Wouldn't mind betting that hospitality  accounts for less than 5% of covid cases

Spoke to my brother in Portabello yesterday, i assumed from your posts he like you would be in tier 2, but he seemed to think he was on tier 3 but said a mile down the road is 2

Yep he’s in 3 mate. It’s a joke really

Not sure it’s that low but people visiting other households are a much bigger spreader. It’s easier controlling the spread by closing hospitality though and it’s proved to be working. At a cost though. 

[Escobarp]

It’s household visits and schools that are the issue. We have no ability to stop household visits and schools just simply must stay open. Hospitality is the scapegoat sadly

Think it's generally accepted the bottom bull sent Bolton into its own lockdown?

Shite that other areas of Bolton had to follow suit mind

Upmarket estate 😂😂😂 journalistic licence at its best that. My mate lives there. He’s a drug dealer and not a very good one either as most goes up his beak. 

Aye. Upmarket in StaleyVegas means they don’t have a disused sofa on the front lawn

Cases have been coming down fairly sharply in Tier 3 areas, and the current national lockdown. What's closed that's accounting for the other 95%?

Er nothing. Like someone said earlier, hospitality has become the sacrificial lamb so that other places can remain open.

I think it’s established really that comparing countries with smaller (and more obedient) populations isn’t really a fair barometer.

Seems most Swiss have taken it upon themselves to “behave”:

I’d have thought the ban on mixing with others inside is the main one that’s bringing the R number down

You can compare countries when it backs up your point of view

Didn’t they have a lockdown not far off the Wuhan model?

Just mixing in general.

I know many don’t agree, but something has to give somewhere.

Said from the start that I’d rather pubs close than schools. Don’t like it, but I value my kids education and mental wellbeing above a pint.

We cannot even compare areas within countries as we have seen with the tiering system. The north and south of England are clearly different.

But you couldn't do that, if closing hospitality had next to no impact on transmission, which is what you were suggesting.

They needed to find out what could bring the R under one, while keeping schools and (most) workplaces open. Closing hospitality, shops and banning household mixing has clearly worked in doiing that.

I reckon it's closer to 7.8%, or possibly 11.6% of cases.....at a stretch 14.2%

It's all going to end in tiers.

think it was as strict as they come without welding doors shut

that combined with a general "fuck it whatever" laid-back and relaxed attitude to life got them through it

Wales' circuit breaker seems to have not broken the circuit.

seen that, so they're going to try another one I think 😀

[Escobarp]

Sure our resident expert was lauding the Welsh lockdown success the other day? Although he was also bigging up a Scottish lockdown that never actually happened. 🤣
