[Casino]

Oh look, lets stick liverpool in tier 5 as their cases are high

Course theyre high, youre offering tests to all, not just those with symptoms

Only 3 tiers on sky news? Tier 3 is basically lockdown so are you saying that north west is going into new tier 3? In which case Jesus that’s grim

I'd say it's a bit shit that a turkey dinner is being put above both health and the economy.

No fun having a 'normal' Christmas and then spending January in ICU, or see businesses closed again.

Fair point.

I did speak with a neighbour who said she's going to travel to see her son down south irrespective of lockdown. Others intimated similar.

Perhaps trying to ease things a little but still ask for some control. Maybe better then many fucking it off anyway. 

Don't know to be honest; suppose the answer is folk not taking the risk, and accepting things are different this year. Have a get together once the vaccine is flowing.

Give people an inch over xmas they will take a mile.

Christmas already turns people in raving lunatics as it is.

I think the Government are well aware of this and it’s just an arse covering exercise. Plus they’ll think allowing restaurants to open on Xmas Day at £60 a head might bring a smidge of goodwill from the hospitality industry.

Agree with the 2nd sentence 

Problem is that if there’s v strict rules folk will treat it as if there are none - ie if breaking it will go all the way 

Whereas if there’s moderate ruling I think more are likely to stick to it

Often the way with human behaviour. It’s the reason fad diets etc don’t work 

Anyway I think this Govt are utterly inept and massive shithouses but they can’t win on this one

Doesn't mention restaurants

 

I'd hope for the same as last time

Today’s numbers have extra deaths in due to a reporting error. But infections are seeming to be dropping on week on week basis.

Leverhulme test centre was very busy earlier today. Maybe just a particular moment, but cars queueing both ways to turn in.

@royal white

re the question you asked the other day

Not a direct answer on suicides but some stats re mental health

Good account to follow this guy for data

They allocate a time slot, do say for example 11-12, they'll tell people to get there for 11. 

 

So near the start of a time slot it gets busy. That happened to us, took me about 20 mins to do my lads and it was really quiet by the time I'd done my own.  We were there about 25 mins in total

Mass testing in Bolton sounds like a mass spreading event with the great unwashed

Mass testing sounds like a way of sticking us in tier 10!

[Boby Brno]

Bolton now down to 42 in the National rankings of cases. All North West is also down. Hopefully, Tier 2 at worst on 2nd Dec.

[Winchester White]

Been to the test centre 3 times, each time I got there 10 minutes early for the hour slot and shot through in under 10 mins.

Be high as a load of people caught it at Bolton hospital last week, most of who were already vulnerable:(

I’m guessing that it will be regions that are allocated a tier rating. This is the latest infection ratings by region. The North West was top for many weeks. The regional restrictions that affected the NW the most have obviously worked.
