The actual deaths per day has been below 100 for a bit now, these daily figures are just slowly under the radar catching up the excess deaths that thave built up. But are the other European countries who are now on single digit numbers against which we compare not in the same boat? And if they are not then we were far worse than them at peak Covid time. We can't have it all ways. I suppose in the end the only certain measure is deaths per head of the population and we are near enough top of that table. Yes. I think we are a certainty for the play-offs. Possibly top two...

I see Johnson is looking at going down the Scotland route of making masks compulsory in all shops.
Has anyone got a blood pressure monitor for Dave F?

Rumours of a local lockdown being imminent where I live are spreading like wildfire.

Exactly how I responded. Apparently it's one of largest increases reported. My reaction is it's been so low around here and 2000% increase would still be low numbers.

The only time I've been into burnley town centre is when stoke have been playing there. A bigger shit hole than Hanley I play tennis and golf not far from Ribchester. 👍

'Stay at home if you can' seemed to change to 'Go to work if you can' today if I heard the PM right.
This is a huge about turn if true.
I'm not sure why there wasn't a proper announcement, just the PM muttering vaguely in to his chin in the so called 'People's PMQ's' which no one watches.

By my reckoning that means Southampton (population 269,000) have either 13 new cases or 13 people infected.

Old news then judging by that echo report 🤔

How the actual fuck are we still cleaning out 150 people a day on a regular basis? It's more than the rest of Europe added together. And I keep hearing the USA has it worst. But that's a load of baloney. They have x5 our population but just a few more deaths. We've won the body count prize by the same distance Liverpool just won the title. We've had a nightmare from start to, well I was going to say finish, but it seems we still have a way to go! Here they say it won't stop until everyone's had it! That's the strategy. Shit UK has taken a frighteningly lax approach to dealing with this pandemic at the unnecessary cost of tens of thousands of lives but even they are not openly saying that. The science behind all this hasn't even established that immunity is reliably generated after having been infected.

His only true political aim is a no deal Brexit as far as I can tell.

Doesn't lead on anything. Mumbles something, Cummings puts out an opinion poll and depending on the feedback it either gets confirmed by the backdoor or forgotten. Loves rhetoric, bluster and being popular- hates scrutiny, accountability and taking the difficult decision.

Here they say it won't stop until everyone's had it! That's the strategy. Didn't realise Sweden's new cases per day didn't peak until June 24th, 2 months after UK's peak As I remember we were about two weeks behind you in this part of the States. Prince Georges County, which is next to us and where the wife worked, was a savage hot spot. The first big word we got was The Kennedy Center in DC. Obviously they have massive international roots and contacts and they closed very quickly. Same with Broadway and both were the first to announce this years done. See, the Arts are important.

I cant see how we are going to make any positive progress at all. Genocide by incompetence and public apathy.

Any idea why Boris was wearing a mask when he has had Covid19 and has immunity for at least the short term?
Has he really had it? Is there something about immunity we are not being told? Or just to simply give a message if he can be brave enough to wear one in public then everyone can.

Don't you remember the scientist lady advising him masks weren't really any good, it was sat down in a 1 v 1 type interview. Don't let the facts get in the way though

Which makes him wearing a mask even more odd given he's had it and has immunity. Nobody has been reported to have had it twice after 6 months as far as I'm aware. To be honest I think he's just trying to send a message that people shouldn't be embarrassed to wear one but it will get people talking.
