Coronavirus outbreak

[marinyork]

I don’t, now gone tier 3 then tier 4 in 24 hours. But no mass testing.

Been tier 3 here for a good while, but of the around 70 areas promised mass testing a month? or so ago many still don't have it.

Having said that, this area probably doesn't really need mass testing as a priority any more, the capacity should be sent to various places in the home counties.

Updated 7 day data to 16th December out. Even scarier than the 7 day data to the 14th.

Mole Valley that one poster talked of is now 250 per 100,000. Gigantic increases in East Anglia.

Lots of new rapid test centres this week near me in Kirklees, to support the standard test centre that have been here for months.

However, vaccinations have been postponed whilst they build a vaccination centre for the whole area.

Action required, nationwide, now. I can see no rational reason only to act in London.

(I'm still a little sceptical about the significance of the new variant, but there are very few downsides of acting, and potentially catastrophic consequences of delay)

I think the new figures are brutally clear that the new variant being a lot more spreadable is plausible. If it ain't that, then something else is very wrong also that needs sorting out with tighter restrictions and other things.

These new 7 day numbers to the 16th December, updated by a mere 2 days are catastrophic. The whole of the south of England at the very least needs putting in tier 3-4 in the next couple of days. Looks like Devon's going to get absolutely battered. A few rural hideouts might stave it off for a bit Isle of Wight, Dorset, Herefordshire, bits of Wiltshire. Maybe.

Sad but true then again that means being proactive something which looks to be beyond them.

Why just the south? It'll be everywhere. Just the south is delaying the inevitable elsewhere, and making it worse when it does come, surely.

It does need to be everywhere as in Wales and sort of Scotland (although one lower tier area is looking bad there ) , but Boris isn't going to do that. We're already in tier 3. It's true that some bits of the north of England are still in tier 2 I suppose.

The figures for Wales are very grim too.

Up here in Cumbria we are tier 2. Not sure for how long given what's happening. Europe closed its borders to UK for 2 days...

The Zoe app is showing Welsh figures, particularly S Wales, of course, as astronomical. I know the figures change from day to day but not by so that much that they can be discounted as a blip.

Copeland is still 26 per 100,000 on 7 day 16th December data, but Eden is now 229 per 100,000, South Lakeland 176.

Areas in Cheshire that are tier 2 have clocked some very large rises. North Yorkshire's somewhere in the middle.

Have you the data for Carlisle to the 16th?

Loads of Chelsea tractors with London area garage tags on number plates or windows in car park at the Norfolk coast today. Maybe many came up last night? If new variant isn't already here, I'll be astonished.

It'll have been there for a while now, *if* it's as transmissable as the early data suggests.

We need to act on the assumption that it's everywhere, or we will, yet again, regret the dithering at our leisure.

No. I'll have a look tomorrow. It may appear. It's mostly the Guardian I've been looking at and a lot put the data by different boundaries.

Carlisle was 110 per 100,000 on the old old data. The whole of Cumbria is 126 per 100,000 on the old data. South and South West of Carlisle were looking very high already on the old data at high reses to draw too much from.
