6000 people live in Garswood. Those numbers mean about 13 people in that area have covid. Most of them are similar, a couple of houses with outbreaks makes small places look worse than they are.

It's on the increase and it'll break out of the areas it's doubled in in the last week and spread - and spread exponentially. We know this from experience by now. It's a genie that doesn't go back in the bottle. Once the trend is upward, and no strict lockdown is administered, then it'll rip very quickly.
This isn't even debatable, tbh. It's just what we will see, unfortunately. And that will happen time and again until the vaccines have been rolled out and taken up.
There might be plenty of Populist - Right Wing Govts. and then there's Trump...a populist etc, etc.
Unlike Trump, Europe's far-right leaders haven't been damaged by the pandemic | Cas Mudde and Jakub Wondreys
A study of 31 countries shows other rightwing populists have not been ‘exposed’ by Covid-19 in the way the US president was, say political scientists Cas Mudde and Jakub Wondreyswww.theguardian.com
The thing is that they're semi reasonable people, while Trump is madder than a cut snake...not linking apples with apples there

Theres been similar outbreaks in cluster areas over the past 2 months, its not a new thing. Merseyside is in a better position than pretty much everywhere else in England so hopefully that will help to prevent a huge rise in January.
From the BBC's blog -
Appreciate the other factors as mentioned, but I'm sorry, there's no way COVID wasn't rife here this time last year.
The latest hospital occupancy data has been published in England. It shows in the week ending 13 December, 89% of beds were occupied, leaving 10,500 empty beds.
That means hospitals were actually busier this time last year, when 95% of beds were occupied.
Ideally hospitals would operate at only 85% capacity, so the right beds are available when patients need them, but in recent years it has been consistently above that level.
Hospitals are also having to cope with fewer beds this year.
They have just over 89,000 beds in total – down 8,000 on last year, reflecting the fact infection control and social distancing have meant some beds have been taken out of the system.
The national figure does mask some real hotspots in some areas where hospitals are close to being full.
But it does show there is some wriggle room overall. What we don’t know is at what cost this has come.
Non-Covid care, such as routine operations, are likely to be getting increasingly cancelled as the number of Covid patients increases.

From the Guardian. Apartheid in full swing in Israel
Israel will begin rolling out a major coronavirus vaccination campaign next week after the prime minister reached out personally to the head of a major drug company. Millions of Palestinians living under Israeli control will have to wait much longer, AP reports.

Fake news.
Anyone would think that he wants it to remain high, so he can sit in his ivory tower for as long as possible.
Looking at that map, I expect Yorkshire to be in Tier 2.
I would, honestly, not care too much if it remained in Tier 3. It'd be crap but maybe another 2 weeks would just help get the rates down a bit more.
But it's all just crap. And looking at those hospital figures, it seems so blatant that this time last year we all just went around unaware and frankly, nobody knew the difference.

Bristol and North Somerset (me) into tier 2! @ste d' indica
Wont make a blind bit of difference to me, but a bit of good news for some.

Well, it's crap, but I can accept it.
Honestly, not worth the hassle for any pubs, restaurants etc to be able to open over Xmas at such short notice anyway.
If staying in T3 for another 2-4 weeks means we can come out and stay out in Jan, then fine, let's do it.
Just need this shambles of a government to actually take some responsibility themselves.

Effing serfs not getting sick so Dave can be right on the Internet.
I’m a bit surprised parts of the north weren’t dropped to Tier 1 but they also know we’re massive pissheads so doing that on the eve of Christmas would be foolish.
