and if Denmark, Germany, Norway, Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania,  all the countries closest to Sweden, get to Vaccine without 4 continuous months of deaths at roughly 10 times the rate of Sweden's over the same time period , he'll have a load of excess deaths on his hands, in some people's view.

Missus is a teacher.  She made the mistake of telling school she had a cough.  The school wouldn't let her come into work until she had a negative covid test.

Welcome to the real world where a days graft is given in return for money, a pension, lots of holidays and more human rights than you can shake a stick at.

Suck it up.

Not going to for a bit. I've just had an email from school saying there's multiple kids off awaiting test results, so potential for classes to be sent home for isolation in next few days. A load of them will just be headaches, sore throats,  coughs and temperatures from other stuff. Would be good if they could get the tests done and results back quicker. Mine took 4 days

It’ll be fascinating to see how it pans out

57500 Covid deaths in uk according to ONS , that is a hell of a jump from the 41600 reported before.

Made of stronger stuff.

To be fair , we had the numbers back in March. London is based on travel, on commuting - the joke being everyone is always 40 minutes away from each other. Commuter numbers just aren't there. Borough's like mine is now one of the lowest, after being the top five across the country for the first month or so. Everyone on my street is working at home or on furlough. Next door are film and TV editors, Office manager after that, two retirees, couple who run a gymnastic classes. No one is going anywhere. The news today is that traffic in the suburbs of London is much higher. That donut effect I think is really effecting London and transmission rates. For the real picture I'd look at borough by borough to see what is happening. The full lockdown really helped us though, rather than the half arsed measures.

Newham, as one of the poorest and diverse boroughs, trailed the app - first in London. Wonder if this helped as well? 

There was that work earlier that showed a lot more people in London had anti bodies.  No idea why they had anti bodies but was about 3 times higher from memory.

Found report but as NW was above average I might be talking bollocks.

The problem is that there are so many different things that give the symptoms but if the rule is if you have symptoms then stay off hard to blame teachers for following rules. 
Disparity could be caused by parents just being fucked off with having kids at home or the choice been school or grandparents.

That means more Londoners have had it, also when lockdown ended they had much lower death rate than NW for several weeks after, which suggests NW's got a larger pool of hosts for the virus to infect, and more of the virus circulating. If you were going to do the 1st lockdown agsin, but on a regional basis, NW would start and end a few weeks later than London.

Teachers will start dropping soon, it's been 2 weeks and we're all shattered, back to work full time after a huge gap, kids haven't had a routine for months, having to change the way we teach and work. Managed to cover about 24k steps yesterday.. I averaged about 10-12 before lockdown

 

Sounds like you need (another) 6 weeks holiday.

It’s not so much the music choice that would annoy me, it would be having noisy inconsiderate neighbours that would piss me right off.

Herd immunity in London, then?

Dropped grandson off at CNR this morning and it would seem parents didn’t know until they were arriving, they were being told the 3 affected years are now closed as they got to the school gate.

Nearer to it than us, but still miles off. Their cases have gone up 800% since June, yet the rise in resting is nowhere near that.

I must say, I find the lack of cases in London a bit mystifying.

I’m not having it that they’re behaving better than us down there.

Really strange

Exactly. Juggling the figures i reckon - there’s not a prayer Boris will put Lahndon back in lockdown.

[Escobarp]

Just driven past the lord Nelson in pendlebury. Certainly no Covid round there.  Couldn’t have been closer together in groups of 10+ sat outside in full view of the police van that’s just driven past. 
 

waste of time this. Let’s just crack on now 

[peelyfeet]

Patients in mechanical ventilation beds in Eng gone up from 63 to 101 in 4 days. 

Big Jump in the rate. This is a reflection of infections from about 2 weeks ago, so unfortunately I expect this number will grow for at least 2-3 weeks, until the effect of restrictions kick in, if they do.

We'd been wavering between 52 and 68 for the 5 weeks before.

Peak was 2,800 in April, so miles off that.

Let's not - let's start cracking fucking skulls of cunts who can't abide by the oh-so onerous restrictions of wearing a mask, washing hands, limiting your sphere to five other twats and not bumming someone whilst reaching for a packet of pasta.

I've been avoiding most updates on the whole thing but is there any concrete proof infection means future immunity?

Also despite being the wrong side of forty and occasional homages to George Best I'm in pretty good aerobic shape - I don't want to contract it and spend my remaining life wheezing through runs, bike rides, gym etc. like someone who's spent a lifetime on 60 Woodbines a day and subsisting solely on dripping butties and Trophy Bitter.

It's not mutating much, and the bits if of it that are mutating aren't the bits that make any difference to the effectiveness of a vaccine, so the thinking at the moment is, the vaccine will see it off, worldwide,  sometime next year hopefully, and if you catch it now, you should be pretty much immune for several years.

Let's hope so. In the meantime, he's right. No body deserves bumming whilst reaching for pasta.

Alreet.

My second point still stands.

These c*nts (Johnson and co.) will blame Covid for ANY future financial strife so...

I ain't scarifying my lungs and compromising my long-term health for any 'greater good' - so some tat peddlers and dubious service providers can carry on as normal 'protecting the economy' and so some parents don't have to actually spend time with their little fuckers. 😜
