Not exactly a lockdown, is it..? Covidiot.Ncovidius said:
Wales have pulled the trigger then. They’ve gone for the 27th. I reckon it’s almost inevitable that England and Scotland will follow suit.

Nightclubs to close from 27th in Wales and 2m social distancing in shops and work places.
Seriously, all it takes is for 5 people to flag his posts and they disappear into a moderation queue, I believe. Got to be worth a shot.0 -
Nothing like punishing the young and club owners whilst everywhere else is packed with people. Not really sure Drakeford ķnows what hes on about.Ncovidius said:

"Make sure I prioritise going for a booster if im invited."
How about inviting everyone so they can get a booster ?

One can do that without replying. I guess it's just about justified, as it's pretty obvious trolling, though the idiocy on show is more offensive.0 -
It's going to be interesting to see how the current spike hits Devon, as the published graphs are still heading sharply downwards (to 12 Dec):

You would bet that ever single person in the UK would have had covid by new year. Feel free to lose your money on this bet.kingstonian said:kingstongraham said:

That would mean 8.3m new people have tested positive by Christmas day. And if it continues at the same rate, that's 68m people by New Year's Eve.rick_chasey said:
If it's 78,610 and it doubles every two days. by 17th it's 157,000, 314,000 by the 19th, 630,000 by 21st, 1.25m by 23rd and 2.5m by 25thpblakeney said:
There was a quick calculation done on the Newscast podcast. Can't remember specific numbers but it was along the lines of doubling every 3 days = 150,000 by Christmas Eve. Doubling every 2 days = 650,000. That is a very wide margin of error but we are tending towards every 2 days.rick_chasey said:For context, if my rough calculations aren't way off, if we go at the current run rate we'll be at 2.5m new cases **a day** by Christmas.
Those figures suggest tighter restrictions soon but we all know BJ likes a party.

We changed our flights yesterday from Saturday to today. Did our PCRs on Wednesday but the post let us down as they didn't get to the lab until today (even though posts by 2.30 pm with 24 hour priority mail), too late to get our results in time to fly to GVA, so lost our holiday. So still only one night away from my own bed in 2 years.kingstonian said:So my brother landed in Geneva 30 mins ago. His one key takeaway from the journey so far is that the whole “negative PCR test to fly” thing would be so easily forged - all he’s done is show a pdf of his test result and no one at any point has actually compared the name on the test to the name in his passport.
He breezed through Swiss immigration, and is now wondering if at any point French immigration will actually know he’s gone into France. If not, it will show what a farce the new entry rules starting tomorrow are.
We weren't alone in our sorry boat at BRS, as others suffered the same.
French ski resorts are really, really unhappy. The are a number for whom over 40% of their visitors come from the UK and the spend in resort is over 50%. Macron has hit hard 2 of their 4 most profitable weeks.0 -

Oh, sorry to hear that. What an utter disappointment for you.
I spent today wondering whether I should have immediately tried to change my Monday flights from Bristol to tonight to get to Paris, but suspect something along the way would have gone wrong.
I'll spend some time tomorrow rebooking flights for Easter and seeing if I can get credit on my Ouigo TGV tickets. I think I'll leave February for now, but will be ready to strike if things get better.1 -

Has there been a conspiracy theory yet that China made the virus but before they released it gave everyone in China an antidote. This could possibly explain that figure.joe2019 said:Yesterday, China recorded its 100,000th case of Covid-19 since the very start of the pandemic.
