Having travelled to Liverpool last week it was noticeable the lack of mask wearing.

Is it time to create area lockdowns for such areas and prevent them travelling South and spreading the disease outside of their areas

Fine by me..I've no intention of visiting the south.

For areas that either cannot comprehend the rules or choose to ignore them yes it should result in both sanctions and prevention to areas that have lower infection figures .

At the start of the pandemic, it was the south driving infection rates yet the whole country went into lockdown. The northern area I live in had bugger all Covid during the height of the thing in April/May. It's increased here now and so maybe we'll have lockdown again? Who knows? But why only us when we were locked down for the good of the whole nation earlier on?

At the beginning it was a wake up call to all of the uk

Now it needs to be certain area's unfortunately looking like the north

Some of the south have low infection rates(not all),it's better for the economy,which is already struggling and hasn't recovered from the full lockdown,to keep some area's that are low open as much as possible

Its the lack of a ferret down the trousers that has seen the large covid spike up North as ferrets are known to ward it off.

No. The virus needs to spread so we gain immunity. Good news we’re seeing a rise in infections.

Mask wearers also seem to forget the virus is airborne and can enter your eyes.

The virus is not Airborne!! It is spread through Respiratory droplets. It enters eyes when those droplets are passed from hands for example direct to the eye. If it was airborne we would be seeing a lot higher infection rate!

Mounting evidence suggests coronavirus is airborne — but health advice has not caught up.

Governments are starting to change policies amid concerns that tiny droplets can carry SARS-CoV-2. And after months of denying the importance of this, the World Health Organization is reconsidering its stance.

South

Sigh... it’s to do with the rate of infection when schools opened as that is the national catalyst. South was hit first in the spring and then the north therefore the south’s infection rate was lower come September and the stupid move of opening all schools. We had a buffer in the south the north didn’t.

There were rules in place to stop it.

No one was allowed to go to a second home or spend the night anyone else other than home.

So they try to stop it but how do you police it.

Quote from source- "short-range aerosol transmission cannot be ruled out in crowded, poorly ventilated spaces"

It still refers to aerosol transmission so therefore still needs liquid to transmit it. If it were truly airborne it can survive in the air and be carried on air currents.

It does not matter why, it does not matter how fair it is, or is not. All that matters is the Boris and his army of northern hating tory MP's have decided what is going to happen.

Boris does what he wants, he does not care about me and you, he does not care about the scientific evidence, he publishes figures that support his arguments and supresses ones that do not (like all politicians); there are fewer tory voters in the north fewer companies who support the tories based there, so why would he care.

He can do whatever he wants and no one can argue; blame all the people, north or south who voted for him and his marry band, they are the issue huge majority, no opposition, no checks or controls just absolute power to one man to do what HE wants !

The local council doesn't have the power to enforce or demand any higher lockdown than central Govt mandates for the area though, so unless the Govt mandates something extra for Nottingham, anything the council puts in place would be a recommendation only. At least that's how I understand things.

From the early reports, it Liverpool being locked up for the foreseeable future. Whatever the new tier system and all the scaremongering it only one city area, I'm not sure what the difference or effect will be. I feel for those in Liverpool as its just not right to lockdown one area. These local locdowns are not working and have led us to this. It's going to get a lot worse too, this town that area, its a joke now.

The Scottish Govt has different powers though, far more wide ranging than any English council when it comes to the Coronavirus situation. Likewise with licensing. They probably can revoke all alcohol licenses for a period, but they can't close businesses (unless they break licensing laws) and they certainly can't unilaterally close non licensed venues like cafés or restrict opening hours. They also can't impose travel restrictions in the way the Welsh Govt has, as they don't have those powers. Without the central Govt mandate, English councils have little additional power.

Our cafés etc have licenses in terms of planning/building use, yes, but nothing I'm aware of that a local council could use to demand immediate closure, unless they were infringing environmental health regulations. The Coronavirus Act doesn't give additional powers to local Govt and again, it's my understanding that the current restrictions in Glasgow and Edinburgh are being implemented by the Scottish devolved Government, rather than the individual councils, although now its mandated by the government, the councils can enforce it. The devolved Governments in Scotland, Wales and NI have devolved powers surrounding how to act re: coronavirus, hence the vastly differing policies on things like quarantine after travel etc. The leader of Nottingham Council was on the news on Friday saying he'd welcome the powers to make local decisions, but that he simply did not have those powers. The same was repeated in Leicester when they were put into separate measures and I know here, when we had higher sanctions, it was the same.

