Good news I suppose unless we need to stop the infections growing exponentially and the way to do that is to restrict connections outside of our households

Did he give anymore information as that seems at odds with most things I've read recently.
How are they even tracking it in schools? We know most infected kids aren't symptomatic and if you don't have symptoms you don't get a test. Add in that track and trace have been told not to follow up cases from educational environments makes me wonder what data they have.Coronavirus (COVID-19) Overview
COVID-19 is a new type of coronavirus that causes mild to severe cases. Here’s a quick guide on how to spot symptoms, risk factors, prevent spread of the disease, and find out what to do if you think you have it.www.webmd.com
Doesn't it also make a pretty strong case for closing 6th forms and universities? There was some data on this thread before the weekend showing that cases linked to educational establishments dwarfed places like pubs. If they're saying those aren't linked to U16s then surely you have to be looking at shut downs in over 16s education.
Where I live we have 3 conservative councillors as well as Street and they are all constantly claiming to be against things that are unpopular locally that are the policy of the Conservative government. Makes you wonder if they're in the right party.At least he shows himself capable of free thought I suppose, and not just blindly following his party.
tbf it's more what government should be, general support, but willing to hold your own party / government to account if you differ too much. Always used to work that way...Where I live we have 3 conservative councillors as well as Street and they are all constantly claiming to be against things that are unpopular locally that are the policy of the Conservative government.

In fairness could also be based on rate of change. Any idea what that is for those two areas? Of course it’s just as likely to be guesswork so don’t put yourself out.Sandwell is tier 2 with 123 cases per 100k and we are tier 1 with 130 cases per 100k?
What are they actually basing this on?
Going to go out on a limb and guess that they will never say what numbers get you in or out of each tier and eventually the system will just be replaced with another arbitrary set of rules in a few months designed to deflect whatever criticism they are facing at the time.
I think that’s quite likely because these restrictions won’t stop increasing infectionsNational lockdown by Christmas because they don’t want to spend any more money or curb freedoms further.
Let’s get crowds backSandwell

Brilliant. Just multiply cases per 1000 by rate of change and define a limit for each tier. This should have been worked out and put in place during the first lockdown, it’s fucking basic stuff.
Never gonna end is it this shit?
Anyone know why Newcastle upon Tyne isn't in Tier 3 but Liverpool is yet? I imagine there might be a reason, but obviously with our current decision makers, I'm not sure?!
Exactly.Yeah, what happened to the alert levels of a few months ago? Why have we got such a pathetic client media who just amplify this nonsense?
They always use rate of change as a get out if a journalist asks why one area has certain restrictions but as pointed out it clearly isn’t.They hinted that rate of change was part of the consideration in designating tiers but it clearly isn't. Cases alone is a retrospective measure
I mean, I'm not denying the truth in this...Tories hate Scousers
Didn't they quickly break their own system and start removing restrictions when we were still in a level where they should remain in place? Seem to remember they got quietly dropped and never mentioned again after that.Yeah, what happened to the alert levels of a few months ago?

Exactly.

That’s true but part of the reason they are putting their foot down is because there isn’t enough support available for the businesses closing.To be serious for a minute, Boris did seem to say in the HoC that he wanted more areas to be Tier 3 but the local leaders were putting their foot down
So they are claiming they own the factories..? FfsNot really, Medpro's template website: https://ppemedpro.com/about/
This is an obvious scam. I am an NHS buyer, I can see it.

How about inviting only one Sunderland MP, and being surprised there were actually three?I do like the one were they seemingly didn't know Wigan was in Greater Manchester
