Last Saturday 1295

Deaths 128

Today 898

Deaths 100

coming down

Someone shared with me what happened in the plague at Eyam and the second wave. They are writing a book. The population was 350-800 or so

Sep 1665- 6
Oct - 23
Nov - 5
Dec - 8
Jan 1666 - 4
Feb 5

2 in March, 7 in April and 2 in May and then 29 days with no one to return

June- 21
July -56
August - 78
September - 14
October - 18

then all over in November after 1 more death

Summer heat and carried by fleas rather than human to human

some people were the only person left in their house and had immunity linked with delta 52 which also gives immunity to HIV

Crazy stuff isn’t it?

249 of the village died

Amazing they decided to lockdown the village not to spread it

I'm not sure how our infection levels compare with US states as they released lockdown but this is grim

Edit. We're at 15.88 cases per million apparently on a rolling 7 day average, similar to France and the Netherlands.

Just comparing the U.K. breakdown by country and it looks to me like England is the country that is slowing the drops in numbers. Both Northern Ireland and Scotland doing really well, Wales better than England and now we have this situation where Leicester is looking like it may have to have a local lockdown. You can only take that as a measure of how badly Boris and Co fucked this up when it’s the devolved governments that are getting a grip on this. Boris hasn’t come close.

Both mine were back in from last week (5 and 8). Neither had their regular teacher but it pepped them both right up, they were clearly much happier for going. I hope you find it the same with yours.

He said it had left him "angry and frustrated", adding that a meeting due to take place this morning between him, the council's director of public health Ivan Browne and Whitehall officials to discuss a local surge in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks, had been cancelled.

To be honest the city hasn’t been decontaminated in 8 years if anything a 2 week extension is nowhere near enough.

Reckon some might pile over here to the pubs in Cov and to other surrounding towns and cities if their pubs aren't open?

Is it just the city of Leicester or all LE postcodes that is locked down?

I live in an LE postcode but live closer to Coventry city centre than leicester city centre.

Just thought the same. It will be pubs the outskirts. Where will the 'border' be. Hinckley, Earl Shilton, villages. Suspect landlords will face a dilemma.

Can see it being messy if not policed.

Block the roads off, like 28 days later.

I do hope the imposition of quarantine on visitors from the US is not relaxed.

The amount of Americans raging about the sheer horror of wearing a mask that might help prevent the spread of a deadly virus is so bizarre. Are they cutting up the seatbelts on their pickup trucks to own the libs too? Fucking morons.

The most shouty anti-mask protesters also all appear to be clinically obese.....maybe a link there? :emoji_hotdog::emoji_cake::emoji_pizza::emoji_popcorn::emoji_hotdog::emoji_cake::emoji_hamburger:

She has a point though. No Covid deaths in 3 days for Scotland and at one point there rate was worse than England. It’s all pointing to Boris taking us out of lockdown too early.

England is over 10 times the size population wise and has quite a few more large urban centres. She just wants any opportunity to put down her neighbour. Yep I know it’s salty.

Going to be very interesting to see what the pubs are like this weekend. Am I right in thinking they are not allowed to show any sport? Hopefully they can still maintain enough of a crowd to turn over some profits.

By that logic Scotland should have about a tenth of the deaths of England. It’s not just Scotland though, Northern Ireland had just one recorded death yesterday and Wales is doing better than England too. Face it, we’re the poorly man of the U.K. and the reason why the U.K. figures are being stubbornly slow in coming down. If the U.K. was a relay team it’s England that’s dropped the baton. The devolved governments have done considerably better by not following Boris and doing their own thing.

I don't know about the poor man of the UK, more like the poor man of the whole continent. You see the UK on the news here & its usually with a mixture of pity & bewilderment, especially after the non stop messages that we are "getting it right"- are people honestly so dense that they believe that?

You aren’t wrong, but a) I can’t stand Sturgeon and b) the other nations were pretty much in agreement with Boris at the beginning of the outbreak and only began deviating when he dropped the ‘stay at home’ message.

Did I mention I can’t stand her?

They used to go mental about 'communism' whenever medicaid was mentioned, they are the UK in a few years time. We saw the same sort of ridiculous attitudes at the election.
