Coronavirus in the UK - news, lockdown and discussion

[Flavour]

88,000 cases in a country with such a high vaccination rate is pretty staggering. i've had family members telling me Omicron is "minor" now that I've informed them I'm not coming.

 

[BristolEcho]

According to the Zoe app we are 1400 cases up since last week and around 7k cases locally.

 

[StoneRoad]

A huge wodge of today's cases are in the London, South East & East regions.

In comparison, the North East is pretty much still only got Delta case levels.

Scroll down & pop your postcode in - UK Summary | Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the UK

It gives cases in the last 7 days, for Worthing I divide it by 1.1, as the population is about 110k, to get the cases per 100k.

You don't need to do that; you can just zoom in on the map, click on your area and it'll tell you the rate per 100k. If we are being competitive on numbers here's mine

Still more than a few traces of desperation from the authorities when it comes to vaccination levels of pregnant women.

You can do that, but there's a 5-day lag, not great with omicron doubling every two days.

In terms of the regions of England, so far as expected only the London region is showing a really notable trend in daily hospital admissions/diagnoses:

Omicron doesn't seem to have reached Cornwall yet - area round me has gone blue from purple.

Just a tiny silver lining : my anti vax neighbours were planning to go to France on Sunday, to their spare house. I am a bad person.

Ffs. They are off tonight, to beat the deadline. Fuckers that was my silver lining.

Fuckers; taking back control of their borders.

i dont get how they are going to be able to pull it off, they were supposed to leave on sunday so will have booked pcr tests (unvaxxed so required) on that timescale but they are getting on a ferry tonight? You can probably get it done at the ferry port or something. Fuckers.

you can get an LFT doesn't have to be a PCR, but not a DIY one has to be done somewhere by a trained person.
They might test positive yet after travelling there...

I hope they get interned [at their own expense] on arrival over there.
They "might" have just squeaked the test inside the 48hours if the ferry on Sunday was actually leaving Saturday night ...
Still, fuck 'em.

The opportunity to rush home or somewhere to beat a deadline is one of the reasons that closing borders can't work.

 

[bimble]

Fuck em but also stuff like this it’s a good focus for all the undirected anger that I have about the whole last two years. So much of the anger has nowhere to go it’s kind of cathartic to have them as covid bogeypeople.

It depends who does it, I remember some countries doing it as of 4AM on the night when announcing these things for that very reason (but still giving people on a flight the ability to land)
