oh bollocks  

It's not that big a rise, I was just hopeful that we'd finally started to see things turn around in Oldham after all the measures, but it just keeps on creeping up. The dip yesterday might have just been weekend reporting.

Of course, it's worth bearing in mind that when you've had a sharp rise in an infection that can last several weeks, then your number of infected in the population wouldn't immediately go down, even if you had an R number of .5. Hmm, Maybe I should be looking for the R number, if I want to see the first signs of recovery......

 

Well, I didn't find it, but I found this data from last week, that seems to be showing a far higher rate than the MEN.

"Between 6 - 12 September Oldham had 280 new cases identified, an increase on the previous week total of 158. The total number of confirmed cases in Oldham now totals 3374, a rate of 1423 per 100,000 population, the highest rate across Greater Manchester."

What's going on here? Anyone any good with stats? I'm confused.

That'll show that Coronavirus, no infections for us as well be tucked up in bed by 1015 after being in a pub all day.

A friend who works in a pub told me they had a group of 16 attempt to book tonight, and were most put out when told that they couldn't

Confirmed Boris will address the nation at 8PM tomorrow, unlikely to be any different to his speech in the commons

I think those numbers are the total since the pandemic began, whereas the MEN is showing the numbers in the last week

Wonderful. I can’t wait for him to tell us what we need to do whilst he refuses to accept any of the blame for this shambles. His whole Government are a joke.

Manchester going full Wuhan?

I'd love to say I'm surprised but I lived city centre bordering Salford for about 10 years along with a stint in Bury for a year.

I am not at all surprised...

Tories are not happy about lockdown effects on the economy. I think Labour will support any measures anyway though.

From what I can gather:

 

- 10pm curfew on hospitality, effective from Thursday

- Return to working from home, where this can be done without detriment to the business

- Papers are split on whether household mixing will be banned straight away, the mail say it is likely. Telegraph saying Johnson will hold this option in reserve for now.

That whole "get back to the office and save Pret" thing was well worth it then.

Seems odd to do one of the serious table thumping speeches if he isn't actually saying all that much. Is it just to avoid the press?

Is this 10pm curfew really gonna stop covid?

The only good thing I would say is that establishments are now restricted to table service only, which restricts people moving around between tables, which is a lot better. Prevents crowding round bars in pubs too. Should have been this way since July i don’t know why this is only a thing now.
