Around 24,000 new cases but once again our world beating track and trace system missed 11,000 Welsh cases that are added to give a 35,000 tally. The information says those affected were still contacted as normal but the system maintenance was carried out over the weekend making the number of additional cases an insane number for just Wales in such a short span of time and raises the spectre of what the real levels are now at.Last edited by Neon Ignition; 17-12-2020, 17:15.

From Boxing Day Northern Ireland will enter a minimum 6 week lockdown leaving now just Scotland and England left to wait and see how plans adapt given the incoming wave of cases from Xmas.
And I'm going to be starting to submit bets to the bookies on COVID matters because like clockwork...
Downing Street refuses to rule out Lockdown 03 in the new year

PM warns infection rates have jumped; ONS estimates show 567,300 Covid cases in England last week; R number across UK back above 1
Due to yesterdays non-committal response Johnson and others are once again pushed on if there will be a Lockdown 03 in the new year and continue to refuse to rule it out.

It all sucks. The gov sucks. The response sucks. Sucky sucking suckers.
But the general population, or rather the swathes of idiots within said population, need to look at themselves, their attitudes, and their behaviour.
(The last couple of days I have been 'politely' scolding the maskless. Pro tip...being big and mean looking helps when calling a random a worthless effing cnote!)

True.
But personal responsibility, being a decent person, is up to the individual. 'I'll be a wanker cos the gov are wankers innit'. No. Selfish, lazy, scummy.
(I don't like wearing a mask, or the restrictions to my personal freedom, yet I follow the rules and guidelines to the letter as the science says it is a good thing to do for the benefit of myself and, most importantly, others.)

The ****ty government does not come from nothing. They won a significant majority from this electorate so the whole thing is circular. "We'll be wankers cos the government are" . Comes from "we'll be wankers cos the public like that and have constantly rewarded us for demonstrable lies.". Look at the eye watering levels of mis/disinformation around this and it is the same that they have done for their careers.

The existing measures suck as well, they don't go anywhere near as far as during the early months and rely as well on the cop out of lifting things too early.
28,500 cases today with no backlog added making for a new peak post Lockdown 02. It's purely from being handled so badly and the build up to Lockdown 03 is going to make the run up the last one look like easy street. If a lockdown starts in January it needs to be properly implemented and kept in place until case numbers reach a level that vaccination balances out the later infection rate effectively ensuring no fourth round is ever needed. The Tories keep creating pandemic conditions.

I don't want to get into the last election, pointless. All options were abysmal.
I think it's simply selfish low intelligence chodes being selfish low intelligence chodes.
There is guidance everywhere you look, tv, radio, online, print. There is no excuse, not even the 'but he / she / cumrag broke the rules', that removes individual responsibility.

Literally everything that we have seen since Boris won an 80-seat majority clearly shows that line to be complete and utter bullsh1t.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 18-12-2020, 19:24.

?
Please read nothing more into "All options were abysmal." than exactly that.
Very different things can each be abysmal.
(Edit - I went LD, Ed Davey. When it comes to national voting time I'm afraid I just look to the region. All national options are very different types of abysmal )Last edited by wheelaa; 18-12-2020, 20:04.
