35,928 new cases

Also why is everyone jumping on the 70% figure when the scientists behind said it is likely to be not correct as they didn't look at the pillar data?


The figure of 0.40 on to the rate is far more accurate.

He has to think really hard when asked a question as to his to answer. He reminds me of Percy in Blackadder 2

Numerous countries now (temporarily) banning travel from the UK, including some haulage. That's this week, Brexit next. What an utter disaster.

Yes, Dover closed to outbound traffic for 48 hrs, if it is a cover for tougher restrictions it's backfiring monumentally, bbc reporting freight drivers are reluctant to come the other way in case they get stranded.

wonder if that will have any affect on vaccine imports? Utter disaster is right though. When are people in this country going to wise up?

Forgot to paste again. And it was Monday.

Over 1,000 cases of a new coronavirus variant found in England, minister says

Over 1,000 cases of a new coronavirus variant have been identified in the past few days in England, predominantly in the south of the country where it could be connected to a surge in cases, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said on Monday.

None of them, they're so far out of their depth they're even admitting they don't have control. Just focus on getting the vaccines out to as many people as possible in the shortest time.

Seems the EU can restrict travel with us pretty effectively. Shame we weren't so decisive earlier.

I did my Xmas shop yesterday at Aldi as I normally do on a Sunday. It was noticeably quiet. Expect Tuesday/Wednesday to be crazy.

Morrison's and M&S by me were insanely busy - the queue for M&S was round the car park. Was laughing at all the nutters queuing up and not waiting for a quieter time.

Who's laughing now!

Some countries have blocked us some haven't..
It's almost as if they're acting as independent sovereign states despite being part of a large trading block!!

I see just to cheer us up, a decision on a trade deal will be reached before Christmas. Just combine the coronavirus and Brexit threads, double down on the misery!

Bit ironic. EU threatened Hungary when it tried to close its borders during 1st outbreak.
Had to settle for limited entry only and quarantining.

I tried to stop at the M&S food hall on the way into work this morning to pick up some butties for me dinner, only to be told you need to pre-book a slot now.....You can't just turn up & join a queue!

.....so a full english breakfast from the local cafe will just have to suffice
