Todays numbers ... 😞  

During the holiday period, the COVID-19 Dashboard will be updated every day, but the amount of data being updated will vary

Love how those graph show the rates starting to go down thanks to the lockdown, before Johnson and co unceremoniously ended it, to appease the anti-lockdown brigade, leading to a massive surge at the worst possible time and the need for an even harsher lockdown for a longer period of time.

Lucky you @oneeye.  I've been told my copies won't arrive till Mid-January, so I've still not see what it looks like in print.  Thanks for your support and happy reading.

I've got a curry getting delivered for tea.

Even this good news is bad news... I ordered a sensible chicken tikka bhuna and what I got was a chicken tikka masala. Like eating chicken in tomato soup. 

 

Time to move onto another establishment.

Taken from another forum...

 Case rates per 100,000 population over the last 7 days

Wales 17,507 cases      555.3
Scotland 6,256 cases        114.5
Northern Ireland N/A Data not currently available for this metric. 0
England 226,191 cases       401.9

England and Wales now out of control. 

Oxford, we need you. We need you bad. 

Wales’ numbers have actually dropped every day for the past 4 days which tells you how much shit we were in and we didn’t even have much of the new variant.  It’s certainly a really bad time and mentally i have written off January and February.

On 12th April we had just over 4,000 confirmed cases that day, so we’re reporting 10x more now with the same amount being hospitalised.

Testing capacity was non existent, certainly no community testing. 4,000 was more likely to be 40 - 60k a day

41,385 new cases - UK

2,960 new cases - France

Not sure if we are doing particularly badly or the French have been tough and got a handle on it.  Hell of a difference...

Didn’t they have nighttime curfews in all the major cities ? When things started peaking about a month ago ?

You should have asked for chicken tarka masala, it's like chicken tikka masala but otter....

Answered my own question. Spot the outlier...jesus.

That is grim, our government really have handled the pandemic appallingly.

Different peaks at different times. They had nearly 90k cases early Nov.

They went up, then down.

We went up, then down, then up again (and still rising).

To the untrained eye, it looks like our measures were nowhere near tough enough.

    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9
