Max Power Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Didn't Howard say that it was expected that we would have a massive rise over the next few days, before it petered out? All this is divisive, we are dealing with an unprecedented situation and with human beings and their unpredictable behavior. Playing the blame game is just counter productive, I suppose that people sitting at home with nothing to do are going to become rabid though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone care to throw in a really big and depressing number that might give some forum members a real psychological wobble? 87,004 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chief Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Depending on how they want to frame the narrative. 70+ if they want to scare everyone into staying inside. Less than 30 if face saving is more important. Either way it won't be the actual figure for a 24 hour period. Because the 24hr period start and finish is not defined, they could miss 30 results simply by starting the 24hr period an hour later (I believe this has already been done once or twice). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the justification now for not letting people visit, especially if they are vaccinated. Peoples mental health is taking a hammering with another lockdown. What is the harm in letting them see some family members they haven't seen for over a year You cannot mix households. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a brilliant video of HRH The CM, The MBE and Lady Henrietta doing the rounds on WhatsApp, singing to the tune of 'I Will Survive'. Bloody hilarious it is.

Fair point. People really are behaving down here, numbers are low. Haven't seen a tourist in yonks; sadly come summer they'll be everywhere.

No risk from.someone who has isolated and done three tests moving in with someone else if its better for either sides wellbeing. My mum isn't able to see anyone. Its ridiculous. Even the UK at its worst allowed support bubbles. Now we aren't even letting some kids under 18 see their own parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
