I wonder if they can do psychic readings over Zoom?

Given that it's all made up I'd say yes.

Falling Covid 'R' rate puts Boris Johnson under pressure to curb lockdown

Data from King's app, which has been tracking symptoms and results since first wave, shows slight fall in new cases in England

Slightly good news ahead of the lockdown. Pointless suggesting they should cancel it because of the rate being 1 though

Great news if it continues, potentially shortens lockdown

If the month is spent getting everything in order in terms of the testing and the track and trace side then regardless of the R number throughout the 4 weeks, keep the mini lockdown in place.

Obviously I am probably getting away that the current mob have the ability to do that properly and avoid pushing £ notes into their mates pockets

School safety is the latest outsourcing scandal. I feel a creeping despair | George Monbiot

Infection is raging among older pupils, classrooms are packed and test and trace is useless. Another catastrophe is looming, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

She is another old cow but she is technically correct. Labour have been beaten by May and Boris and missed plenty of opportunities to get their shit together since 2016 and have failed to until now and even now appear a little shaky. I would take her advice, come back stronger and thrash them at the next election and if she keeps her seat make a point of referring to her arrogant speech by ramming it down her throat.

Well that's my pub closed for another few weeks, hopefully back open in December

 

[Parkins left foot]

Going up to the British Legion club tonight for the last time for a bit with friends - bonus of cheap beer as otherwise they are going to have to pour it down the drain.

Went up and saw my son's at the weekend so that's it for the next month at the least.

feels odd to "like" your post B3h, so I am going to say thanks for sharing the info instead.

That feels like quite a high death rate. However the ITU cases seem lower, which has to be a positive I guess?

 

[Sniffer]

25k cases today and sadly 492 deaths.

 

[AndyWolves]

Deaths are going to keep rising for the next 2-3 weeks as they catch up with the infections.

i don't like it but i don't see how we can do anything other than lockdown

 

[Kenny]

So lockdown approved my MP's.

Although 32 Tories voted against it and Ms T May abstained

Wasn't ever going to go any other way once Labour decided to back it (though couldn't do anything else seeing as how Starmer was calling for it 2 weeks ago)

 

[Tredman]

Proper quiet on the roads this morning, managed to do a whole 10 miles on the bike without a near death incident.

 

[Aikiwolf]

Almost zero difference in the traffic around me, loads of traffic whilst I was out running.
