Yep, and I've no idea if I'm meant to go to work tonight or not as last time I was classed as an essential worker yet my jon clearly isn't essential.

My company just has massive pull within the government and as with everything else, they fiddle stuff to suit themselves.

It actually solved quite a bit. The death and infection rates dropped a lot. Everything increased again when we came out of lockdown

It will stop the NHS being overwhelmed with Covid patients.

It will help stop doctors deciding who lives and who dies due to a lack of ventilation beds.

It will allow ambulances to tend to heart attack victims and the like.

Hope that clears it up for you

Think of a prison with restrictions.

Think of a prison on lockdown.

This country hasn't had any lockdowns.

Just difference in severity of restrictions.

A lockdown(I.e noone leaving home for ANY excuse and with food,meds etc. brought to the home may work).

These restrictions dont.

And never will.

Blaming a handful of mask less people at a rave whilst the vast majority conforms only highlights that.

It did actually help to get the virus somewhat under control but then our genius government opened everything back up and did eat out to help out and fucked it all up again. Lockdowns are just temporary measures though as it will start to spread again after. Most countries have managed to keep that much more under control than us though.

Well said! This word 'lockdown' has been used incorrectly since day one. We haven't had a lockdown, just restrictions. A lockdown would mean we wouldn't be allowed out for ANYTHING similar to what they had in France. Too much of this 'everyone elses fault but mine' attitude by the Great British public or the moronic conspiracy theorists who think the worlds leader have all got together to plan the whole thing!

Then do the right thing yourself. You don't have to rely on their messaging. Internationally it's clear that masking, distancing, and ventilation make a big difference. So do so. It's what I'm doing.

Apparently the nightingale hospital is on standby. And as for the retired staff who are called upon. They have to provide a numerous amount of references before they can be considered to come back and help. Very frustrating when a retired gp with many years of experience fails to provide many due to retirement what a joke

We booked one today. Next date was 17th January. Looks like I'm back to doing the Aldi run for my wheelchair basketball mate, as he doesn't have the freezer space or kitchen space to store much so needs a weekly shop.

Op needs to revisit the data and understand it better.

The 1st lockdown was our best attempt at controlling the out of control increased infection levels.

As we now have vaccine which will help to stop the typical people who have been getting seriously ill and losing lives in hospital, this means that hospitals will be able to gradually reduce the number of patients with serious levels of disease. They will also be able to return to their more normal functioning and sevices. The country will suppress the rate of increasing infection levels too, with more people able to work and live more happily

Our state did it without stay at home orders. After watching and reading about UK covid mitigation it's not being too effective is it ? Grant it we view it as another danger to daily life. Hence the higher case counts in the states. Cali has similar lockdowns to yours and it's not that effective.

Not sure where you're getting your news, the first one did what it was supposed to do.

Unlocking happened too quickly possibly. Eat out to help out looks a mistake but the cases rose in September when schools reopened.

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact

Our Government and our population don't see a need to act until we reach scary numbers. The Far East panic and enter lockdown mode at a mere fart. And then we debate and dither. The mutant strain was unexpected so I'll give them that but once we had confirmation we should have acted sharply. Letting people have their Christmas was always going to spell trouble. I hope everyone enjoyed their turkey together though.

Well anyways no lockdown it was deemed unconstitutional. This is why the states has higher case counts. We mitigated as best as we can until a time the counts went down with minimal effect on the states economy. So how is it that the UK suffering through constant lockdowns should be the gleeming hope of how the virus should be contained.

My very brief research into Covid in Pennsylvania says that there are still quite a number of restrictions still in place, somewhere between tiers 2 and 3 of the UK system, perhaps?

I found the following article which was available to view in Europe:

"After weeks of record high coronavirus case numbers, the pandemic in Pennsylvania is finally starting to ebb — but the commonwealth isn’t out of the woods yet.

Currently, there are 5,529 people hospitalized in Pennsylvania with COVID-19, nearly double the peak last spring. The statewide percent positivity rate for COVID-19 tests is 15%. But both of those numbers are now trending down, Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine announced Monday.

“Our hospitals and health care systems continue to be significantly challenged,” Levine said. “But they are maintaining excellent services and care.”

The commonwealth is reporting 7,805 new COVID-19 cases over the weekend. However, Levine said the database system used to register cases underwent maintenance on Sunday, and that might have artificially lowered the case count. Officials expect case counts to be higher than normal on Tuesday as a result.

The state is reporting 122 fatalities due to COVID-19 over the weekend. The reporting system for deaths was not affected by maintenance.

On Monday, Philadelphia reported 1,576 new cases, including test results reported since Thursday. The city announced 37 new fatalities during that period as well.

Despite the declining statewide numbers, Levine said she was concerned that cases may spike again as people start to get sick after traveling or gathering for the winter holidays.

“What we need to do now is to continue all the mitigation efforts … stay at home, do not participate in large or small gatherings,” Levine said. “We will be watching our numbers really closely to see if there is a holiday bump or not.”

