You are behind the curve.

Told slapsalmon earlier today on another thread that I have literally just topped my remaining 14 rolls with another 24 to get me through to next week.

Are you full of shite ?

There hasn't been a second wave anywhere in the world.
We're not the only country run by an idiot.
So what's the conclusion?

South Korea had a second lot of cases. I hesitate to call either a wave as they controlled their first lot very well. More like first and second ripples?

The headline doesn't match the numbers and action being taken.

It is a sign that they are on top of tracing new cases, even naming a single company as the likelihood as the centre of this cluster. 

79 new cases from 51m people isn't even a "ripple"

I thought it was a spike of under 100 cases which would probably not attract any attention but everyone is hypersensitive right now.

If I am then I'm in good company on here.

Today plenty of people can officially enjoy golf, tennis, fishing, bowls and sunbathing.

Also, this idea you can NOW "meet" other members of your family in public places..............................WTF.

So, before today I could bump into, literally, any stranger in a supermarket but you were not allowed to see a family member while maintaining this magic 2m distance?

What a load of mince, playing at it to look like they, the government, are doing the right thing, that's what this is about. 

Do they really think that people that have family living close by have not "seen" them in the last 9 - 10 weeks?

I have often said that we’re being led by a Buffoon, but you argued against that.

are you belatedly coming round to reality?

They are shutting schools in the area where most of the cases have arisen. Seems a very sensible containment move, and one which I'm sure will be employed by other countries if the same thing happens.

1. Quote

    

   1. More than 200 schools across South Korea are forced to return to online teaching just days after being allowed back in classrooms
   2. Most of the affected schools are in an area outside of Seoul which has seen a fresh outbreak of the virus

Close enough, apologies. 

Naw, naw...

No need for apologies.

You live in Arbroath.  I appreciate that your knowledge of the world is severely limited.

Plus you've taken the philosophy of Father Ted Crilly too literally, perhaps you even thought it was all about you, faraway?

Just because Arbroath seems faraway from London, doesn't mean Arbroath is massive.  It isn't.  Not even in comparison with a suburb of London, such as Chingford where the last few days there have been OPEN pubs and restaurants as I'd said...

London is genuinely a massive place with lots more things happening there than anyone in Arbroath might conceive of...

Last night, draught beer was close to me.  So close it was as good as inside me. 

It is served in plastic pint measures, which then has a film lid sealed on top, for ease of non-spill transportation to the nearest golf tee in the Forest.

 

ETA: There were about 20-30 (mostly lads) standing in the smallish 'beer garden' and along the street outside the pub.  A few other folk joined us in the forest option.  And, I'd guess, lots just took it home.

Instinctively... we indulged in a second pint.

(Those in the pic below, are them.)

Yeah, in comparison to their overall cases it was a significant amount though.

[Guest TPAFKATS]

Excess deaths have spiked up again in all regions of England along with Wales and N. Ireland.
3 weeks after VE day.

Scotland seems to be the exception by not having a 'tick' upwards on the graph.

[faraway saint]

Todays number, 177, makes the average for the last week 231.

Confirming that the relaxation has made no real difference in increasing the numbers. 

Pleasantly surprised.

Where are you getting those numbers?

As far as I can tell there's been no significant increase in either daily deaths or new infections.

Apologies, todays number is 324.

This changes the weekly average to 252.

Yip, one doctor just on TV spouting we could have waited another few weeks before changing the lockdown.

He's one of the hyenas that scramble around trying to find a negative, with only a political angle.

He posted that much shite on here I'm surprised he's not got cholera.

Some clown of a scientist/professor, aye imagine that, claiming relaxation in the UK is too early.

Now, that might be a decent guess but he quoted the CURRENT cases in Italy against the current cases in the UK.

It seems to have slipped his mind Italy started easing restrictions almost a month ago.

It's the UK Gov own figures, or rather graphs. They split it up into 3 devolved nations and regions of England. Wee spikes all over England.

The graph the NHS England dude spoke to yesterday showed a spike for England over last few days, while he said figures continued to fall.
Here's the death figures as a comparison.

Spain 2
Italy 87
Germany 24
France 52
Turkey 28
Belgium 42
Sweden 84
Portugal 14
Ireland 6
Poland 13
Romania 13
Hungary 8
Netherlands 28

UK ... 324


Johnson moves onto easing lockdown another level while his scientific advisors say no. Schools back on Monday, so folk can go to work.
