It's back to a late night shop once a week for me...and I think I'll need to stock back up on the uht milk again.

Too many seem to have a "I couldn't care less" attitude near me.

Tough times ahead...but I think we knew that...

Was in Durham and Gateshead last week for work. It was like being in two different worlds, in Durham there were masks everywhere you looked and social distancing aplenty; in Gateshead it was like Covid 19 doesn’t exist.

Was in my local Asda the other day. Was lunch time and 5 work guys just barrelled in together, picked up half a dozen items while choosing what they wanted. Not one had a mask on.

We will be under special measures in no time.

looks like its coming....

Local lockdown-style restrictions including a ban on socialising with anyone outside your household are set to be imposed across the North East, ChronicleLive understands.

A 10pm curfew is also due to be imposed on pubs, restaurants and other licensed premises.

The current plan is for measures to come into force just after midnight on Friday morning - September 18, in a bid to reverse a dramatic spike in coronavirus cases across the region.

Newcastle, Northumberland, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Gateshead, County Durham and Sunderland are all expected to be included.

No official announcement has been made about the plans, and nothing will be confirmed until a statement is issued by the Department for Health and Social Care.

full story is on the newcastle chronicle website....

Being sensible will not stop the spread. The testing system is a shambles and people are unable to get tested. I am a front line worker and get tested weekly but need to wait 5/6 days for the results which is not good enough.

Nice to see the governments tactic of getting people to blame each other and turn on each other is going well go to work, send kids to school, commute (work!), shop for food and my favourite: all go eat out at a Discount rate but only on three days - who’s idea was that!

Rate goes up, it’s the people’s fault.

They’ve stopped listening because it’s nonsense; inconsistent nonsense!

Wear your mask and get on

They are tightening the lockdown in the North East when 1 person died who had tested positive for covid. Notice they don't even say it was caused by covid. It was probably an octogenarian who caught it whilst in hospital for some other disease that was what actually killed them.

Unbelievable, imagine if in March they had tried to lock down because 1 person died who happened to test positive. We wouldn't have stood for it, and we shouldn't now.

That's not strictly true,a huge rise in new cases of covid is behind the government plan to enforce another lockdown in the Northeast

When lock down was announced there were around 50 deaths in total. We locked down far too late it turns out. The death rate at the moment is 20 to 30 a day and going up. We probably should lockdown again but the economy wouldn't stand for it.

It doesn't sound very serious when you get this in the local paper.

The number of Covid-related deaths at South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust remains at 325.

The last death to be recorded by the trust was on Sunday, June 21.

That is technically right. But was 30 monday and 20 Tuesday. The rolling average will be a lot higher by the end week.

It was almost exactly the same the previous Monday and Tuesday as well this due to the lag in death reports over the weekends. Over the week it went back down to single figures per day and the rolling average is correct at 11.1 . The same will happen this week as all the previous week's in recent months.

I was in the North-East last weekend.

Far too many people on the public transport and in shops not wearing masks.

It was if Covid didn't exist in Newcastle city centre last Saturday afternoon.

Not blaming any specific group other than those who choose not to do the right thing, either through ignorance or arrogance!

The infection rate in Sunderland last week was 72 ppl per 100000.....

When the government figure is 20 per 100000 for a country to go on the quarantine list, there has most definitely been a big spike in cases up here

The interesting thing now is going to be if the Scottish government advises people not to cross the border.... in effect everything between the border and Northallerton for Scots is no go

Because death or perfect recovery aren't the only two options for Covid. There can be significant recovery time and permanent health issues.

What does it matter what the infection rate is if people aren't dying?

Because death or perfect recovery aren't the only two options for Covid. There can be significant recovery time and permanent health issues.

Thank you for pointing that out..... why some people think this is juvenile

As for the record, south Tyneside figure was 93.4, Sunderland was 82.1, Newcastle was 75, even Durham was 63.4 so the area is lighting up

South of Durham you have teesside / middlesbrough / stockton-redcar/ cleveland

What are the numbers for them _abio ??

Don’t have them to hand but I do know that Middlesbrough and Hartlepool were both on the concern list, so I am surprised they didn’t go forward with all the other local councils "

Maybe it's because the boro have a match on Saturday which will have a 1000 crowd.

Not saying that is the reasoning...but hey can any of us work out the logic on this now...

Not aimed at you, but I hope more people can learn to distinguish the disease from the government.

