To be fair she held her phone number up on a sign and maybe I got the wrong idea.
Didn't even need to spike her drink so thought it was on.
Probably shouldn't have got my cock out.

Mate defriended me last night on Facebook. He posted about Italy finding it is a bacteria and not a virus. I uploaded the scientific fact check but he still wouldn’t accept it. Said he’d got a phd and knows how to do his own research. Tin foil hat dangerous man

Covid: Women on exercise trip 'surrounded by police'
The two women were given £200 fixed penalty notices after driving five miles to go on a walk.www.bbc.co.uk
This just looks like a PR + product placement piece to me..... you just know by looking at that pair, that its all about "the socials".
Btw....I'd arrest any c**t that takes a starbucks to a beauty spot.

1 in 30 is pretty frightening. What tier were London in during December? Who decided that was a good idea

There's literally a warning on the website of the place they went to and all their social media saying don't visit unless you live in the local village and that the police will be there carrying out checks.

Heard on the radio yesterday parts of Essex are 1 in 18 and they expect that ratio to spread to other parts of the county

They are still fucking it aren't they? One could go to a place of worship and a garden centre. No need. Also schools are confusing, we got a key worker place even though I'm at home working. I sent the kids in one day then school emailed and said if one parent is home so should children be. I felt from a safety perspective for the teachers and others it was probably the right thing to do to keep them off so I have done. Since then the wife has had communications to say children with only one key worker parent should infact be in school. Very confusing.

Different guy. The guy I’ve mentioned before on here is one of my oldest friends and unfortunately yes, a covidiot. Luckily he’s avoided it so far which really is lucky as he’s not been in the best of health for a number of years and I fear it would finish him off should he get it. Fortunately some things have been taken out of his control, like his company have insisted that he works from home given his underlying health conditions.
I really don’t think a lot of these covidiots appreciate what they put loved ones through with actions.

In our schools case even with strict criteria & vetting, they've ended up with about 1/2 the entire schools pupils in....as have many other primaries in the area.....so its the worst of all worlds.....over 200 kids, all being dropped off & collected + a (so far) piss poor level of remote learning.
...so its fucking the kids education, causing untold social damage, financial hardship & the school is still a ( albeit lesser) vector for transmission.....
Immense cluster fuck all round really......and its going be like this until April FFS.

Oh dear, yesterday's low just a reporting blip
That said, the 29th Dec still the peak as far as cases by specimen date. However, I understand that once again tests are taking a long time to return results.

Looks like the numbers are still a bit all over the place since Christmas. We were hovering around 60K a day then a sudden drop to 52K now a sudden jump to 68K. Cases by specimen date will be clearer but that takes 3 or 4 days to catch up.

The guidance has stuffed schools over - especially primary. Less kids bunged into less rooms giving a not too dissimilar proportion in some areas (though not all and far less the further you go up Secondary school) - some people need it because their employers are being difficult and exploiting a widening scope from the DfE - but that’s not going to help in the control and suppression of the virus.

I edited my post subsequently but think that's going to be unreliable until a week or so past the date in question.
The admission data is awful, nearly 4k admitted by 4th Jan which is way way higher than the peak of the first wave.
At least with vaccinations there probably won't be such a peak of deaths but there are going to be a lot.
I got my test result 6 hours after taking it, then got my vaccine the following day, results come Back pretty fast now, but I'm also a NHS employee so. Maybe thats whyy I got a fast test.

In London (from BBC):
The latest numbers show that:
- 7,034 people are in hospital with Covid-19 in London – twice as many as two weeks ago and about a third higher than the previous peak in April
- 908 patients are on ventilators – more than twice as many as two weeks ago
- Last week, about one-in-six ambulances had to wait more than half an hour to unload patients into emergency departments.
Bit of a clutching at straws but noted we’d done 620k tests (yesterday 550k)...before that under 500k per day so increase partially to do with extra tests maybe. The ONS is probably the best guide with them thinking 1m have got it ! People really have got to keep away from others as best they can for a bit

Schools have had to have a rethink.
Numbers of kids in have been high due to the key worker/critical worker criteria widening.
Point of closing schools was to reduce spread, still having loads of kids in doesn't do much.
Trying to reduce numbers on site includes staff - more kids in means more staff or you are having classrooms of 30 again....
Letters like that from schools are trying to reduce risk, the whole reason for "closing" Schools....
