How do you enforce it

anyone who challenges will get blasted with abuse 

Actually had a lovely day, central town was much quieter than round here. My mate who lives in zone one and cycles a lot says it’s like this until you get further out.

We spent the day in Kings Cross, it was great but so strange with the lack of people; we’re a long way from normality.

whats the day by day v last week, our Peely?

I can't find any published data that shows the breakdown of cases in care homes  - I've read a few articles that state the govmt don't want to publish the data. I also don't know how many folk die on average per week in care homes usualy, so the large % of covid deaths in care homes may actually be similar to the amount of natural deaths.

The ONS have stated that from their random antibody test results, the downward trend in new cases is now flat, it's not going down or up substantially.

Removing restrictions, ignoring the social distancing, protests etc,  is going to make the case numbers go up, I've no doubt at all that we will see rises sometime in July and Aug, by how much is anyone's guess, but most think it will be a slower rise than we experienced at the beginning, which should enable us to slow it down regionally or by reintoducing restrictions when required. 

There's rising cases now in 30 European countries and obviously several US states.

10m antibody test results are showing 5% of the UK has had the disease, 3.3 million, some think its a bit higher, nearer 5 million. It's about 15% in London and 7-9% in the NW. Reagrdelss we are still at the begining of the pandemic, theres 60 odd million folk in the UK that havent been infected yet.

The good news is that an indepth test in Austria (with the highst % of seroprevalnce ever shown in a study - which suggests it's as accurate as we have had so far) has shown that  85% of those who have the infection have no symptoms, or very mild symptoms, like a cold.  They're tring to work out what makes the 85% not get ill.

Treatment is getting better in the hospitals for the 5% that get seriously ill - a smaller % are dying.

Vaccine trials are under way in Human populations, but not expected to be available for another year yet.

UK week v week stats are available here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/slides-and-datasets-on-coronavirus-26-june-2020    it's the spreadsheet that shows the details.

7 day rolling average deaths has flattened this week too -  last 4 days are

122  

118

119

121

 

to give you an Idea, two weeks ago it was

218

202

198

176

 

So in summary - all the data I'm looking at makes me think we've had the lull in the last month or so, infections aren't going to drop susbatntialy for now, we'll see small rises soon, which may get worse depending on how we act and what the govmt do. School holiday will probably help a bit too hopefully.

So they can blame the government when all the neglect And mistreatment claims come in from the families after the staff have been doing tik tok videos rather than changing shitty nappies and looking after folk. Heard it here first 

nhs can’t be far behind with all the people denied cancer treatments etc. my mums scans and appointments get cancelled weekly because of “covid”. Place is fucking empty. You can hear the sound of the saline drips it’s that’s quiet.
