Coronavirus

Spoke to a few people today business-wise.

To a man , they’re basically acting like the vaccine landed a month ago and are treating the good news as a green light to crack on as normal.

I hope to god these vaccines get approved.

Theyre a set of cunts

London and the south east will get kid gloves

The north needs to remember this

They wont publish a formula, imo

Sadly, I tend to agree, so much so I’m making my own decisions and using my own common sense, rather than follow their instructions to the letter of the law.

Nah, too parochial that.

The North (and parts of the Midlands) and the red wall were and will be key at the next election. 

We'll all be treated according to the virus levels; too low in some areas could see rapid growth and more accusations of poor management.

I believe the r number in the North West is the lowest in the country

Could somebody please check?

Hope so, and I hope it’s targeted, not just north west or even Lancashire.

If they publish the thought process, then we can decide if the tier we get is reasonable

Maybe its cos I've no older relatives to protect but all I'm happy doing is carrying on being sensible

I wear a mask all the time and there's nowhere to go anyway...other than work

Wife and daughter have, however, had their fill of this

Maybe its cos they've worked all the way through

Cheers

Tier 1 for us, then

Despite the mass testing in Liverpool...do we know how many walk ups they've actually had?

[Mounts Kipper]

If we’re tier 3 won’t legally be able to travel so hoping for less than tier 3 Will need a pcr test just before Xmas, looking for cheapest option locally if anyone can advise.

If it gets targeted to towns within an area we’re screwed anyway. Imagine Bolton got selected for shutdown and Bury were relaxed into the next tier down. Do you think Bolton piss-pots could resist a trip 6 or 7 miles East for a beer? I don’t.

What difference does it make if it’s deemed reasonable or not by joe public? If it’s not then it’s fair game and do as folk please?

It's based on the five factors mentioned in this article:

what did folk generally do when Bolton was in lockdown? 

i know some places like Atherton / Adlington told BLers to fuck off

[MickyD]

I reckon I could persuade a Bury-friend; son’s girlfriend, for instance, to provide a proof of address.

Wigan for me + i know a few others who did the same, although a week or two later Wigan went into the same restrictions as Bolton.

We’ve just gone to Scottish their 2 so pubs open from 6am.  We’ve been told to bring id to the pub as in driving licence etc to prove where we live. Seems simplest way.

Just can’t see them putting London in 3.

Standard reckon its Tier 2, 'business leaders' ie tory donors will kick off if its tier 3.

Saw a figure of over 200,000

I expect they put a sign on the pavement outside offering free pills

any pub taking it seriously wouldn't accept something like a utility bill

modern driving licence (i.e. card with photo and address) or nothing would make sense

I know a few ventured over the bridge into LH. After an hour they decided lockdown was the better option and returned to their slums
