Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

[lane]

Government looking at introducing a Tier 4. If they hadn't let Sunak water down the original tier 3 proposals so much maybe they wouldn't have needed Tier 4. No doubt Sunak is already planning ways to water down any further tier 4 restrictions to ensure they are as ineffective as possible.

Eat out to help 2 - only available in Tier 4.

The gov have done the calculations, we have come full circle, the tier will be 3.14

It has taken so long to get Nottingham into Tier 3 that they have had two opportunities for people to enjoy a "last chance" night out. Last weekend and now last night when large groups went out. I can't think this really helps.

A tier 4 area will be πr^2

Rumor has it that tier 4 will involve the imposition of restrictions that actually worked in Leicester when it was the first area to have restrictions, which would seem to make sense. That involved shutting pubs, cafes and non essential shops - rather than leaving cafes, shops and most pubs still open as in tier 3.

I hope they enjoy paying for the mess as the decades roll by.

Yep and it’s not even a British tradition.

The R number is leaping up. It's far too late for a 2 week circuit breaker to have much effect, so a longer lockdown (Tier 4 or worse?) seems inevitable. It's just a question of how long before Boris acts.The time has passed, so why dither any longer. Is he going to allow Halloween? Bonfire night?
If he doesn't get it under control quickly, then the relaxation for Christmsa will be mince-pie-in-sky. I'd love to know what SAGE think of the idea.

Nope, it's a severe lockdown coming, except the young/healthy will have lost their fear of the virus, others will be bored of the rules, and others still will no longer give a **** about the rules. I think there'll have to be more strict enforcement this time, otherwise it won't be effective. Bah.

In happier news, my centenarian grandparent tested positive 2 months ago but has shaken it off without any ill effects. Amazing!

There have been very few reported cases in Africa so far, don't know what that indicates. So if anyone wants to get away from it here might be a good place to escape.
Mixed blessing for me as I want to come over to the UK around Easter. Airline seats are dirt cheap right now but what chances do I have of catching it if I come?

As I'm sure you know that's because most Africans are under 21. Only 3 percent are over 60.

Depending on where you go, what you do and who you spend time with your chances of catching it can be tiny.

The common cold must be having a rough time at the moment.

You can still ride as a group of 6 and can stop outdoors as the group, but not indoors. If there's more than 6 of you ride in different groups.

My club's been doing rides and asking people to state that they're going. When the six is formed the ride is full. Other's have been doing polls / taking tickets.
