Sounds like we're all going into tier 4 (Extremely High?)

Liverpool was the first area to enter tier 3, to me it looks like the
infections were already falling there before the 14th October, and it
doesn't seem to have changed the rate of decline much ...

operating with all classes online but schools operating as normal. Over the
week the daily count has gone down from 1100 to less than 500. So the point
is ... it jbexes.

seem to show restrictions catching the tail-end of a rise and turning it
into a fall (insofar as you can tell, given you'll never know what would
have happened without tier3)

some areas, such as Dublin, and from the beginning of October nationally,
then full lockdown 1 week ago. From that Wikipedia article, as I read it.

If you served the measures being taken in a pub, Trading Standards
would have you in a heartbeat. We're now on for far more deaths and
far more economic damage than had we locked down in September.

Welsh lockdown is only part-way through, so will take about a fortnight

for it to a) complete and b) collate results, but if you squint at the

P.S. This "National" lockdown will not affect Scotland, Wales nor Norn

Slovakia is taking the Chinese approach, mass testing - They are using the quick test which has a 30% false all clear rate but as the guy says it still means they will identify 75% of the infected and quarantine them within 14 days. The Chinese and others who were hit by SARS version 1 seem to have taken the right approach, mainly by using a lot of testing, and are currently staying on top of it with outbreaks seldom affecting more than 100 people. Our testing system doesn't seem to be working, wasn't it supposed to world beating or was that something Trump said ? (they are all starting to look alike to me).

improvement over the following week or so after lockdown in new cases
being reported due to the slightly variable incubation period, a few
weeks before hospital admissions start to drop as the disease makes
progress in the reduced number of new cases, and a month or two before
it makes any difference to the reported death rates partly due to the
way they are calculated.
What has also been noted, but not widely published, is that the normal
number of 'flu cases has dropped, so saving lives for those due to die
of that, which has, in turn, reduced the number of excess deaths
compared to the expected number. The precautions of lockdown actually
reduce transmission of *all* the common infectious niggles we all get.

Yes..
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-national-restrictions-from-5-november
The thing is that it also allows older people who volunteer to decide for
themselves if they want to carry on since without volunteers last time a
lot more people would have suffered being left adrift without a support
network.
On the other hand, is a month long enough for all students to get it and
lose the infection?
Also both sectors, children and students are the least likely to show
symptoms, but sadly can still pass it on. This is, I fear the virus secret
weapon which we ignore at our peril. The only true answer is to saew up the
country test everyone in one half then only let people in the other half in
if they do not have it. Not sure how you do that. anyone got a floating
country out there?

There are few options for any government though.
Total lock down means ruination of the economy, and the virus will come
back later. Do you gamble on the virus going away or having a vaccine? do
you accept an only partially tested vaccine for your key workers as in
Russia? Do you run tests on large bits of your population like in china?
Do you let the virus rip away, hardly a civilised approach, or do you adopt
the Donald Trump view of let the little bits do do their own thing as I do
not care about anything but me.

I think the problem is all countries know their populations can only be
pushed so far, before the rule of law will break even if you put the army on
the streets like in France, who is going to start shooting citizens to save
lives. I mean, it dooes not compute. I guess anything that slows it down is
all we can do and one hopes each government knows its people by now.
There never has been anything like this in this modern era of mass
communications and travel after all. People cannot be treated as mushrooms,
ie put into the dark and fed shit any more.

Hopefully we now have what we did not have in March, a half decent up to
date test system. Back in march nobody knew how big the pool of infection
was. Although now its still not ideal, due to the low take up of the app,
it is a lot better and might point an arrow at least to the activities that
spread it to the very vulnerable. Interestingly, age is the key, still but
the medics can now more or less get those up to 75 through it, assuming no
extra health issues. Sadly though it has revealed the post viral damage to
organs and some neurological areas not expected before. We should not be
surprised though as Chicken pox/Shingles can damage organs and nerves and
many people do suffer from post viral syndrome even with otherwise well
known cold viruses. This is because viruses do kill cells and cannot do
anything else when the release the bits that they make in that cell. The
body tries to replace cells of course but as we age this is just not as
efficient.

the scary forriners out. The nation in question might be England, but
I'm not hearing that I can go anywhere or do anything within that. I'm

we're in here. I told him, the national papers say Lancashire is in tier
3, the local paper had 2 articles; one was on the help for businesses in
tier 2 and the other was a prediction that we'll soon be put into tier 4
(in what I was hearing is a 3-tier system), but that I didn't really
give a shit because it'd all change again shortly.

Islands, see ? They've got this useful physical isolation thing going
for them ... um. oh. Hang on ...
I saw a piece from someone who flew to Australia recently. No more than
50 people on a fullsized plane, masks and shields all the time unless
they're actually eating the meal, and when the plane touches down they
are not left to wander through the public systems, they're herded
straight onto a bus and taken to a quarantine hotel with soldiers on the
door to make damn sure they stay there for the full fortnight.
Which is pointless unless you have the will to make the thing go away
inside those borders. Seems like some do, some don't.
I wish our government did.

Did he test his eyes before he put the nozzle in the car, otherwise he
might have got petrol in his shoes.
Actually the speculation cannot be true, his wife does not have two
birthdays.

That is true.
However we now do not have what we _did_ have in March. A population
which recognised the situation, and were prepared to do the right thing
because it was common sense to do so.

On the wireless, recently, I heard that there is some evidence that
viruses have "gentlemen's agreements". You catch a virus and the others
stand back until you have fought off that virus and then the next one
steps in. Apparently 'flu viruses stand back if a potential victim has
CORVID-19. I cannot quote a source, as I was doing something else at the

"In December 2011, Cummings married Mary Wakefield, sister of his friend
Jack Wakefield, former director of the Firtash Foundation. Mary
Wakefield has worked at the weekly magazine The Spectator for decades,
since Boris Johnson was editor, and is now commissioning editor. She is
the daughter of Sir Humphry Wakefield, 2nd Baronet, of Chillingham
Castle in Northumberland. Her mother is Katherine Wakefield, née Baring,
elder daughter of Evelyn Baring, 1st Baron Howick of Glendale."

I've just finished reading a series of lockdown eassays by Zadie Smith. In
a postscript she writes about contempt as a virus, and as an example of a
particularly british symptom she describes Cummings' television interview
from the Rose Garden, when his mouth was uttering his excuses but his eyes
were saying "why are you plebs bothering me with this nonsense."
(The USAnian example was the policeman with his knee on George Floyd's
