the problem I’ve always had with the official figures is it purely based on admittance to hospital. The true representation will never be known and almost impossible to monitor

The all settings figure is 100 for the day, 86 down on yesterday and 28 down on last Saturday, one of the lowest Saturday figures in 3 months. This brings the 7 day rolling average back down to 116.57 with the earlier hospital figure causing that average to rise to 55.29, in terms of daily numbers that works out as 16 and 7 per day respectively

Mostly weekends depend on reporting and data anyway, those figures are far too small in number and variation to take even the slightest note of (that's only statistically speaking of course)
I wouldn't mind decreasing her by 40%.

The country just can't afford another lockdown, it'll be years trying to recover from the excessive expenditure with furlough schemes plus everything else, and that's not even taking into account the likely effects of businesses on their knees if not folding, misery of a huge jump in terminally unemployed, a whole generation could be massively scarred and some children's education and prospects permanently adversely affected.
This lockdown had to work, the fact all that listed before, the mass demonstrations over weeks and weeks, massively overcrowded beaches, illegal and frequent raves or block parties and excessive and dangerous football celebrations in Liverpool is endangering it doesn't make another one an option, it can't be or the country will fail and go bankrupt. Local lockdowns and restrictive bans on beaches or activities is the maximum possible.
The airlines and travel companies are businesses which have probably been hit amongst the very hardest with the prospect of taking a continual massive hit even with the new 'normal'. Thousands of jobs are on the line there and in all workplaces. It's hard to justify quarantine measures against countries who have a far lower Covid rate than are own. (even though ours is falling too now - hence the proposed air lifts)
The police try and intervene and they get attacked such is the mentality involved with some of these people, it's just incredible

There are some factors which could be working for us at the moment which just might help us get away with some of the more idiotic or irresponsible recent behaviour of some.
Just as a virus can mutate and pose an even far more dangerous and deadly threat, the reverse is true as well, it just can't be discounted that it's mutated to a far less virulent and dangerous form and it's this form of the virus that's now most prevalent. As such it would pose far less of a threat with almost everybody infected having very mild, if any symptoms at all.
There is also the very real seasonal factor to consider where some viruses seem to be more long lasting and prevalent in the Autumn and Winter months, dying out or becoming infinitely weaker in the Spring and Summer.
Unfortunately being a new and largely unstudied virus we just don't know and it's impossible atm to be sure, it's all conjecture. Businesses have to start up again and cope with the new 'normal', the vaccine is a hope not a definite, and permanent lockdown impossible unless we want the majority to become destitute and live pitiful lives. There is no option really to opening up now even if it's politically expedient as it's essential too.
Scientists are only looking at what's best to kill off the virus nothing else, that's their remit, for them permanent semi lockdown and a distance of six metres would be ideal, but of course it's not real life or reality.
It's why having done the hard work we know risks are being taken necessarily opening up the economy again anyway, adding or exacerbating those necessary risks just makes the chances of major setbacks or necessarily imposed but punitive local lockdowns all the more likely.
As we know outdoor gatherings and very warm weather might mitigate a lot of the risks but Liverpool already has a higher Covid rate than most other parts of the country. If there is a spike it's reasonably likely to be in this city and a local lockdown just covering this city and surrounding area could easily be the result.

Erm no not really. That was Fridays figure. It's the figures released on Sunday's and Mondays that are normally lower due to weekend counting problems. And the 7 day rolling average figures are intended to iron out the daily fluctuations

Sorry. Thought you were replying to posters next post.
Point still stands though but that post was only hospitalised deaths

Judging by your username you couldn't get it up to get the job done lad lol
Been for a walk by the river, and of the half a dozen pubs doing takeaway beers, I'd be amazed if the people outside were a metre apart, let alone two. Impossible to police so it's a free for all.
From yesterday but the same this evening