Trending down without stay at home orders which the state can't recommend anymore.the restrictions here were just indoor dining and gyms the whole time since the spikes.

On Monday, Philadelphia reported 1,576 new cases, including test results reported since Thursday. The city announced 37 new fatalities during that period as well.

Despite the declining statewide numbers, Levine said she was concerned that cases may spike again as people start to get sick after traveling or gathering for the winter holidays.

“What we need to do now is to continue all the mitigation efforts … stay at home, do not participate in large or small gatherings,” Levine said. “We will be watching our numbers really closely to see if there is a holiday bump or not.”

Trending down without stay at home orders which the state can't recommend anymore.the restrictions here were just indoor dining and gyms the whole time since the spikes.

Oh and virtual schooling."

So not all this lot then?

Also the following stats might explain why the state of Pennsylvania has found mitigation easier than England (where we live)

Pennsylvania area: 46,055 sq

Population: 12,801,989

Population density: 284/sq mi

England area: 50,301 sq mi

Population: 56,286,961

Population density: 1,118.9/sq mi

In the city of Manchester, the population density is 12,260/sq mi and the wider Greater Manchester area has a population density of 10,490/sq mi

To put it another way, the two places (Pennsylvania and England) have only marginal differences in land area, but England over has a population density of around 4 times greater. My locale has a population density ten times higher again. Can you see the issue, when we're dealing with a virus that thrives on close contact between hosts?

From mcall.com :

"What’s reopening today in Pennsylvania as coronavirus restrictions are lifted

By BETHANY AO

PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

JAN 04, 2021 AT 5:33 AM"

.

'However, Philadelphia officials have extended the ban on some activities until Jan. 15, saying they anticipate a spike in coronavirus cases from Christmas and New Year’s Day. All of the regulations are subject to change depending on case numbers, said city Health Commissioner Thomas Farley.

Here are the details on which businesses will be reopening on Monday:

Indoor dining won’t be allowed in Philadelphia just yet as city leaders have pushed back the expiration date of COVID-19 restrictions another two weeks.

The end date for the ban on indoor dining is set to expire on Jan. 15, although that could be sooner, depending on case numbers for the next two weeks.

Outside of Philadelphia, including the Lehigh Valley, indoor dining will be allowed at self-certified restaurants at 50% capacity, while restaurants that have not been self-certified are allowed to have indoor dining at 25% capacity. Customers can only drink alcoholic beverages at a bar or a restaurant if it is part of a meal, and restaurants have to stop serving alcohol by 11 p.m.

Gyms, which closed for nearly a month in December as cases continued to increase in the city, will be reopening in Philadelphia and around the state on Monday under revised COVID-19 restrictions. They will be allowed to operate at 50% capacity, and the state government is encouraging appointments and an emphasis on outdoor activities.

Any personal-care services, including hair salons and barbershops, must operate at 50% capacity, including in Philadelphia. Customers must make appointments, according to state regulations.

Philly museums will be allowed to reopen on Jan. 4, but theaters and casinos have to wait until Jan. 15. Indoor gatherings will also continue to be banned until Jan. 15.

Casinos, theaters, and museums outside of Philadelphia will be allowed to reopen at 50% occupancy starting Monday.

Outdoor sports can also resume , according to both state and city regulations. In-person sports will continue to be banned until Jan. 15 in Philadelphia.

High schools in Philadelphia can resume in-person teaching, but colleges will have to hold off until Jan. 15. Schools in the rest of the state are subject to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and commonwealth guidance or must offer only fully remote instruction.'

I think the problem from the very beginning is that people misunderstood what a lockdown was for.

The lockdown back in March was never meant to stop the virus and we were never told it was going to, We were told that it would stop the NHS getting overwhelmed and that when restriction started being relaxed, We were told that if things changed restrictions would be put back in place and may have been. Because of the Lockdown last march we managed to flatten the curve but we got complacent.

If anything,it shows the nhs is not fit for purpose.

It's been needed disbanding and replacing for years.

A vast majority of its users dont pay into it.

I'd save £2k a year which I could easily go private for me and my own.

I'm not bothered about "saving lives" at the expense of wasting mine and I'm not bothered about "saving the nhs".its an out of control monster of an organisation.

Why don't you bugger off to another country if you no longer want free at the point of use healthcare, save a spot for a more deserving person?

"The first one solved nothing so what’s this one going to solve "

You really do show your lack of a basic understanding here OP. Lockdown has never been or been branded as any kind of solution... it’s societies “treading water” whilst we wait for the boat to pick us up... is it really that difficult a concept to grasp?

The rates will only drop slightly as manufacturing is still operating. Most will have put controls in place after the first lockdown, but people don’t follow rules.

Yes. More people will be still going to work this time, so I agree with you. It's obviously not a full lockdown, but people have to work.

Bullshit.

Cardiff Nightingale was dismantled.

Non-conformists....?

Where in the rules does it say I can't go out to work? Sadly I can't magically shake the money tree. I don't get paid for not working sadly.
