Retail won't...  Foot fall is still way below pre-pandemic levels.  Who wants to shop for 3 to 4 hours in mask...  Obviously has a knock on a effect on all the industry around that as well like town centre coffee shops, restaurants etc.

I think it'll just be essential shops for that reason, though I'll be interested to see how much of it is "who wants to shop for 3 to 4 hours while a pandemic is on" versus the mask issue.

Long Covid is most definitely that age old case of a minute fraction of people having something particularly nasty and a huge amount of Walter Mittys, chancers or hypochondriacs self diagnosing that because they still feel a bit shite 6 weeks later that “ah’ve goat that as well”

Out of interest do you still think there’s a significant number of people in self-imposed lockdown? Even the more cautious people I know will still be attending non-essential retail and socialising with friends, albeit they are following the rule of 6. I’m not aware of people still choosing to avoid non-essential retail out of fear.

I don't understand that phase portrait chart, how does it work?

Red is the first wave, blue is the second wave/whatever we’re in now.

 

x axis is how many people are hospitalised each day. y axis is how many people are currently in hospital.

It’s all plotted on exponential axes, so a straight line means it’s going up at the same rate, a line bending up means it’s going quicker and a line bending down means it’s slowing.

Managed to avoid the school isolation thing now since the pandemic started - except when they where forced out of the classroom during lockdowns.

Positive LFT in my eldest class and now she has to stay home until its confirmed with a PCR.  So home school Friday and a ruined weekend at the very least.

All just in case...   

Great end to her last days at Primary School 😞

I can go one better than this....

At the school my mother in law teaches at they have 90 children out.

All due to 1 teacher being given a negative PCR result on Saturday then mixing with 3 other teachers at a BBQ on Sunday only to then be called on Monday saying that they'd made a mistake and her test was actually positive...!

Geuinely cannot be assed for the most part shopping at retail these days. Who can be assed marching around for stuff and then they never end up having what you need?

Always feels like a total waste of time.

As far as cases go, we are definitely in the midst of a new wave in Scotland. highest number of new cases since the start of the pandemic and rising. 

Deaths remain low for now thankfully. 

Looks like the Euros was  superspreader

There needs to be more of a definition of someones condition. As its stands, someone a bit short of breath for 5-10 weeks has "long covid" and someone who is having serious breathing issues or cronic fatigue etc also has "long covid".

Yep, thank that's what it's been.

I wonder how much of that was people coming down to London for the Eng v Scot game last week? It must be playing a big part in the rising case levels now.
