Coronavirus spike in my area

[TomorrowIsAnotherDae]

NHS-NoReply message yesterday telling people to get tested even if not showing symptoms. No need to make an appointment. Nothing at all in the local news or on NHS website about this.

Large Jewish community and the spike comes just after Purim. Neighbours who have gone for tests were told that there have been lots of gatherings (I witnessed one at the local Jewish Girls school late one night and reported, the police didn’t turn up). It’s Passover in a couple of weeks. I think that my area will end up in local lockdowns for quite a while.

This is on top of anti-vaxx leaflets being pushed through doors in my area telling people that the vaccine is dangerous, ineffective and has killed hundreds of people.

I’m pissed off and venting.

It doesn’t look too bad here?

“Showing an increase of 9.1% in the past week in my immediate area. Hopefully there will be a clampdown before Passover.“

Yeah, I just meant that the actual rate isn’t very different from the other higher areas around the U.K.

Still worrying, of course.

That’s a really interesting article. I don’t think it can all be down to deprivation and overcrowding, as that must apply to many other areas. I suspect, as mentioned above, that it’s more to do with a way of life that is incompatible with lockdown regulations.
