Re: Coronavirus: Second wave of Covid-19 coming to UK, says PM
HiI am not bothered by the rise, the vast majority of which is youngsters who have no or littlest effects.
The Pretendies have been for the first time in months.
Masked, socially distanced, absolutely no problem at all.
I do not put myself at risk, I am very careful.

Understandable for young children, but unavoidable for irresponsible parents and older covidiots.
My advice: just keep away from other people.

Exactly.
The Pretendies are at school, no social distancing and they play tag,
They are not idiots.
Jakob is autistic, attends a Special School.
First visit for a long time, both had masks and gloves.
Lovely to see them and they were very proper, knowing the risks.
I have a feeling that a £20 note each may have influenced things.

Coronavirus cases in England have "increased rapidly", data shows, as ministers grapple with what to do next.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54477618
Estimates suggest between 1/170 and 1/240 people you meet in the street has the virus.
Both current cases, and the speed at which they are increasing, are much higher in the north of England than the national average.
Scientific advisers warn hospital admissions are "very close" to levels in early March.
A deluge of data shows a clear pattern of rising cases:
- The R number - the average number of people each infected person passes the virus onto - is now estimated between 1.2 and 1.5. Anything above 1.0 means cases are increasing.
- The Covid Symptom Study app - which uses data from 4 million people and 12,000 swab tests - estimates 21,903 people are developing Covid symptoms every day across the UK. That is 1,000-a-day more than a week ago.
- The Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates 224,000 people in homes in England had the virus, up to 1 October. That is roughly double the figure reported for each of the last two weeks, and suggests hopes of a "levelling off" last week may have been a false dawn.
- The ONS estimates that 1/500 people is infected in Wales and Northern Ireland.
22,000 new cases a day (including unrecorded) - that's more than THREE TIMES the worst daily figure in March .....
It seems that those who want to propagate so-called "herd immunity" may get their wish - at the current rate, 1,760,000 more infections by New Year, 3,740,000 by the end of March

Covid-19: The prime minister is to make a statement to MPs on Monday giving details of new restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus in England.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54486613
A three-tier system will see areas face differing rules based on case severity.
Under the new restrictions, pubs and restaurants could be closed in parts of northern England and the Midlands - where some of the highest number of cases are occurring - while a ban on overnight stays is also being considered.
It is understood that the most severe measures will be agreed with local leaders in advance before they are implemented.
