Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

Actually i think a lot can go wrong and probable will but the news media will not be all over that .
Right now their is a widespread cull of poultry and exclusion zones set up, due to bird flu who is worrying about that?

Maybe they've all had the virus and so.....they don't need the vaccine?

nvm

This guy's amazing. "What do your family think?" "They don't know, I forgot to tell them".

Would you share what you’ve identified could/probably will go wrong?

Big jump in cases today, no?

saw that, too early for it to be because of shops opening and lockdown "ending" ...?

I think it’s the usual end of week peak. We are on an upward trajectory now, after the lockdown. Probably see a big spike after Christmas with another peak in deaths around 2nd to 3rd week of January. We’ll need another lockdown of sorts after the Christmas period to bring the numbers down again, else we’ll be back where we were on the run up to lockdown 2.

the us is fucked, trump has done sweet fa, the hospitals are nearly full and they're getting 200k new cases a day

hope biden takes control a bit more

It kept getting better. The next day, Piers Morgan went to interview him outside his house, and Kenyon asked him who he was.

BBC saying London likely moving into Tier 3 from Wednesday.

Yup, was always on the cards. That’s my wife’s birthday buggered then.

The one time of year that's OK?

Party for 6 in a local park? Preferable to being locked down, trust me.

The decision to allow mixing over the Christmas period is looking ever more stupid and cowardly. Redbridge and Greenwich councils are apparently now closing all their educational settings early in order to allow a firebreak between now and Christmas. The message being "sorry kids, education is important, but not as important as Christmas"?

sorry kids, education is important, but Christmas is importanter.

Ftfy.

Went to the Queen's Head on Saturday - nobody wearing a mask, pub was rammed, no table service, loads of groups mixing, hugging, high-fiving, no food on offer. The (empty) bottle of sanitiser on a stool by the door was the only indication this was 2020. If we hadn't had COVID already, we'd have left, but got a quiet corner and watched it all. This is a pub that's recently been the subject of this story:

But thats only until the 23rd when the whole country then goes into Tier 0

Are there any places predicting COVID tier changes this week?

It’s my wife’s birthday on Thursday but am concerned we may need a back up/ alternative plan as we are meant to be going for a meal in Cheltenham.

I think you should be ok in Cheltenham, cases across most of the south west have been falling over the last month, think most places well below 100 per 100,000, so would put good money on us all staying tier 2.

I saw Omid Djalili do some standup in there a few years back #csb

Tier 3 for London incoming...

And parts of Essex and Herts

Spent a few hours in Dover and Deal on Sunday. I think Kent is in tier 3 already. Definitely saw more people not wearing masks and breaking rules there than I've seen elsewhere so far.

Do people think because some doses of vaccine have arrived in the country it's all over now?
