Lockdown again in 5 weeks is possible.

The way things are going (half a million) currently in self isolation already and it’s going to double according to one report I read I n the next two weeks no where will be open for people to go even public transport could be decimated.
 
That article doesn’t seem to mention anything about lockdown in 5 weeks?

Has he actually said something different this morning or has someone in the press misinterpreted or misquoted him?

So where does Chris Whitty say that then … There’s no mention of him saying we will be back in lockdown in 5 weeks at all… not that I can see..

I’ve skipped through it of course, but the headline doesn’t appear to match the reality.

I dunno that's just what I found and I'm taking it n trust. 😃

The OP and the Tweet say that Witty said it. That leads me to believe he did.

Instead of pouring scorn on it because you cannot find it try Googling "Chris witty says lockdown in 5 weeks" and you'll see it's reported all over the media.

OK… Well maybe you should read what the articles that have sensationalised his actual words have quoted him as saying Mac, instead of pouring scorn on me who has done so.

I'm in SI due to being pinged.

The NHS app has recently been updated and is causing problems. To be in SI doesn't mean you are infected.
I was working in a hospital when pinged, in an sterile department wearing full PPE with no patients anywhere near me....that is the problem with the app, it's indescriminate.
I've also had 2 jabs and 4 weeks ago was sat next to a selfish ** who knew he had covid but didn't tell anyone...the reason, he didn't want to lose wages.....
I'm not bullet proof but the figures are being distorted.
 
It came up as a news flash on my computer, not sure of the source, so just reporting what I have seen this morning,.

I can see the numbers are inflated by false pings, but equally the numbers will be understated as not everyone who is in SI has been pinged.

It's also reasonable to assume every new case could/should SI 2 people, so if over 10 days there are 250000 new cases, then you should see 500000 in SI.

As Jaffa says above and I've previously said the benchmark isn't only Hospy impact and deaths, but the economy and SI numbers will impact. I think it's the meat processing sector that is at a 10% staff SI and it's causing problems.

Let's hope the sci bods who say we've hit the peak are right and Chris Scare us Whitless is wrong. Sadly I think he's right.
 
What is the point in a vaccination programme when people are going to start wetting the bed every time case numbers go up (which was always going to be the case with unlocking)?

A case DOES NOT mean in ill person.

And before somebody mentions about hospitalisations going up - it's already been confirmed that the people being hospitalised are younger and are in hospital for a small amount of time before they're sent on their way. Nothing like it was in the previous peaks. Treatments for Covid given in hospital are now also much more successful than they were.

I think it’s a case of us all being as sensible and considerate as possible, including the deniers.
If we want to keep the death rate down and the economy to stay open then we need to do our bit and not take the p*ss from Monday, in my opinion.

Some will take the piss, but they will be the same ones that did the same all through the lockdown, hopefully it won’t effect things much more. If the sensible ones use their noggins we might avoid further restrictions, but I’m far from convinced. It’s the death rate I’ll be watching & serious hospital admissions. We also need to build some slack into the NHS ASAP.

For future reference, we have a thing now which is called “Click Bait”… It’s used by the media to grab attention and attract people to “Click” on a particular News Article.

So headlines can be completely at odds with reality… As is the case here.

It’s best to read the actual article first, before assuming the integrity of the headline 👍
 
Similarly the Rashford wall vandalism being labelled as racist in the `click-bait' media.

Now it has been revealed it wasn't racist.

It's probably a greater number in reality than you suggest, as only 1/10 have the app....I will be uninstalling mine as soon as my si is done.

This wouldn’t have got as many clicks.

it’s a bit like the Clubcall headlines on teletext back in the day.

CHRIS WHITTY, RACIAL ABUSE OF MARCUS RASHFORD

Chris Whitty spoke at a press conferance last night about Covid, whilst Police have confirmed that it appears that the damage to the Marcus Rashford Mural was not of a racial nature.
 
I'd guess it will be lockdown again in 7 - 8 weeks. Early September once the schools are back and all the gammons from Parliament are back from their summer jollies 😟

This is the correct response. Lala for PM.
 
Grimes Butchers in Cleveleys forced to close, as is the Travellers rest pub.

Even Wallings ice cream has had to close its doors.

Roll on Monday eh? 😮😬

Would going to a busy Bloomfield Road be regarded as sensible?
