What do you think the chances are North East will move out of tier 3 on December 16th?

Cases going down consistently in Sunderland, Newcastle and Durham. Dramatically down in some areas of the north east. As far as I can see no areas going up or even staying the same in terms of cases.

If they go on figures, then yes. But I don’t think they will. But I am a pessimist.

We should but I don't believe we will.

Come and join us on the northeast thread in the coronavirus topic if you haven't found us already.

I’ve been having a nosey around the interactive map. Cases do seem to be dropping in many tier 3 areas in the north and rising in tier 2 areas in the south.. Some areas not all. But where I am in Bucks now has more cases per 100,000 than many areas in the North that are in tier 3. Seems very unfair to you.

I don’t think they’ll move areas down unfortunately probably just move more areas in the South and London in to tier3 to try and curb spread one last time before the Christmas madness.

I’d rather we didn’t have all these long term restrictions just for 5 days of mixing.

Given that where we live on Tyneside now has free cases than most London boroughs in tier 2 I hope so. I do think that maybe Tyneside might and Teesside might not though Hartlepool for example doesn't look too good

I've heard of more cases in the last 3 days than I have for months. Between me, dp and a handful of friends who all teach in the North east... college and school numbers are rising

I really hope so.

I just want to go for a walk with my toddler and pop in to a coffee shop to warm her up for half an hour.

Is that too much to ask Boris?

At first I might have said yes until today when year 6 Ds2 has been sent home to isolate...again! And then dd (year8) has came out of school saying the year 7 bubble has a positive case and were sent home (years 7&8 are bubbled). Dd thinks she might have had a small amount of contact with the child in year 7 but hasn't been told to isolate, we're keeping her off the rest of the week now as we're starting to get a bit twitchy again. Luckily they break up on Friday anyway.
