Shows how ridiculous the tier 2 ruling was as they've practically gone from that to Tier 4.

If you're not supposed to travel into a Tier 4 area what the hell is Santa going to do?

If live in a tier 1 or 2 area you can still go to the pub but can't have your xmas bubble?

This is a clusterfuck

Just seen someone point out on twitter that they've known about the seriousness of this for a few days yet coincidentally have left it until they day after MPs left London for their Christmas break to announce travel restrictions.

Tier 4 is bollocks just like the last lockdown. The last lockdown didn't work, because unlike the first lockdown kids were in school, students were going to college and uni, and people were not working from home where they could and businesses were still open. The roads were just as busy as normal in the last lockdown.

And too many people did not follow them.

It was obvious when this new strain spread it in London and not the fact they kept it at tier 2 and let people do what they want.

Surely all new successful variants (of which there have been 100s) are more transmissable....that's kinda the point of any type of coronavirus...

Do tests show which strain it is as well? I thought it was just a yes or no.

If you choose to accept that 1000 cases compared to hundreds of thousands across 3 months is not a vehicle for deflection of resisting an October blockdown or Williamson's insistence ,then well.
No harm jmo Steve respectfully.

It reminds me of a time when I was on an empty M45 in a RWD drive car and heavy snow belting down. No winter tyres and traction ineffective

I could have driven at 70 mph but clearly did not. I had to make a decision on my own risk assessment

If people showed the same amount of common sense driving as they do with coronavirus then all motorized transport would be banned within about a week. The failure to educate the public on this, nine months into a pandemic, is fucking insane.

Wales to go into full lockdown from midnight.

Apart from Xmas day, COVID has confirmed it's taking the day off.

New strains happen all the time, there's already multiple strains of Covid-19 so try not to get too down about it. This sort of thing is expected and the vaccines shouldn't be impacted.

If you look back the strain that came out of Wuhan originally has pretty much gone now, think there was 8 major strains back in the summer so this is just one more on the list. Think they're over playing this as its a get out for not putting the right restrictions in place for Christmas.

Presumably yes as there's a website you can go on where all the data has been compiled and you can watch various strains become dominant and then fade away.
Here if anyone wants to take a look:

Nextstrain

Real-time tracking of pathogen evolution
nextstrain.org
There's also been research where they have traced back which country peoples infections originate from. That's why we've had news reports that the majority of infections this winter trace back to people who went abroad in the summer.

vaccination program under way so we're getting there though I don't think things will get back to normal for a long time, I think masks are here to stay for a start.

When Johnson was spouting this bollocks on Wednesday presumably he already knew about this new strain and the dangers of not locking down at Christmas.

Tests being done on the lethality of this new one will verify the theory on that side of things at least.

Why children need teaching the home schooling is a farce. The weather is traditionally worse in January so if they are off we don’t lose even more days for snow days.

Would you do your best to address the points I'm questioning recently here BSB?
How does 1000 become 70% of hundreds of thousands of case's to the previous one ?
Accross the same 3 month period.
