I saw they let the BBC into UCL wards. I’m glad they’re relaxing Those rules.
Surely heads need to roll for the whole Tier 2 thing? Somebody thought it was a good idea to let everybody do what they wanted.
Having used curfew etc. to get new infection numbers down here we've now got the inevitable Xmas "rules relaxation" spike as new infections apparently up over 300% over last few days.
It was common sense when they did it that it was madness, hindsight wasn't needed.
It was a borderline call but like with everything covid related, it looks worse with hindsight (and probably wouldn’t have been such an issue without new variant)
London in tougher Tier 2 coronavirus restrictions when lockdown ends
London escaped the toughest Covid-19 restrictions today with cases now falling in more than two-thirds of boroughs, according to official figures.www.google.co.uk
I’m not saying this to defend the government but more the fact that I remember thinking at the time, if Birmingham could just get down to a transmission rate of 150 per 100k we could move to T2 after national lockdown ! People were saying the same about Manchester as well (pushing for T2)
The combo of the new variant plus Xmas indoor household mixing (winter weather) has well and truly fucked us. Could certain decisions have been made a 3-4 days earlier, probably, would it have made a huge difference with all the Xmas mixing, I don’t know but doubt it.
Quicker and harder you do it, the less time you have to do it for, however.Not surprised unfortunately Tisza. For some reason people seem to think you can suppress transmission and it stays suppressed. Only way you can currently control it, especially in winter is by locking down and staying locked down (unless you can irradiate and keep out of country - NZ), and the more you do that, the more you fuck people’s lives up in different ways. It’s a massive balancing act for everyone at the moment
it was an awful decision at the time
if they wanted to treat the whole of london as one entity at the time the stats said london should of been in tier 3

Yes, it'll always come back, but you have to move quickly when it's increasing and / or suppress it properly before opening up again. We fail on both, so we end up in this never-ending dripping tap effect.
you’ll love this Shmmeee, brilliant satire!!! Or is it.Nationalism rots your brain
It's all tightly controlled from the centre. I believe NHS Trusts are under a command and control from central gov, I think anything that goes out needs to be approved. Everything is about trying to reduce embarrassment for the government. I watched Chernobyl over Christmas, lots of themes in their chime with what's happening currently.

Isn’t it depressing how after yesterday’s events in America, today all the populists and contrarians are back to peddling nonsense, or allowing it to be peddled, to cover their own arse?
Having failed to deliver internet and devices to all households, the government has instead reclassified the ‘vulnerable’ definition to include those without devices so they can go into school. Cheeky bastards
As somebody said, covid disproportionately affects the poorest, and it's built into government policy to be that way.
Subsequently filling up the school classes that are still there up to their previous capacity.Having failed to deliver internet and devices to all households, the government has instead reclassified the ‘vulnerable’ definition to include those without devices so they can go into school.

Yep unfortunately deaths will continue rising in the short term.
Until 2 weeks after 25th December? Actually that's tomorrow.

They're publishing the vaccination figures nowWe're on a (supposedly) proper lockdown now. That should start to bring cases and deaths down in the next few weeks. What I want to see is vaccination figures, light at the end of the tunnel. Millions a week.
Can you link me please?They're publishing the vaccination figures now
