Prob because even with restrictions it is an air born virus, its now winter and it was always going to spread


Think it's more surprising that it hasn't spread even worse

We keep hearing stories of people not distancing and acting irrisponsibly so I guess some regions are worse than others. My region is now 46 per 100,000.

Very useful to see this summary

Although I'm completely staggered there is so much freedom of movement/activity & a complete lack of any frequency capping during the pandemic, especially while infection numbers 'seem' out of control

Fully agreed

When the " extra strong' measures were announced after lockdown I was very confused

They are less strict by a mile
 
Apparently Milton Keynes has a rate of 216 per 100K, yet somehow we escaped tier 3 yesterday. Not been anywhere near the main city centre since before the first lockdown, but if the reports are true, you'd be insane to go in there - the place is apparently rammed with many people failing to do social distancing, refusing to wear masks and ignoring the one way system. I get it's Christmas, and people want to shop but I really don't understand the mentality of people. The sooner we do tier 3 the better, but it's a mad world out there, the shops will stay open and the idiots will still behave like idiots.

Not necessarily escaped Tier 3. The announcement is tomorrow, London was brought forward as the need was more pressing to move it up a tier.

Yep Luton and Milton Keynes both expected to be in Tier 3.

Yep, with such a large portion of the country in tier 3 now, unless there are enough areas going the other way to counter that (which I do not think that there is) I can see a press conference at the weekend cancelling or amending the plans for Xmas. I can see it being restricted to 3 days (Xmas eve, Xmas day and Boxing day) or being cancelled all together with people staying in their tiers. Seems to be a ground swell of opinion that the Xmas relaxation should be cancelled now.

The North goes into tier 3, people have a moan, shrug their shoulders and get on with it.
London goes into tier 3, it's the end of the world :eek:

That's because if London's economy suffers the whole economy suffers ..

London normally brings in 25% of the whole UK GDP which is taken out and fed to the entire country

They won't cancel Xmas now, would be a massive vote loser

They will keep saying only meet if you have to. Just because you can don't mean you should etc so that it's up to the public

They know people will break it anyways
 
I don't understand why non essential retail isn't closed in Tier 3 and probably Tier 2. I know I know it's the last couple of weeks before Christmas and retailers would flip out BUT it's bound to be a huge source of spread as we all know how manic the town centres get in the lead up to Christmas. With the ability to get everything online I just think it makes sense to close them.

I can't answer that without going into politics
