    And hospitals with more covid patients than at any point in the pandemic so far.

    **** you, Boris.
    **** you, Tories.
    Proper action required and fast.

    Just goes to show what effect the relaxation of the " rules" can bring. Thank God
    Boris didn't insist on the original five day holiday decision and listened to the experts.

    The man and his team ( I loathe Patel), are an unmitigated disaster and when the
    Public enquiry finally delivers its verdict, heads MUST roll re- Hancock, Johnson,
    Patel , Liver lips Gove and Williamson et al.

    So what proper action do you want, what will those measures do?

    It'll be another couple of weeks or so before we see the Xmas effect. For me, the real problem is that they tried to protect London and the South East from tier 3 restrictions. The only way London could move from tier 2 to tier 4 in the space of a week is if the government stuck its head in the sand.

    He had better not put everywhere under the same restrictions. Kirklees is doing well....

    https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/healthcare?areaType=nhstrust&areaName=Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust

    Hospital admissions low, covid patients well under 100 and just 4 on ventilators for a population between Calderdale and Kirklees of around 700000 people. 22204 tests in the past 24 hours for just 133 positive cases. I can see more of the south put in tier 4 tomorrow but leave the north alone.

    Schools need to not go back after Christmas. Home learning. Close down all non-essential business and extend business help to cover losses resulting from that. Expired stock etc. The only people that should be going to work are those that work in essential retail, healthcare, food production etc. If I was in charge I’d also introduce UBI but I don’t think this government will do so.

    As for what that will do. It’s really simple. Less people interacting = less cases. Don’t try and say it doesn’t because it simply does. The virus transmits from person to person, stopping people interacting lowers infection rates. Less people having it means less people in hospital and less people dying. It also means there’s less chance of the virus mutating again.

    A proper lockdown like the one in march is the only thing that will work, half hearted kind of lock downs and tier systems won,t, Problem is Boris knows it will cost another fortune in furlogh payments, but its gotta be one or the other, we keep the economy going and accept these rises in cases or we lock down totally, there is no happy medium here..

    The state of limbo that they’ve put us in is far worse economically than a proper lockdown.

    Cases in football are going up quite sharply too. The Premier League are discussing a two week break from playing. Can’t imagine how they’d fit all the games in, if so, with the Euros happening in the summer.

    If it carries on at this rate there will be people in hospital corridors like there was last January and the January before and the January before etc.

    If I was a member of the Government I would be blaming the general public for not being careful enough...

    I think you should do a little research yourself on this matter and draw your own conclusions (not trying to sound condescending or imply anything with that statement), there's so much info about, both false and true, that it is a minefield. I would suggest looking up teh cyclist Fernando Gaviria and coronavirus and start from there.

    Come on now mate.

    You have to admit that the two aren't comparable. Eye witness accounts from doctors and nurses on the front line are really grim.

    Doctors in some trusts in London have been asked to cancel their annual leave, sounds like it’s getting bad down there
