I saw something yesterday that suggested that they now had the highest rate of cases in Europe to the size of population. Guess they don't figure much on lockdown sceptics right now, though chances are they will just stop the data when it is inconvenient.
They have just bought in some more restrictions.

Saturday's death data for the UK wasn't great and some of the preliminary daily actuals are already pretty high. It isn't really a surprise given the reported cases were above 500 for 3 days in a row. There are signs the cases may be falling in the North West (which was the hotspot) and in Wales and Scotland (where there were earlier stronger restrictions), but I don't think we can be sure that the cases are falling nationwide.
I don't know where they can go at the end of this lockdown period unless there is a much more significant change in outlook. The Covid Recovery Group seem to be really badly timed with all the bad data coming from Europe and the US too.

Hopefully the Pfizer vaccine will get sign off later this month and the Oxford one will give good results and sign off in Dec.
Vaccinations will then start , maybe they can do 1m injections a week, starting in Dec.
2m in the NHS, 0.5m in care home plus staff (let’s say 0.5m) then all the over 70s 3.3m totals 6.3m people so 12m doses, if the UK does million a week - so we are looking at end of Feb for the most vulnerable to have some protection.(there are lots of vulnerable under 70s as well but they are lower down the list)
Christmas shopping with 2 months purchases compacted into 3 weeks is going to be a mess, huge queues etc etc
Then many people will meet for Xmas day - hospitals in Jan will be overloaded, vaccinations won’t have taken effect in time.
Meeting at Xmas needs to be severely limited, then give the hope of family meals in late Feb when the older population will be safer.

I need to learn to count.
3m NHS and care homes, 3.3m over 80s and 5.5m in their 70s
total 11.8m
Two doses makes 23.6m injections, at 1m per week is mid May which would be far more depressing.
Which means they need 2m injections a week to make an impact.
Anything after Easter will only see big benefits in winter 21//22.
Easter school hols then the seasonal effects of lowering R should limit it the excess deaths till sept 21.

This article struck a chord with me today. We are due to have our first child in 6 weeks time. This is very "first world problems" but we didn't get the opportunity to go to the scans together or attend any midwife appointment stuff. I am the only person allowed to be at the birth which is the most upsetting - my partner is obviously very nervous and would have felt more comforted to have her mum and family in the room or waiting close by.
No complaints of course but a very strange time to be going through this. Will be a positive end to a crap year. Generation COVID!
Little boy arrived yesterday after partner started contractions last Friday - FIVE days! They may need to stay in for a couple of nights and I can only visit between 3pm-4pm. Hoping I might be able to get them home today. Terrifying but amazing.

My missus had two huge sessions, both over 24 hours, and I can't imagine 5 days of that. Hope Covid meant you didn't have to alternate between standing and the most uncomfortable seat in the World for 5 days.
Hope they both get out soon and get plenty of sleep now. As Red says they are great and completely worth it once you get through the initial few months.
