Re: Corona Virus
The extra time does seem to have made a difference in Scotland. Way too many decisions for England/whole of the UK have been made based on politics and economics rather than saving lives.

Re: Corona Virus
Everyone might already be familiar with this but I wasn't, so in case....it's a really solid dataset of most data you might want to see.

Re: Corona Virus
Oof, extended lockdown in Leicester then, though I'm not clear on how large an area that actually covers.

Re: Corona Virus
So they’re locking down Leicester, but no one knows what that means yet. Do I go to work tomorrow as planned? It’s literally just inside the city boundary.

I was hoping you would know actual details! What a mess.

Re: Corona Virus
All I can see is that non-essential shops must close tomorrow, and schools will close (except for vulnerable/key worker children) from Thursday. Not very helpful!

Re: Corona Virus
I have an update from Friday saying there are 75 inpatients with COVID-19, which is pretty low. But the consultants have said anecdotally that patient numbers are going up.

Re: Corona Virus
The peak was something like 250-300.
They’ve mentioned Oadby, Birstall & Glenfield. None of which are where I live, but I know people who do.

Re: Corona Virus
That's a lot less then but I guess it's the speed it's growing?

Re: Corona Virus
I think it’s based on positive tests rather than hospital admissions. They’ve said the number of cases there are three times higher than the next highest city.

Re: Corona Virus
Given the current mood of the nation I wonder how many people in Leicester will just test their eyes by driving to the next city to go shopping etc.

Re: Corona Virus
He didn't reference that well known test of eyesight! Just that people are likely to travel out of Leicester.

Re: Corona Virus
The main retail park (my previous place of worship) is outside the city boundary.
Coventry, Tamworth, Derby & Nottingham are all close enough to test eyesight.

Re: Corona Virus
Tamworth & Nottingham have castles and shops, so are ideal.

Re: Corona Virus
Someone on the Grimsby local paper website claims that people from Leicester " keep coming here for fish and chips". .
