We allowed people to mingle across the country, such that in the next few weeks we will now see the rest of the UK be levelled up, boosted and ramped up to match the south east.

They should have just kept the November lockdown going for longer.. but even that may have not been enough...

[steviewevie]

the regional graphs for London and SE seemed to be levelling off or even coming down...?

I feel the media really needs to hold them to account for Christmas, they can’t get away with that huge error of judgement.

I’m not finding the wording strong enough for the stay at home message ... might just be me though

They knew that hospitalisation data looked like that days ago, but didnt lock down til days later, and kept the dashboard data at 28th december so we couldn't see how bad it had got until they showed that slide just then. Very very strange 

And did he just give us a primer for more younger people dying but without a slide of figures...

Good question, Vicky.

Theyve been in tier 4 for around 3 weeks now which is usually when we start seeing falls, hopefully this continues to other areas that were put in tier 4 shortly after and even more so under this lockdown

Watch out, if they were using specimen date then there’s a few days lag which can give the effect that numbers are falling.

Every time all they have cared about is getting the r rate barely under 1 even though they know how quickly it creeps back up. I don't for a moment believe the only advice they are taking is scientific advice.

NI's 7 day rolling average didn't increase today which is maybe a glimmer of hope (it dropped by 1!).

Possibly not much in it, and our levels are much higher than pretty much anywhere at the minute, but hopefully we have reached or are close to our 'peak'

Help! There's a twat on my telly for the second night running!

maybe it's because they all got on a train and fucked off out of there.

I'm dreading it, I end up working very long days because productivity goes through the floor - the lads not bad and doesn't need constant supervision die to his age but he is still a child he needs feeding, he doesn't always appreciate that your not in a meeting but your still working and listening to his latest joke or philosophical question about what wild animal you want as a pet or something isnt the most pressing issue in the world. 

Fortunately we both have understanding employers and can make things work.  

😀 It’s tricky isn’t it? I think having understanding employers is key. My Wife is doing a Childcare course so hopefully they’ll realise she’s going to be distracted at times. How old is yours? Our youngest is 3 and will OG off and entertain himself but only when he feels like it, not necessarily when it suits anyone else.

I’m not entirely sure that cases were falling in London:

 

[steviewevie]

I mocked this policy at the time...but looks like something this country very much needs now...

I thought I was coming down with Covid but, no, I was just feeling sick listening to his whiny, waffly, twattish voice.

Not all of us! But yes I think that might have had something to do with it, but tier 4 having an effect too.

Was just doing a bit of work for some reason. Is anything actually being said, or is it just the usual drivelly bollocks?
