According to the Kings College App R is 0.9 for the U.K. as a whole, that is the first time since the summer they have reported R below 1.0.
We might just be getting to the end of this second wave, fingers crossed.

Why convenient? King’s College are independent and have called the government out several times, especially over the eat out to help out scheme. Their data was picking up the increase in cases and the R rate in July and August.

Fair enough then. Wasn’t sure whether they were in the government’s pocket
 
There's no such thing as Covid south of Watford..

Hell On in Kent and Home Counties -Tory MPS shouting their mouths off about being in Tier 3. Self-serving Bellends.

Another U Turn on the way for Churchill?

The logic is that tier 3 drops the decreases transmission, tier 2 maintains the level and in tier 1 transmission increases.

So as soon as we are below the acceptable number of cases then we will go into tier 2.

The argument could be it would be better to stay in tier 3 until we got down to tier 1 numbers as tier 2 is rubbish and will be maintained until the vaccine.

It was on it's way down before lockdown

One of the worst places in the world for this virus to start was China - they locked down, lied about the numbers and almost every other nation followed them - mental

We've completely fucked our economy for the foreseeable so we didn't get pictures of our NHS struggling

That's not true - the average across the country was slowly moving down

The government, the opposition and SAGE simply refuse to look at any other evidence

Arcadia group looks like it's going to the wall in the next few days - another 13,000 jobs gone and more lives destroyed - the cure is worse than the disease

I do agree but they should have not sanctioned it as a lot of dafties now think this is a good thing to do.
The sun headline the other day ' it's ok to kiss and hug granny' was beyond irresponsible and millions of dafties read and believe that rag.
I'm sure the world think we are a bonkers country at times.
