+4322 cases, over 1000 patients now in hospital, 127 on ventilators and +27 deaths.

Was just coming on to post this.... not great and fingers crossed death figures keep low given medical professionals know a lot more on how to deal with it now

I hope this is what happens, and that it's as close to a full on capitulation by Boris and co as possible, giving as little long term disruption as is possible in the circumstances (though the short term disruption with or without a deal is still pretty significant)

just know how most of the right wing papers will portray it though...a Boris victory over EU...him on fron pages doing his churchill victory sign and all that...

My cousin was saying they're properly enforcing the household rule in pubs in Fallowfield. Sounds like the poor staff are having a hard time of it but they're trying!

yep, it's happening. Thought it would be a bit later in year than this.

She also said police are hanging around to check how many live in houses and knocking on doors when they see too many going in. Making an early example to scare people I imagine

And its probably making Fallowfield the safest it's been in freshers week for many years...

I’d love to get a copy of his DNA results to find out how much of his ancestry is from immigrants. I would not be surprised if his family is fairly new to the island. 

With a name like Farage, he's definitely not pure Anglo-Saxon!

We're in a far better position now in most regards with the virus now than first in April and I think its important to remember that at the peak we were experiencing a suspected 100,000 infections a day and now its stands at about 6000 meaning we're detecting a lot more of the community transmission

Yeah...but how about compared to early March?

yeah, only the hardcore will be celebrating, surely...brexit has dropped right down as a priority in most people's lives.

Not to racists it hasn't - they still think it's a higher priority than covid .......the fucking c**ts that they are!

I think we have similar infections per day to late Feb/early March but thankfully it’s not growing as quickly because R is above 1 but well below 2, whereas back then March was at least 2.5. Worth remembering that we weren’t social distancing at all back then.

A glimmer of a bit of hope in a sh*tty day - I seem to remember reading before that a % of people probably have some immunity from previous Coronavirus infections

Exactly, people seem to forget up until the start of March life was completely normal with nothing in place whereas now we're heading into the period with existing (and some tightening) restrictions, we also had a health service with no idea of what to expect whereas now we have a far greater idea of what could happen

I’m essentially a glass half full person and I’m hoping my heroine of the moment, Professor Sarah Gilbert comes through for us! It’s great to come on here to chat and share experiences as the most optimistic of us can have down days. We definitely need to have a ‘when will this shit end’ meet up next year - don’t worry I’m convinced you’ll get a ticket

French originally although I’ve seen people comment that it has Arabic origins. I suspect they may be trolling.

But...being a negative nelly...back in the spring they could do a full lockdown...whereas this time that is a last resort as would be too devastating for economy...and not sure we'd get some compliance anyway...

I wouldn't have done an efests Glasto meet in the past but totally would do next time (whether i get in on the 2021 resale or I have to wait for a ticket for 2022) because of this thread

So I think measures are inevitable next week, what are we thinking they’re going to be?
