Oh maybe next week the pub's will be allowed to open but not to sell alcohol Go figure. It doesn't make much sense does it when you compare differing parts of the country or even the UK! Part of me thinks they are trying to keep London out of tightened restrictions, plus Scotland has been more cautious to try to get ahead pf the virus. I know it's of no consolation to you though, I hope you'll be able to see your Mum soon. 3 minutes ago, Zoo Music Girl said: Woo my borough is top of the pops! Ruh roh!

It's based on several factors, like the R number, the hospitalisations and probably political reasons too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd wave was much worse than the first. It was, but that was a proper 2nd wave wasn't it, a different strain or something? Whereas this is not really a 2nd wave, but the first one that never went away but it's spread was reduced by lockdown restrictions. Also...Telegraph pointing out that this 2nd wave/spike/whatever will be flatter and wider than the first..which I guess means health services less likely to be overwhelmed, but could mean a higher number of deaths.

I don't know if it was a different strain but it is probably different to this now you say it, especially with the north being let out of lockdown too soon.

Fuzzy Afro Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Interesting that 367 died but you need to do a bit of digging to find this on the BBC website. I feel like society has become desensitised to these big numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy Afro Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 I’m not sure how much longer the government can avoid going further. Ultimately if the cases keep growing, surely the NHS would be overwhelmed by Christmas, and Bergamo-esque scenes will be disastrous for Johnson.
