    That 405 is probably about as accurate a metric for the actual number of house parties in Scotland over the weekend as our (and by our I mean the world's) case numbers from the peak.

    Never has a country loved a house party more than our northern brethren.

    Aye, although Marseilles were moaning about their ICU having only four beds left. Italy and Germany seem to be in decent shape.

    That'd be a more interesting graph if the two previous bank holiday dips weren't on it.

    The grouse shooting thing is braindead. Sure, if it's a sport then it can have 30 like all the other sports, but why would you expend political capital getting it through on its own?

    The level 1-5 roadmap was announced here today and they've already fucked it up by putting the country at L2 and Dublin at L2-and-a-bit. The health minister is off for a covid test now which has absolutely nothing to do with him getting roasted on telly tonight.

    London walk-in test centres become bookings only. Londoners are unable to book tests near them. London shows curiously low infection rates.

    Any one would think there's some fudging going on as if some people in power may be trying to avoid a London lockdown.

    There was footage on the local news here of the 'Holylands' (student) area of Belfast. They're all out in the street in huge groups having a piss up or hanging out of windows of the houses. The police should just go in there and crack some heads. Stupid culchie bastards.

    I'm pretty sure they've moved loads of the the testing capacity up north.

    Yeah, I've heard of Londoners getting Belfast as their closest testing centre. What we need is STATS to bottom this out.

    Rumours around here suggest Hounslow is on the verge of a lockdown. 48 people have it in a population of 99,874.

    Robert Peston is nudging for another national lockdown (or at least much tighter restrictions) in two weeks. Says anything and everything could be sacrificed to keep schools open. Screw him and screw them.

    I don't think we will. Technically by virtue of the R being above 1 we already should be now, and yet...

    Toggle Spoiler


    I only see us locking down if the deaths really start to escalate and as long as Deirdre and John stay home and we keep it out of Care Homes that shouldn't really happen.

    I think the winter's going to be key. Locking down might be the only way to keep people away from hospital beds.

    Lock down now and people will a) largely not comply and b) lose their shit by Christmas.

    If we have to do it then it needs to be at the right time.

    In Peston's thing it quotes someone from SAGE as saying they won't wait for the deaths to rise before locking down. If the rule of six doesn't lower infections within two weeks it's all over red rover.

    Winter influenza season would make sense to maintain the social distancing / keep the current bar/restaurant restrictions in place. Lockdown now makes little sense.

    Rates have shot up in the last two weeks. Schools reopened two weeks ago. I don't see the point in locking anything down if it's purely so they can keep schools open as normal.

    We can't have a generation of kids that have missed 10% of their schooling, so if it's actually needed, I favour closing everything else down ahead of schools. That's a big if though.

    I understand that, but I don’t think anything will bring the rates back down to what we now considered as okay, besides closing* schools.

    There's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the rise has been attributed to schools.

    This is interesting.

    "September is not March
    Spain is again reporting up to 10,000 new cases a day — as it did at the peak of the pandemic in March and April. But Spanish officials insist the figures are not comparable. They argue that in March only about one case in 10 was detected, which meant daily tallies showed just a sliver of the real picture. Now, they say, the detection rate may be between 70-90 per cent."

    Why not? As Magic's said, where's the evidence of this? I still haven't heard of a single kid via anyone I know that's been confirmed to have the thing. Loads of tests, particularly over the last two weeks, but no positives.

    I think what will happen is that after the absolute hammering that everyone in authority took in the spring - rightly or wrongly - they will now err on the side of extreme caution, particularly the sciencey people who aren't accountable for what happens to the economy.

    All I know for a fact is the figures have absolutely rocketed the past two weeks (don’t make me provide graphs) and the only thing that changed 2 weeks ago is kids going back to schools.

    It's 1 or 2 kids out of hundreds.

    Hundreds of kids that aren't adhering to any bullshit guidelines, distancing, masks or sanitising.

    The fucking cold has a higher hit rate than this.
