Re: Coronavirus: Third wave will 'wash up on our shores', warns Johnson
Cases start to slowly risehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274
A further 3,542 confirmed cases in the UK were announced by the government on Thursday, up from 2,874 cases reported a week ago.
Several areas, including Bolton, Leicester and Glasgow, are experiencing a surge in cases linked to the so-called Indian variant of Covid-19, also known as B.1.617.2.
Up to three quarters of all new cases are of the new variant, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said on Thursday.
BJ may crow all he likes about how he's protected the NHS, saved lives, fought and beaten the pandemic but he's patently made a big mistake in letting the "Indian variant" into the country - no lesson learned there, then .....
If the 3,000+ cases per day (100,000 a month) persists, the rate of infection will be the same as it was in April/May last year .....

The PM said he saw nothing "currently in the data" to suggest the government would have to delay unlocking.
But he said there were signs of an increase in the number of cases of the Indian variant.
It comes after epidemiologist Prof Neil Ferguson said the reopening of society is now "in the balance".
I've noticed that all announcements from BJ's government end with something like
"At every stage we've been governed by a determination to protect life, to save life, to ensure the NHS is not overwhelmed"
or
"We will continue to deliver the vaccine rollout, tackle the risks posed by variants and support the NHS and social care sector to recover from this pandemic".
It's so noticeable that it's like a mantra - I've started a collection of these (patently untrue) protestations which are designed to hide the reality of the government's disastrous response to the pandemic from the viewing/reading public - BJ and his mates are banking on the success of the vaccine to obscure the appalling deaths and social/economic consequences of the government's lack of planning and direction of the last 18 months .....

They must be in relation to actual population and then the area
available to that population ??
All of which are not in UK's favour, especially if coupled to the
populations behaviour ??
Having said that it seems that that although cases of normal covid
are stable, the Indian variant has started to rise ?
If the vaccine, plus the local lock downs fail now, then we are in shyte
street !!
And l notice that the labour councils are against the local lock
downs ???
Donkeyman! 🤔🤔
