Saw a few drivers in the lanes today, plus motorway busy. Who knew there’d be so much essential tier 4 travel today?

Tier 4 or not, issue is many don’t give a rats and mix when they shouldn’t then complain the government don’t have it under control.

Tier 4 is like the national restrictions.

People do what they want, but it scares more people into limiting contact. Just enough to bring cases down where the new B117 variant wasn't.

It comes at a massive wellbeing cost though :sad:.

plot showing how mad the current tier 2 to 4 system is, I say current, that one is actually old data and even that runs to a few days ago of course. The government put the latest data upto 21st december up in the last hour and there are small surges in North Yorkshire, Devon, Cumbria and other tier 2 areas. There are only five or six relatively small areas (not on a county basis) that should be in tier 2.

One of the five indicators, the percentages of those over 60s is also not so great in many areas.

Sorry but tier 4 looks like a Christmas tree 🎄 and tiers 2 and 3 the decorations to add.

No wonder our FM wanted to restrict moment across the border ! Still don’t understand the current levels south of the border ?? Surely tier 4 for everywhere would best to stem the infections?

Govt policy is to fill the hospitals and morturaries in preference to upsetting the ideologues installed on their own back benches to support Johnson and Brexit.

They will only act when sufficient are dying to be able to oppose these fools.

Herefordshire, formerly tier 1, now tier 2, has already caught up with non-B117 England. Figures up to 21st December.

One case of the new extra infectious strain has been picked up in Baden-Württemberg, a women who recently flew in from the UK. She has been quarantined and hopefully will not be cause of it spreading, although few seen to doubt eventually it is like to spread across more of Europe.
In my view a spread across Europe is inevitable. I know of a young man who lives in Europe who is visiting family in the UK. Isolation on arrival? No. Observing social distancing? No. Observing family bubble? No. Observing Christmas household restrictions? No. On the beer with some friends? Yes.

If he has the virus, he'll carry it home.....

It's already likely widely circulating, maybe if lucky not as widely as in Wales or Southern England, or if very lucky not even as widely as the rest of the UK.

German medics have said as much.

It may even be justified rediverting vaccines to B117 areas in other countries.

I’m just fed up with nay sayers blaming everyone else while they do what they please.
It makes sacrifices others have made a moot point.

least from a personal point of view I know which friends and family can be relied upon in a crisis
