What does your case rate graph look like?

The thing is that there are areas in the world where schools are back and the graph doesn't do that. In order for schools to be open, though, you need high compliance everywhere else. And the goodwill is all gone in the UK. If it was ever there in the first place. You also need luck, and the UK didn't have that either.

Like this kind of a bit wobbly

Still Tier 3 though

In a part of London that until this month had comparatively low rates

Wow. Something has to happen doesnt it. There's news all over the place that the nhs is struggling with the numbers and those graphs show the steep incline...

My friend lives opposite our local hospital so I'm getting "loads of ambulances parked outside, doctors in PPE going into them" WhatsApp reports.

😔 That tallies with the news reports.

So many people on the school closure thrreads/online seem blind to this. Or have an "Im alright Jack" attitude to it.

We were tier 1 until the whole of Scotland went into tier 4

London

Brentwood in Essex

More interestingly -look at the hatched area which shows what deaths typically are at this time of year in this area. Completely in the normal range. Tier 4 area.

Here's ours for my local area

Here's the All England version comparing it to the range over the last 5 years.

That last graph is quite clear the covid deaths are on top of the "expected" deaths.

However with the virus spreading theres other knock on effects- my children havent seen their specialist dentist, others have had knee or hip ops postphoned, etc etc.

We need to get the virus down so the hospitals have capacity. Its serious!

I'm in Scotland. Everywhere now in level 4 from boxing day and for 3 weeks. Schools not going back until 18th - online from 11th.

Coventry, West Mids.

Really important to look at the numbers on the left. Mine looked like a big spike but it’s 35 and only goes to 50 on the graph by op’s graph numbers are far higher. Where are you op?

Thanks for this, I went a bit panic blind and then noticed my numbers on the left only go up to 25.

Lockdown 2 seemed to halt the spread here. Cases are high, but until even more people are actually dying the government will keep schools open while stuffing the economy.

Cornwall.

The peaks coincide with October half term and the Christmas holidays.

Ours are pretty good thankfully.

We were Tier 2 until Boxing Day. I don’t even know anyone who has had Covid at this point. I work in a school and we have had no cases and none in DC’s schools either.

Greater Manchester- been in enhanced measures since July.
