Nottingham North! 🤣
The south begins at Manchester surely?
50/100 000 is very low. It means 75% will be on Red and then those with ten times that amount have nowhere to go.
You'll have the people at the bottom end thinking "oh they're not a proper red level because we're only just in" and the people at the top end thinking "no point trying as we'll never get that low".
It doesn't offer any carrot for following the regulations that I can see.
And actually I'm not sure what I've seen of the regulations in red level actually they're going to make huge differences.
Look how long it took to get down from the peak in April with a full lockdown.
We peaked beginning of April. It took to the beginning of June to get a week under 10k cases a week, and until the end of June to have a week where every day was under 1k cases; we've only had 2 days in total with under 500 cases.
We're looking at around 100k cases this week. Yes, at the peak they're estimating 100k a day, so we're well off that, but I'd still reckon with a full lockdown we'll be looking at December before we see significant decrease now.
