Coronavirus outbreak

[mjr]

The map what it looks like today (left) and what it should look like today in my opinion and will do very soon (this is on the conservative side sadly and really probably be more tier 3 and tier 4 on there than what I've marked up). Interestingly enough both sky and the guardian have made mistakes on their maps before they went out. Many, many, many of the areas I've painted in tier 3 deeper red are you guessed it, tory voting areas.

Why should there be a new island off the north east English coast?

The hospital admission numbers are getting more grim by the day. The next few days are going to see some trusts sailing very close to wind.

Case numbers have been doubling every 6 days in London. Can expect hospital admissions to follow suit for a minimum of a week. Wales also in deep trouble.

We need to act now, ahead of the game just for once, in the rest of the country, *before* we get to that point everywhere.

We're going to need it .

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.

East of England. The time axes go up to the 15th December.

Thanks.

160 per 100,000 for the whole of Carlisle, but that's the old data to the 15th December. PHE do think the highest peak for Carlisle on the second wave so far was 294 per 100,000 though.

Which all adds to the real risk this new strain becomes well established in hospitals and other health care settings. All adding fuel on the fire for community transmission. Which set's up the NHS nicely for even greater staffing issues. Even if they see this next few days though staffing levels may not allow much leeway. Mrs 73 is already 11 trained staff down as it is.

National lock down essential now, before it's too late. Potential to be very bad indeed, easily capable of outrunning vaccination. Not yet certain, but likely enough.

About 5% of houses in the Cotswolds, more like 50% in the nice villages, are second homes for London-dwellers. The A419/A417 were apparently rather busy on Sat night as they took the new virus there.

Anyone else found Hancock yesterday saying this new variant of the the virus is out of control. A bit rich as if the "old" virus was ever under control in the first place.

It did feel like he was overplaying the drama to justify the government U-turn over Exmas.

His heart wasn't really in it yesterday. He'd had enough. Hayward's interview this morning he looked very tired. King from parallel universe SAGE and Grant Shapps the only ones that were not.

Hospital data now fully integrated into government dashboard so now searchable by trust area.

My heart bleeds who's fault is that one ?

Grant Shapps has claimed on tv the UK is doing 50% of the genomic sequencing on strains in the world, which is quite a claim given a couple of other countries take this very seriously. It may be why some other countries are claiming not to have the 'new' strain.
