New three tier system announced



Appears South Tyneside and the whole of Teeside have poor numbers. Rest of Tyne and Wear, Durham and Northumberland are less now than when we half way through local lockdown in October (whilst in tier 2)

Hospital numbers are significantly higher though so this will have an impact

Stockton, Teeside etc. aren’t part of the same unified authority as Tyne and Wear, if you were looking at them collectively.
 
Their cases in the last week are lower than anywhere in the North East. It’s more than cases of course but in terms of cases alone they’re doing much better than the NE.

and their cases in 60+ Are far lower.

for once I actually think the gvmt document setting out their reasoning is pretty clear
 
It’s been known we would be in tier 3 for a couple of days now. It will be interesting to see what happens on the 16th, as I suspect there will be a big push for tier 2

looking at the reasoning for all areas I think the case rate needs tI get below 250 (currently 318) am the rate in over 60s needs to be down to less than 200 (currently 256)
f***ing Smoggies and Hartlepool twats caused this.
Good point apart from fact tees valley are treat as different region

No I wasnt, just merely pointing out their numbers are very high as part of the wider north east

Edit: that sounded an arsey response when it defintely wasnt :)

Seems correct thing to do if your numbers aren't that healthy unfortunately.

I was fully expecting it tbh. The numbers are dropping but are still high. At one point Hull was going to do a Liverpool and call in the army for testing.

I'm trying to stay away from people but I'm aware that local shops etc must be taking a hammering if everyone is like me. It's a tricky balance as I have tried to support local whenever I've been able to.

That's all me and the wife been doing since it all started tbh, shopping locally. Hairdresser on the estate has had to sell her business she has had for 25yrs+. She's devastated, can't afford running it anymore due to the lockdowns n covid. Sad.
