be in tier 3.case rates 7 day average per 100k up to 20th Nov;

Sorry, wasn't suggesting that you in any way have it easy down there. It's obviously been incredibly tough for everyone. Just frustrating that we're going into Tier 3 when, as @Healdplace points out, our cases are falling, as are hospital numbers and those on ventilators. Feels like the government are more reticent to impose restrictions on the south, but that's probably just my inherent northern bias!I wouldn't mind Tier 3 or a lockdown for another week in London.
When you look at the comparative data, London outperforms the NW and has done for five months or so, even though population density is much higher down here. The differences are evidently more stark when you look at them on a proportionate basis.
The rise in cases in London are primarily in a handful of boroughs in East London. Cases are decreasing in most boroughs. Of course, things can change.
I am still waiting to hear for an example of how London have been treated more favourably than all other areas.
I do find it amusing that many of my fellow northerners think we are having a party down here. It's been shite for months. Even when restrictions were lifted to a degree, going to places like the pubs were joyless experiences.
As for fairness, the virus ripped through London whilst there was no lockdown. At least the North had a lockdown to help stem transmission while millions of people in London were travelling by tube and bus each day and night.
Cases are falling but Manchester and Trafford hospitals are delaying lots of procedures/operations for patients on waiting lists. https://mft.nhs.uk/coronavirus-covid-19/Sorry, wasn't suggesting that you in any way have it easy down there.
