I was not gloating, far from it, being a member of a family with 4 members on the front line who have all had covid19 within the last 4 weeks + 1 Gchild, i gloat at nothing, just wish we could find a solution, and yes like everybody else hoping the vaccine will be our saviour. I was simply quoting facts as reported and hoping England has a better outcome for our 4 weeks of sacrifice.

Judging by the media coverage folk think we’re amidst ‘Lockdown Lite’ in our nearest city Hull(12 miles from me) city folk are carrying on as normal & the main Hospital staff are fearing that at this current rate the Hull Royal Infirmary will be swamped, at or over Liverpool proportions. This time Bojo did put in quite a few ‘get out of jail free’ options to aid the dire situation🤷🏻♂️

Been watching Hull closely Rocky☹️ Not good. It’s one of many areas that are seeing case numbers they haven’t experienced before, at least officially. I see Norfolk is climbing still, and Southern areas now. Yesterday’s case rate was a shocker, up 48% in a day. Dreadful.

I dont go in for hard facts unless they affect my family directly and 5 cases of covid19 within my family to me are the hard facts. My post was only to express a concern that i hoped England would be better placed on the 2nd Dec, the day lock down is supposed to end , but i did see this snippet
"Merthyr Tydfil now has the worst case rate for Covid-19 in the UK"

This is what confuses me because according to local media, Hull now has that claim to ‘fame’ . I’m at a loss, most of the time, knowing which particular set of statistics to believe.

MT’s rate is falling. Blackburn is still higher than anywhere else, (despite being in lockdown longer than most other places) and Hull is extremely high as well. Bristol isn’t looking good either. BBC website map is up to date regarding case rates.

I quoted exactly what was reported on a number of news feeds throughout the UK, and as stated the aim of my post was to express a hope that England would favour better once we come out of lock down,
i also found this snippet on the BBC news feed 21 hrs ago
"There are more patients in hospitals in Wales with Covid-19 than at any time - including the peak of the pandemic."

Why not? I occasionally report extracts from News reports. Personally although I may report them for others, before I eat and digest mine I always season them with salt; particularly from reporters that tart up the contents with their own accompaniments of biased opinion. Find those a tad indigestible

This is more up to date information again from the BBC, is it correct ? who knows, as stated i take them all with a pinch of salt unless it directly affects my family
"The number of Covid patients in hospital (on 10 November) was 1,529 across Wales. This is 14% up overall on the week before"
All those graphs and charts give me a headache much sooner just read a straight forward sentence.
P.S> it does say the source was the Welsh NHS infomatics ?

Of the high numbers in hospital, fewer are on ventilators or in critical care. Only 40% of the levels reached at the height of the first wave
Probably as a result of some of the investigations that were undertaken during the first peak that showed sticking people on a ventilator was not the right thing to do as it was killing people
Snippets and headlines do not give the full picture
well as stated, info given was from Welsh NHS infomatics or you could say straight from the horses mouth

WTG I posted
"latest reports show that there are more people in Welsh hospitals as a result of covid19 now than at any other time "
You posted
"There are more in hospital now because the peak is steeper"
so basically we reported the same statistics

There is not a hope of this virus being "contained?" when as noted today at our local Hospital clinic where i took OH for a blood test whie waiting in reception ,although big signs advising "masks must be worn" several people were stopped by staff when not wearing one ,and made to put one on ,from the hospitals own stock

I read this with interest: here
Children are now more likely than adults to be the person bringing a Covid infection into a household.
However, teachers were no more likely to test positive for coronavirus than other workers, according to ONS data.

Much of it, CS, seems to be what common sense would tell you, except for the low infection rate of teachers. Maybe they're just immune to kids.
Not surprised that parents not badly affected as they should be fairly young(ish). Wonder if anyone done a bit of research to see if Grandparents affected by the GKs.

Yes +1.
I think the low rate for teachers are due to the measures they stick to. The students are kept in one class with all their books with them and the teachers move around. They don't mark books (any work to be marked must have been left for at least 48 hours or more), the teachers must keep to the front of the class often in their marked out area and must not go out of that area to help.

Wish a few of the ones I had as teachers had to keep to the one area. Never liked it when I couldn't see the blighters. Usually meant a clip around the ear.
Edit - Just thinking more about it, it must be really weird for the kids as well.

My daughters school following pretty much the same pattern but she still tested positive some 2 weeks ago, thought she just had a cold but soon realised it wasnt, now has some horrible things like conjunctivitus, hacking cough, but is improving slowly.
