Going to be the biggest death figures for quite some time this evening as the new year backlog clears. None the less, 4 figure counts are horrific.

Boris on at 8pm. Bound to be good news.

I would think we get announcement from Boris in the next 48 hours closing schools and probably putting the whol3 country into tier 4. It seems most primaries by me have decided not to open this week.

We have completely bossed the last half hour and could have scored a couple more. Excellent first half.

The worrying bit of that is the R rate of the new strain during the recent 'lockdown' was 1.45. I'm sure that will have in part been driven by schools remaining open so hopefully having them shut recently will bring that figure down to some extent. If we are going to regain any sort of control...

981 deaths is down to the lag in reporting over Xmas. We went from 700 odd a day in the days before Xmas, then 3-400 for 4 days and now we are catching up. Expect tomorrow to be higher again. Scotland were giving 40 odd deaths a day before Xmas and have announced less than 50 in total for the...

It's midnight tonight although I'm in tier 3 now from 2 so nothing much changes for me.

AstraZeneca are saying they should be able to build up manufacturing capacity to 3 billion doses in 2021.

Boris press conference at 5. I see we will be able to administer around 2 million vaccines a week from Monday, the end is very much in sight.

It wouldn't surprise me if Boris is wheeled out to announce the latest nationwide lockdown tomorrow. The backlog of death registrations will start showing in the figures later on today and I think those numbers over the next couple of days are going to be shocking.

I thought the same when I read that report. Having lived half of my life in Wales I know local has a slightly different meaning in such sparsely populated areas but an hour away, ffs. Complete idiot.

Lower down into the non leagues looks a right mess. Even without another lockdown it's hard to see how some teams are going to get all their games in. Some teams have played 5 or 6 games and it seems pretty much everything this weekend is cancelled.

Russia have upped their death count from 55,000 to 180,000. I'm not sure how they could have got the figures so wrong for so long whilst seemingly holding the correct information.

That's the sharpest we've been for a little while, some good play going foward.

Is that how many new cases they think we have over a week - in which case just over 100,000 a day - or is it how many people are infected with it right now, which would be hard to calculate because some people may have had it longer than a week.

Same for my wife, I lost count of the amount of miscarriages. We gave up hope after 15 years and then suddenly it happened. Hopefully you guys won't have to wait as long but keep the Faith!

39. When she's old enough to go to school i'll be assumed to be Great Grandad when I go to pick her up.

39,237 cases and 744 deaths.

Today's death count has one from July included. No idea how that works but there you go.

A few hours ago the BBC posted a story about how deaths were going down. The current death count trend is something that seems to be bucking the experts opinion - that there's a 2 or 3 week lag between cases and deaths. 3 weeks ago were about to leave lockdown and cases were half what we are now...
