This morning they said the R in London was well over 2. (2.86?) I reckon we've got a couple of weeks or so to demonstrate that tier 3 is starting to show a slowing in infection up here, and whatever tiers are being used down there to do similar.

The restrictions are bollocks. This is not a lockdown of any sort. Spoke to a customer in Bradford today and he said “I don’t drink, I don’t go in pubs, this tier 3 makes non difference to my life whatsoever” Hard to disagree. Just shutting pubs does fuck all. Either go big and do what we did in March or just accept that we won’t keep it from spreading everywhere by xmas

Whilst I disagree with the Govts current strategy, it is, I think, a valid attempt at a middle way, trying to keep businesses open at the same time looking to supress infections. It really would be balmy to lockdown the economy in areas of low infection, so it must be otherwise motivated. The scientists and WHO aren't saying lockdown, but, it seems the media are. Weird.

It developed in an outbreak on a farm in Spain, and essentially became Europe's predominant one. No more or less infectious or dangerous than other strains though.

Either let it do its thing and channel all the money at the NHS, or weld everyone’s door shut. This dithering doesn’t work. No reason why it shouldn't work in keeping the virus to a manageable level. Obviously, with more places open, you'll get some cases. However just seeing anecdotes on here, its clear that much isn't being adhered to. I've noticed that giving false information to t&t or not isolating as required is to become a criminal offence in Wales. Must admit, I'd assumed it already was everywhere! Its not just here though- civil disobedience is France for example because they don't want a lockdown. Like a Quatermass story.

Saying this to Mrs Swanny last night, there's a chance when I felt drained about 2 weeks ago I could have caught it again, although I didn't have any symptoms aside from aching all over.

Aye granted it's better to have them armed and ready, I do remember reading years ago that natural created antibodies are more effective than vaccines? Over 1 million confirmed cases now, so there will be plenty who have it, that's not including all the ones who have not been tested and asymptomatic,
