After the 5 day relaxation is my guess. Imagine announcing it now, any semblance of common sense over Xmas will go out the window for a sizeable minority.

That includes the Welsh backlog - ordinarily they would have been announcing 2000 or so cases, but announced 11,500 so the real UK figure is around 26,000.

18,038 people in hospital in the UK with COVID right now - I can only find 7 day averages but that's more than when lockdown 2 happened and seems to be at it's highest since mid April.

5 days I think, the last set of figures inputted with no issue were last Friday's given on Saturday. It looks like their true case rate is between 2500 and 3000 a day which for a country their size is pretty grim and this off the back of high figures for months on end on areas such as Merthyr...

Yes, doesn't look good down there and Wales Public Health have announed they will be reporting a backlog of around 11,000 cases tomorrow so I reckon South Wales is in massive trouble too.

25,161 cases today. 612 deaths. Only includes about 500 Welsh cases as their new reporting system isn't working properly. There's potentially been an under report of around 2,000 cases due to those issues since the weekend.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-55280321 An interesting piece about a test and trace worker. I did think about applying to do it myself but I think I would be sacked off within the hour, assuming I woul be able to get hold of someone to speak to in that time.

What's gone wrong in Germany? Over 800 dead today. 333 was their highest during the first wave and they had less than 800 total throughout June, July, August, September and October combined.

Wouldn't that have been similar to what Wales did? Their figures are attrocious and might hint at what's to come for us in the next couple of weeks. I think the problem we have is our idea of lockdown is nothing of the sort. Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M - All essential and continuted to trade...

They are talking percentage growth rather than number growth.

That's what I like to hear, everyone's safety is the most important thing. There will be a lot of people wishing they could turn the clock back come January. My grandparents are 90 and 95 and have yet to see my 1 year old Daughter. Due to other circumstances they were unable to meet before...

Some people are going to spread COVID around the dinner table at Xmas and then come January some people are going to die. The risk is small but the risk is there and nobody can say they didn't know or didn't understand. As hard as it is the best thing to do is shield the elderly and vulnerable...

Most of my lot live over in Wales these days, luckily the northern bit so cases are relatively low. My grandparents and parents are being quite sensible and giving Xmas a swerve this year which i'm glad about. I don't have to clean the house either, lovely. They reckon there's lots of local...

I think we have conceded one goal from open play in 7 games? Fantastic turnaround in such a short period of time and with our first choice keeper injured.

Created very little in the first half, score 2 goals. Create more second half and score none. It's a funny (and heart attack enducing) game.

21,672 cases today, 424 deaths. 17.7% increase week on week case wise. We're not far off the figures being posted when we went into lockdown. Test rates up 7.3% but the growth in positives outstrips that. The R rate now seems to have crept up to 0.9 - 1. I wonder what state we will be in once...

I think he's a pretty good commentator and along with Oggy I quite enjoy the show. It's also nice that every so often he makes a massive gaff, it adds to the enjoyment, or is it confusion. Kind of like a small time Murray Walker.

The unhappiest man at the track tonight will be Albon. This is the sort of race where we should picking up the pieces and coming away with a win but he was nowhere. Perez should be given his seat. I'm sad for Russell but the issues were clearly not of his doing, he is a future world champion...

That's the biggest non fatal crash I have ever seen in F1 by a long way. I can't believe how the car split clean in half and I cannot believe Grosjean got out alive, let alone under his own steam.
