She's incredibly good at getting high paying jobs she is uniquely under-qualified for - quite a skill.

So. Three tier system looks likely. What we are enjoying in Wolvo at the moment seems to be roughly tier two restrictions. According to the leaked documents the cut off for moving from tier one (rule of six and pubs shutting at 10pm) and tier two (the above plus no household mixing in the home or garden) appears to be 100 cases per 100k of population. The current rate in Wolverhampton is 70 per 100k. So our extra restrictions should be immediately relaxed. Bet they won’t be though.

Lolz, we are at 107 in Stafford I think. No restrictions though.

I'm not going to pay a blind bit of notice, if they think I'm sacrificing everything I've gone through when I know there's as good as no risk then they can think again.

Fuck it, you can't prove I don't live with my missus unless you're asking us to provide ID at every single venue, which is cloud cuckoo land.

Hospitality infections in Birmingham are estimated at around 2% of cases. It's. Fucking. Care. Homes. Again.

Sorry if it sounds very callous, but I am not putting my entire life on hold and my precarious at best mental health at risk purely to protect very old, already sick people that I don't know. It's not happening.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Same. No way am I missing out on the birth of my first grandchild and any precious time I will get with the baby before I move to the other side of the world.

17540 new cases and over a thousand more people in hospital than a week ago.

The horse bolted a few weeks ago.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Should never have opened the Universities.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Or told people to go back to the office or you'll be sacked.

Fucking boneheaded stuff.

 

[Sniffer]

A party weekend to follow too as it looks like any new announcements will be delayed until next week.

We don't need the daily briefings though. The figures that Witty and Vallance were showing a couple of weeks ago are looking dangerously accurate.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The 14,952 cases in England by region

North West +4,448
Yorkshire and The Humber +2,347
North East +1,274
London +1,252
East Midlands +1,853
West Midlands +1,098
South East +991
East of England +807
South West +768

None of these figures are good per se, but can you stop having us locked down please given we're 6th out of 9 areas (and most of the infections aren't even anywhere fucking near Wolverhampton)?

Those regions are too large to be meaningful. East Midlands for instance is driven by Nottingham. Derby is 66 per 100k

 

[Keef]

London probably due to everyone having left and gone to their 2nd homes

Think I had similar for Bolsover when I check the other day too.

Does show the possible impact of Universities returning though. Nottingham seemed to fair far better than the rest of the major East Mids cities through majority of the pandemic this far but I'd hazard it's University population is the greatest and now they're floundering.

 

[Sniffer]

London might be low due to how rampant it was there in the first wave.

Absolutely agree with that, Hambleton (which covers both myself and Darlo) is 14.1 cases per day. That's a huge difference to the 2347 new cases reported for North Yorkshire And the Humber, which is a huge area and covers places as disperse as Hull (population 259, 778) and Muker (population 249).

I would imagine the region concept is there to capture people’s movements though - smaller villages and towns tend to have a lot of people commuting to the cities.

Burton is technically in the West Midlands, but a lot more likely to have people from Derby working there and vice versa than Nottingham

Got to draw a line somewhere though.

I know, I think the council areas used for lockdown make the most sense which I appreciate has its own imperfections, I live in Derby but South Derbyshire is a minute walk away.
