Just pick a number ... everyone else seems to be doing so ... the range and variety in figures of quoted data could leave one believing EVERYBODY is just guessing.

What's going on is most likely an attempt to appear in control when in fact its all a 'best guess' sort of deal. I just thought it was interesting that the UK rate is higher than Sweden which has recently experienced a sharp peak.
Covid is an equivocator's wet dream.

None of these charts and statistics mean very much at all, anyone can make anything up - and so they do. I bet people are more scared of getting stopped by the Police on their car journey and getting a fine and named-and-shamed, than they are of the virus. This is how governments keep the little people in control. There's nothing wrong with admitting you can't read a graph drawn up from facts. We understand there are many reasons people don't do well at skule. Dyslexia, dispraxia, cleverbutcantbearsedia, justthickia. "You can sleep with your wife but can’t play tennis with her, boffins scare us with graphs then change them..." "The idea that the NHS is overrun, she (Shelley Tasker) said, is a pack of lies. ‘I can tell you now that at the height of the pandemic I had no work because there were no patients. Yesterday the chief executive of the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust confirmed that in the county’s main hospital there are just seven patients suffering from coronavirus, three of them in intensive care. Yet on the strength of that minuscule number of cases, a county of 565,000 people is being shut down. Businesses are again closing their doors and many will never reopen. Cornwall, like the rest of the country, is braced for a jobs bloodbath." "The graphs they presented on Halloween, and used to bounce Boris Johnson into ordering another lockdown, were wildly exaggerated and have subsequently been revised downwards, under cover of darkness." " Or, as Shelley Tasker, would say: ‘All lies.’ "

Yesterday I dropped Jane at work and then called at Asda.
The shop was fairly busy, but no queuing and all depatments were open ... pretty much a normal day.
Today I popped to Tesco, the shop was fairly busy but no queuing to get in, however I discovered they have closed off their clothing section (upstairs).
As customers are already in the shop spending their money, I am curious how buying clothing is a greater covid risk than buying sweets, booze, hair products , tobacco etc. ?

Rog Its because the non food clothes shops are closed..its to balance things and be fair....apparently Down here in Wales in Tescoes we could buy booze but not books But if I went into the post office I could buy books...but not booze ..not that the post office sold booze but I just thought of that bit.

Our wonderful government stated this 'cordoning off' in shops would not happen in England.
Tesco know better.

Well I went to explore Cambridge military hospital in Aldershot the other night and stayed out later than expected.
Got pulled over at 2am on the way home. Couldn't think of a reasonable excuse so told him the truth. That we were trespassing to take photos of the old hospital prior to its conversion.
Ended up chatting for 20 minutes and showed him my pictures. He said he wouldn't lecture us on covid as we seemed decent folk but did warn us to be more careful as other coppers aren't so nice.
I'm guessing we passed the attitude test.
