  and now we have a localized lockdown of leicester. i am all in favour of this. it was months ago i was calling for localized lockdown. and how many months ago was it i said there should be the 'R' numbers given out by region or by city. we learn that leicester, although not having a massive number of cases has a large reproduction of the virus in a small area. so they have locked it down. no mention ( or thought ) as to how they will stop residents and possible covid carriers driving down the road to a shop or pub outside the lockdown area.
  but my main complaint is that we have learned that the government was aware of this localized spike 2 weeks ago, 2 weeks and they did nothing do they not realize that this virus is killing people ? maybe they believe all that crap they came out with in the briefings and the death rate is ONLY 43000 and not the 60,000 plus that many are claiming.
  but i go back to a point i made a few posts ago, they just do not care. they could have acted but it is not important enough to them. our government. Salus populi suprema lex esto.

  OKAY. THESE ARE TODAYS STATISTICS FROM PUBLIC HEALTH ENGLAND. please read so you know the risk in your area.
  STAY ALERT know where the most danger is.
  
  
  Data from Public Health England from the week ending June 21 shows Barnsley, Bradford, Rochdale, Bedford, Blackburn with Darwen, Kirklees, Oldham, Rotherham, Tameside and Peterborough are all showing worrying signs of infections rising.
  
  All ten of the midlands and northern towns and counties have now got more than 38 cases per 100,000 people.
  
  Over 70 per cent of cases are now detected through testing outside of hospitals.
  
  At a local authority level, coronavirus is now highest in parts of West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and in Leicester.
  
  PHE and Department of Health sources told Sky News they had 36 Covid hospots in England where lockdowns could be "just days away".
  
  RISING CASES
  Health officials are keeping a close eye on these hotspots threatening the UK's fight against the bug.
  
  It comes as the UK has been seeing a general trend of falling cases, after months of lockdown restrictions.
  
  Most areas of the country had been reporting a steady decline in infections, but since mid-June, these 10 spots have seen a rise.
  
  The UK coronavirus death toll rose to 43,906 today, after 176 fatalities were recorded in the last 24 hours.
  
  Another 829 infections were also confirmed - although experts fear as many as 3,000 people in England are still catching the bug everyday.
  
  noting to add to the comments i have made previously. but do not ignore this if you live in any of these areas STAY SAFE

  okay, not sure what i have been smoking but it has obviously affected me in a bad way. i have just watched the news and i could have sworn there was a guy on there who said it was not necessary for the public to have the figures that i gave you in the previous post and he went on to say it was important that people did not make decisions based on those figures. What those figures from PUBLIC HEALTH ENGLAND which point out the areas of the country that have a higher than average incidence of a potentially lethal virus and therefore the public have a greater than average chance of dieing there. those figures. what part of 'STAY ALERT' is that ? i mean it is public health England figures that i gave for people to make their own judgement.
  I am now in fear that i am going to end up like Julian Assange and take refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy smearing my own excrement on the walls.
  if you do not hear from me soon, then you know where i am.

  I keep thinking that Boris Johnson's government cannot get any worse. not only have they performed with complete ineptitude as tens of thousands have died unnecessarily ( check out Germany's death rate or read previous posts if you disagree ) but now he has had the temerity to suggest that the care homes themselves were to blame for this scything down of our vulnerable people. do not forget this government said they had 'RING FENCED' the care homes and then let hospital patients back into the care homes with close proximity to those at risk without them being tested. surely it is offensive when we remember how they crowed about how many tests they had carried out in their briefings.

  and now it has been reported that president Bolsonaro of Brazil has tested positive for covid 19. Anyone thing there is a certain amount of 'divine retribution' for the leaders who have been cavalier with the lives of the people they represent.
  we have the new figures out today , the usual ones and the accurate ones. the department of health says that the number of dead from covid 19 is 44, 236. but the more accurate number of the excess deaths during the timeframe is over 65,000 and since most countries non-covid deaths has fallen you can take it that the actual number is higher,

  do you think that the tories themselves are actually embarrassed by the PM ? do you remember when Boris suggested that if we did not get a deal in europe by the end of June we would walk away from negotiations. then along came Michael Gove to say 'no what the PM meant to say was,,,,,,,' and now we have a similar situation. the PM says the indefensible and along comes Matt Hancock to defend him, ' not the PM did not say what you all heard him say it was actually the left and the media twisting it to smear him. Hancock says when he says care homes did not follow the procedure what he meant was there was no way of knowing how many asymptomatic patients had been released back into the care homes. but the government knew that some patients were asymptomatic. Hancock himself said so in the commons in March before the lockdown. so the question remains why were people returned to care homes without being tested ? to put it in a language Boris would understand 'in culpa sint'

  you may know i championed regional lockdown weeks if not months ago and now finally the government has acted in Leicester. not quite with the gusto as the authorities in Germany, there they move in in their contamination suits spraying everywhere and tracked and traced. they locked down in germany where there were 50 or more cases per 10,000 people . in Leicester it is currently 122 cases per 10,000. in fact there are 61 towns and cities in the UK where the infection is above 50 per 10,000. i have been through them all and with the exception of Luton, brent, harrow and sandwell ( there is a place called tamside but i do not know where that is ) they are all in either the north. Scotland or Wales. Isn't it time we started taking this seriously. and lockdown all these areas and the surrounding areas.
  there may be some of you who think the Germans are being overzealous at 50 cases per 10,000 but remember how infectious this virus is. it can soon multiply and it can be deadly. we should take our examples from the countries that have been most successful in dealing with this virus.

  we now have confirmation that there will be an 'INDEPENDENT' enquiry into the corona virus outbreak and the government reaction to it. but we are told that now it not the time to hold this enquiry as the virus is still here and people are still fighting it. This seems to be at odds with a vote he took during the Gulf war. when we were actually in the war he voted for an immediate enquiry. the thing is this enquiry into the covid will not interfere with either the fight against the virus or the morale of those involved in the fight against it. furthermore while it is good news that there will be an enquiry ( eventually ) we have not been told of the scope of the enquiry.

  we have heard the PM say that they are guided by the science. now it emerges that they gagged scientists who wanted to denounce Cummings for his indefensible action of breaking the lockdown.
  an interesting thing ( maybe ) happened in the commons the other day. Matt Hancock was asked about the allegations and instead of denying them he completely ignored the question and did not answer. now lets think. has Hancock suddenly got a conscience and become honest ? or ( and this is just speculation ) is there an undercurrent against Johnson and he does not want to be too close to him.
  again lets speculate. we have brexit coming. if the economy is hit the PM will say it was down to the virus ( his inaction has made the economy worse ) but if the other EU countries economies recover faster than ours. where does he go ? leading brexiteers have already said the economy will be worse after brexit ( they said it after the vote... Rees Mogg says we will see the benefits of brexit after 50 years, another said ' we all knew we would be worse off after brexit' ) contrast this with the bus advert that said the NHS would be better off by 350 million a week. maybe , just maybe the wheels are starting to come off the Boris bus.
