The Isle of Wight jumping to Tier 4 is an odd one.
As they are all inbred and in the same bubble anyway, something has gone wrong there.

Must be like Somerset. Low numbers initially, a rise, which % wise looks scary, and small hospital capacity.

That, or Southampton visited.

The move forced upon NHS England to centralize specialized services over the last decade has widened the need for these tiers. You can be in a very low covid risk area but the actual hospital that will take very poorly people can be some distance and spreading its across many areas and tiers these days in leveled Britain.

Yeah, that happened with me down here. We share the Bristol NHS Trust, (thankfully), so although my bit of the country was not really bad, Bristol was for a few weeks.

I think @peteblue is affected by being linked to Leicester in the same way. Its frustrating, but totally understandable.

The Somerset thing has ground my gears a bit. It's a huge, largely rural county. Where I live you could practically throw a stone into Wiltshire or BANES, the local hospital is RUH in Bath, and Mendip district has an infection rate way below the rest of the county. We're suffering because of Taunton and Bridgwater, over an hour away. Bath, Bristol, Wiltshire and North Somerset are all Tier 3, yet I'm in Tier 4. Bent.

People need to get a grip...no easy thing to do I grant you given the British 24 hour media circus trying to outdo themselves with grim forecasts.

Roughly over the same period (October 2019 to the present) there has been 2,800 deaths due to coronavirus; compared to between 15,000 to 30,000 caused by the common flu. Over half a million annually die from the flu globally.

Dont let these turds spook you.

This just winds me up even more. Even though we have a low rate we have 6 major hospitals less than a 30 minute drive away.....
