Hello decadence
And for those holding up Sweden as an exemplar....this is the reality and it didn’t save their economy either.

What a joke. FkingGovt. Manchester still in T3, no mention, Bristol is nearly double what my area is and they have gone to T2.

Unbelieveable ! We were hoping parts of GM would come out. It's about 70 in 100k where I live. Grrr. We're less than the T2 area next door.

Well we are still T2, 147/100k, which looks odd compared to what @fossyant stated for his area, but the rest of the immediate family is still T3, 208/100k
Entire years were sent home on Monday at my nephews' school. All of years 8 & 10. This is wrecking their education and the work sent for them to do at home is appalling.

Case rate is only one of the things used to work out the tier. In isolation they mean little in the wider over all picture round here the rate have come down. But a few areas inc here are seeing a small uptick in cases add in a good number of hospitals are still running at low bed numbers due to cases from the last time the numbers went up so staying put in tier 3 it has be.
Unless an area can show they meet all the elements of tier setting then you're highly likely to stay as is or move up.
Some of it I accept look and sound a bit odd and out of step without real detailed data is hard to say if they are a good move or not.
It's not great and a big pain but the government are set on the tiers it's looking more the case that even this is not work. Plus the latest sats are not looking good hospital admission are now at April levels. The old hit and miss within the same area was no help at all and going back to some sort of that approach is not a great idea.

This is GM's latest

Locally we're less than the 107 for Stockport, but you'll see a big South Manchester area, Tameside, Stockport and Trafford is way below national average but remains in T3.

Disley is at 114 and Poynton 93 - same numbers T2 ?

The whole of South Manchester has been really low compared to North Manchester and we've been under harsh restrictions since July. High Peak is another area that's T3 and it's rates are comparatively low as well. I can cycle or drive literally 5 miles and be in T2 area.

I know GM's been linked together but I'm seeing huge amount of damage for our local hospitality. There will be nowhere to go for a nice meal !

Oh look, Liverpool's worst 5 infection rates..... higher than GM's and they are T2 ?

Meanwhile, in Ireland, the message is now to only meet people indoors who you trust with your life! https://www.thejournal.ie/hse-christmas-advice-5303687-Dec2020/

Visits to care homes stopped. Pubs shut and no indoor mixing means less likliehood of staff catching the virus in the community and bringing it into care homes or hospitals.

In England the government were talking of banning people working in more than one home. I don't know whether anything came of this suggestion.

As at today, Care Homes are still using Agency Staff, they probably could not function without Agency Staff.

I would have thought Agency Staff should be tested, before going on shift, but, I very much doubt they are.

IMHO, it is a joke to be restricting relatives from visiting, whilst allowing casual staff changes such as this.

Update.
The whole family have now tested positive.
My wife tested on Sunday, me on Tuesday and my son tested yesterday.
I’m feeling rough but don’t seem to have the chest infection yet.
It’s solved the family Christmas conundrum because we will be in isolation until
Christmas Day!
Bad news but keep the family safe, forget all those things that need doing before Christmas and concentrate on recovering. Christmas on New Year's Eve?