The government are incompetent corrupt lying buffoons who are criminally mismanaging this. (Westminster at least)

The disease is still a threat and the higher the cases get the more of a threat it is.

I'm not taking this seriously because I love BoJo. I'm taking this seriously because I don't want to a) give someone a disease which might lead to their death or the onset of long term health consequences/ disability, or b) cause the numbers to rise and our lives to continue to be on hold.

I want us to have our lives back and to be healthy. As many of us as possible. I play my part by keeping my germs to myself. BoJo and Co can go fuck themselves.

Middlesbrough should have joined it...I think it's a political decision by the mayor as we are on the map this weekend due to the riverside being one of the few stadiums in the country allowing supporters through the turnstiles...

I agree - my suggestion is more to do with the local authorities than the people.

County Durham has a lower infection rate per 100,000 than Middlesbrough and Hartlepool and yet DCC are happier to ask for restrictions where Middlesbrough/Hartlepool have done more to reduce their rates allowing them to prove to government they are proactively dealing with the situation and don’t need to have wide spread disruptive restrictions placed upon them

No we dont ..the funny thing in Middlesbrough is, only a week or so back the mayor was bleating on that we are heading for a mini lockdown...then nothing as changed to the rest of the north east apart from a football match with a crowd has come into the picture.

Nice try..... almost exactly wrong in every way.....

It was the 7 north east councils themselves as a group that went to the government asking for the extra powers to put in the extra restrictions .... in which the government said yes... that is why the restrictions went in today

As opposed to what has happened in the north west and West Yorkshire... where the government has waited on the new figures and enforced the restrictions.... which is why their restrictions which are the same as ours don’t go on till Tuesday....

Why tees valley didn’t want to be part of the group might be a more interesting question

Wrong in every way ????

Didn’t I already note in my posts :

- Middlesbrough/Hartlepool - asked not be included in lockdown as they were able to show that despite a high infection rate - it is reducing by the actions they are already taking.

- The other north east authorities asked to have extra lockdown measures despite the fact that one of them DCC has a lower infection rate than some in Tees valley

Anyway the point of which is to say that some of these authorities may not be engaging as fully as they could be doing in the way that Middlesbrough and Hartlepool are, and are doing everything possible to avoid government imposed restrictions

Wait till the, students are back in full force.We locals, have to go into lockdown so we can invite them from all over the place. Surely infection rates will rocket then. Social distancing will go right out of the window.they will be in and out of one another's houses partying. They will be all over the pubs. If this government wants infection rates to go down surely this is a no no. Why are durham County Council happy to go along with this whilst locking local residents down. Do they honestly think these students will abide by the rules. Oh I forgot its all about the money here. Don't try and kid us you are worried by our health

Nearly 20000 students, due in Durham in the next couple of weeks. What are durham county council playing at. We locals cannot meet anyone outside of our household yet here we go nearly 20000 people from all over the place can descend upon our county unchecked. If this council and, this government want the, infection rate to go down why is this happening. Can you see many students abiding by our new rules. This is a recipe for disaster waiting to happen.

"There is a fine balance .

so it's, OK for the, students, to go here, there and everywhere and we can't. This is a joke. Just like our enept government. Take, a look at the UK map today where lockdown is in effect. There, are, small local pockets everywhere except the North East. Yes we will soon be joined by Lancashire. But nothing on this scale anywhere else in the country. This isn't a local lockdown up here. It's a whole bloody region. These, seven councils that went pleading to the government have shown their true colours. They are, unable to bring about any rules themselves for local lockdowns like most other councils in the UK. So the question must be asked now are our councils that useless are They fit for purpose. Durham County Council have had a knee jerk reaction here. We have a low R Rate in this county compared to a lot of places in the country. Neighbouring Tees valley and teesside have, a, higher rate yet their councils have said they dont wish to be included alongside, us, as they believe they are capable of dealing with this themselves, without the need to go bleating to this pathetic government begging for help. We have now become the lepers of this country. I do not believe for one moment that this increase in cases stems from the home.most people in the n East have behaved reasonably well during the early lockdown. Just look at all the idiots flocking to beaches, down south where distancing went right out of the window. We have, been told thia area is in this, for at least four weeks just in time for the national lockdown They are considering having at half term in October. If this virus is, only half as bad as they are making out would you want 20000 outsiders descending on you. I think not. Scotland have, advised all Scots to think twice about going over the border into Northumberland but Durham gladly welcomes all and sundry. This, isn't going down well with locals I can tell you. There, are a lot of unhappy folk up this way
