wiggy Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I understand that people may believe that lockdowns aren’t the “right” thing to do, but there are some people who continue to argue that the lockdowns haven’t helped control the virus. This would seem to suggest otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does hint at tier 4 possibly starting to work. The number of positive, daily tests clearly increased afterwards and is now coming down too. Different methodology; slightly different results. The main concern has to be those admitted to hospital for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naievity of statistics or useful for Govt propaganda to frighten public who aren't behaving. The new variant is concentrated in London with much higher ratio of BAME in population. Already proven there is higher mortality rate in those ethnicities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That graph wouldn't look as pretty if it was put next to a month by month graph of UK total active cases or a graph of UK total deaths from Coronavirus (again,month by month). Also the last 3 days figures have risen every day to 40,000 new cases on Friday. Edited January 23, 2021 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOWTUN BAKED Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Been to Huddersfield hospital today. Nurse says ICU has 14 beds out of 16 currently in use & they've opened 2 Wards now for Covid which are at 95% occupancy, so looking to open a 3rd ward. She said that the new South African variant has had a higher mortality rate & the new Brazilian variant is supposed to be worse still. They've had their first vaccination but their 2nd vaccination has been put back as the government want to get the high risk people through on their 1st vaccination first. Also been warned that the vaccination should work with the South African variant but they don't think it will work on the Brazil variant & they're expecting this thing to carry on for at least another 12-18 months!

Not a great deal I don't think. Presumably fewer businesses etc can open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L/H White Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 When do we think we'll start entering back into the tier system? Think everyone is well aware they'll still be a tier system for the next 12 month or so April/May? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, at the rate they're going, they may well be able to reduce the interval and still do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
