Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Rother is now 10 cases per 100,000. Never thought they’d get this low.

The only East Sussex regions above 30 is Brighton at 32 and my region Hastings at 31 but both are a huge help in making the England average 50 cases per 100,000. Hastings has had many tough days; last week we were 71, so it’s a fantastic recovery.

So far, there are none.

That may be different after a week mind, but the danger to the wider/vulnerable population is low.

Took a peek at my area re case numbers. (positive tests), and the report said a 100% rise from the previous week. We had 4 instead of 2.

Twitter will no doubt say Portishead is a covid hotspot.

A band who’ve taken their name from an area of Bristol, where a load of them came from.

I always loathed the media catchphrases that are “Took to Twitter” and it’s other variations, being when for example some idiot says something at a gig that is political and everyone gets in one over it and “tweets” their opinions, only for a news media site to run a report and quote the tweets, only for the posters to get all pathetically excited that some website “featured” them.

Covid has overtaken that, because that has created many more media catchphrases I hate more than anything, with “The New Normal” being the worse.