Places that were hit hardest the first time around are seeing less vigorous escalation of cases now because there's a small (about 20% ) of immunity going on, it makes the r number harder to get higher because 1 in every 5 are immune, the northern areas which saw only 3-6 infection rates are yet to have this benefit.

Sometime after winter id expect around 25% infection levels nationwide which means this virus is pretty much done for hopefully on the big scale.

furlough was extended to the end of october at the beginning of the summer so if that arguement had been going on for months its seems like it was a wasted effort "

Furlough bring extended only counts if an individual was already furloughed at least once before 30th June. The scheme closed to new entrants then. So, someone who was, say, made redundant and got a new hospitality job on 1st July would not qualify for furlough if their bar, café or whatever was closed now. That's the same even if that person was furloughed before by a different employer too. So, furlough is only relevant to those with the same employer and furloughed prior to the 30th June. The last announcement about recompense for employees etc where businesses are shut down was they'd get 2/3 salary? That's not enough if you only earn min wage in a pub etc. And in this town, all our hospitality was closed in the busiest summer months already and our workers got sweet FA (unless they'd been furloughed before). The people of this town simply cannot afford for their jobs to be scrapped for the third time since March. We were closed down completely, hospitality wise, because we reached an arbitrary figure of 70 or 80 per 100,000. Now the whole country is almost at that rate, yet everywhere is open (for now). How does that work? Due to the utter lack of joined up thinking, we already have significant inequality as to how areas with the same rates have been treated only within a short few weeks and you have the potential for some businesses to be forced to close for a third time in 7 months. Some sort of proper consistency needs applying here.

Apparently this was something that has been agreed with various local leaders who argued that people were meeting in homes contrary to restrictions. It’s hoped that by allowing them to meet in gardens, it will help prevent this.

people like him deliberately break the law but if you have a dinner party with 7 the police may break your front door down and fine you x amount.

mr west wa reported to the met police but as per usual they did fuck all so there is your answer.

"Quite strange you can only catch covid in a boozer where you cant Get a mixed grill. "

Okay. One last time. The thinking behind it is that . . .

1. People are much less likely to drink to excess in a Restaurant therefore less likely to breach their own common-sense rules and approach to social distancing.

2. They are also much less likely to say to each other . . . 'Wow that was a great Curry let's have a House Party co's the Restaurant is shut'.

If you didn't exclude News that doesn't suits the answer or the Political outcome that you want, then you haven't heard the News at all.

No 1 makes no sense as to pubs which sell food and pubs which dont.

No 2 is just insane.

As i said before you either shut everything or keep everything open if you try to balance the two then there has to be a line, that happens to be the line im sure there has been some clever people working on the data to come up with that or do you think they just put some ideas in a hat and pick one.

In the Pub where they sell Peanuts you can order 7 pints as well.

Here's the clever bit Lionel, in the Pub that is also operating a Restaurant you can ONLY order a drink with your meal.

Leave it to the Boffins . . . to work this stuff out.

The serving of alcohol is commensurate with the duration of your meal.

When was the last time you went for a meal and drank 7 pints?

And you know because you are THE 'Expert' and can advise that the advice they give is just plain wrong.

Ps. The whole World is suffering from 'Expert' fatigue.

When we all should be profiting by from ordinary people using common sense and keeping plain and simple social distancing rules until a workable vaccine is found.

How have France, Spain, Belgium, Italy etc. Try looking outside the uk and see how many other countries have the same only drink with food local restrictions which is what you cant seem to understand and think its unique to England.

Surely they have a different culture in europe?

They don't really have the 'local pub' culture we have here.

And if we are following their path why do we have one of the worst rates in Europe?

No actually they don't have a 'different culture' with 'pub's' in any of the countries you mention. I have spent lots of time in all of them except Belgium and people get just as pissed and party like as we do, In Germany except for the Architecture of the Bar you were in and people all speaking German it feels exactly like at home.

And Yes. we have 'ONE' of the worst rates - but that says more about us as individuals not doing what we shoud be doing to protect each other.

Germany - merkel wrestling with the federal states over a ban on internal travel.

Doesnt matter what the results are for any of the other countries - its clear the challenges we face and finding a balance are being felt by other countries in the same way.
