wonder if they all enjoyed their Christmas and it was all worth it.

1820, that's a lot of people. What the flip is going on.
I am literally getting frightened to go outside!

This is the price paid for not starting lockdown earlier, rather than a sign of its pointlessness. The number of new cases continues on a sharp decline. Right now, that's the measure to pay attention to in terms of the effect of lockdown -- hopefully it will show up in the death figures reducing in February.

Looking at hospitalisations, there's also a sign of that peaking, in line with the lockdown measures.

[ToraToraTora]

the death curve is a fortnight behind the new infections curve. 80k less infected, expect that to feed through to the death figures in a couple of weeks. The effect of the lockdown is not instant.

Indeed, today's figure of 65 deaths a day for the last 28 days is tragic.

//Indeed, today's figure of 65 deaths a day for the last 28 days is tragic.//

What figure is that? There has been an average of 865 deaths a day in the last 28 days.

[sevenOP]

///What figure is that?\\\

'The Government said a further 1,820 people had died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 - the highest number of UK deaths reported on a single day since the outbreak began.'

I asked yesterday, (19:46) if Gness's post to Margie applied to me too
(it is an odd thing to do to show your selfishness and ignorance on a public site.....you may yet get bitten on the bum)

In reply @ 19;51
//If you can't see the wood, Nailit then yes//

Id previously posted that I had continued to work through the lockdown (key worker), visited my sick mother, shopped....as we all have to do...and excersised (literally) by walking in the park etc.

If that makes me selfish, then carry on with your own self imposed imprisonment.
If this thread hadnt still been running tonight then I would have left you to think what you want, but theres no way that You are going to call me selfish for caring for my sick mum, having to work through a pandemic while you hide in the cupboard or getting a bit of fresh air while I can.
Or indeed meeting up with a friends while I can.

[nailit]

FGS, clap for the NHS all you want, but I try and supply food for the needy and care for my mum and Im selfish?????

[AuntPollyGrey]

sevenOP // The Government said a further 1,820 people had died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 //

That means that 1820 reported deaths TODAY of people who have died for any reason and who have had a positive test. It does not mean they all died today, the deaths were was recorded today. It does not mean 1820 deaths in 28 days.

[grumpy01]

I see Pritti useless has said that they should have closed the travel corridors much earlier.Perhaps the clown in No. 10 will admit to his failures at any inquiry.

[-SharonA-]

Deskdiary,a flippant remark. Some of us need to go outside, even for the basics.
We haven't all got online shopping slots!!

[iluvmargie]

Sharon, I go outside twice a day to walk my dog and shopping to the supermarket twice a week and I have never been scared and only started wearing a mask last summer in shops when it became a 'rule', up until then I had never worn one. Just get on with your life and take the necessary precautions if you are nervous. I'm sure you'll be fine.

//Carry on looking after your dear Mum, as I would if mine was here and needed me//
I will Marge, thanks.

The point I was making was that while everyone was cowering under the duvet, life goes on...
I still work as an (apparently selfish) key worker.
I still care for my mum because both the NHS & DougieMac dont give a flying **** (Selfish again)
& I wish to have some human contact with friends (Selfish me)

Guess I am just a selfish person who wishes to be human.
A walk in the park and some fresh air????
What a selfish tw* t I am eh??

[iluvmargie]

Good for you nailit x

We cannot and I will not, live my life in fear.

And, no, you are NOT selfish, you are human.

[sevenOP]

"It brings the total number people who have died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 to 91,470, although analysis by the UK’s statistics agencies suggest the true death toll is closer to 108,00."

Seems that average daily total is 3,266( or closer to ? )

[bednobs]

? how can that be sevenop?

[nailit]

Tell you what
(taking all this to a logical conclusion)
No more funerals, just cart your dead ones of to the Crem and forget them.
No more weddings either.
Dont try and supply food to those in need.
Shop only for yourself,,,dependents can look out for themselves.
Got kids? No worries, leave them at the door with the security guard
Have you got a health passport?
Sorry, no entry!
''Have you got any papers''...said after 6 o'clock.
''Why are you out''
Err, just having a stroll.
''That a £200 fine''

WHERE DOES IT STOP???

[TonyV]

I go out to local co op for shopping and a walk round local park for some exercise, giving everyone a wide berth.
