I am writing to my MP to demand an apology for you for the inconvenience caused by Covid.

You carry on. Meanwhile I will still condemn the government's ineptitude and consistent 'back of a fag packet' planning ( and the word planning is stretching the meaning somewhat ).

Well Boris and co can eff off .... again ... six is a stupidly low number. It means my parents couldn't come round for dinner to see their grandchildren .... a massive total of seven people. It's now gone beyond ridiculous ... every nation having slightly different rules ... masks needed in shops etc but only being implemented months after the outbreak .... changes being made to the rules on the fly .... no real increase in deaths ... NHS no longer under stress. I fully accept there is a virus but the government need to get a grip and not just make things up as they go along.

So the Government that you decided you wanted to run the country and consequently voted into power, have turned out to be, in your words, inept, incapable of planning, and making things up as they go along. If only someone could have foreseen this :facepalm:

Feel free to use Meg to provide you with the lottery numbers for tomorrow .... she clearly has some foresight.

PS - where have I ever suggested Johnson's government wouldn't be inept ?

The scientists and public health officials have explained this figure, Starmer said he supports it, Sturgeon has enacted the same rule.

The rise of CV19 has started, all governments and scientists are now acting to prevent a repeat of the first wave. My wife works at Worthing Hospital - where two weeks ago Covid wards were empty, as they had been for a very long time. They’re now filling rapidly, with the first CV19 death.

This is very real.

Big uptick in cases in Worthing this week - 37 this week compared to 5 last week, putting Worthing at 33 cases per 100k.

Changes in small numbers can lead to apparent big percentage shifts, of course, so fingers crossed this is a blip rather than a significant trend. If it's the latter, Worthing could be one of the first places in the South to require further measures imposed.

Answering Yes or No, did you vote Labour in 1997?

I've got no praise for this Government whatsoever, lurching from one crisis to another but my point was that you deem the figure of 6 to be inconvenient to you as had it been 7 you could carry on with your sunday lunch!

To be fair, I doubt that Corbyn would have been able to handle this situation any better!!!

The sad thing is I’m far from sure he would have been worse than this wholly incompetent government!

Given the resources they have at their disposal it seems incredible that they can’t come up with a coherent strategy backed up by clear communication to the public.

They give the impression of throwing darts at a board to make their decisions.......

To be fair, and I hate to say that where Boris is concerned, but I honestly don't think ANY politicians would have made a much better job

It should be left to scientists, but unfortunately they can't agree either, and don't see human lives, just number, so we are left with the mess we are in.

I must admit to wondering whether the new exemptions to this rule could mean my pub darts league starting up again. After all "Organised team sports carried out in a "COVID-secure way" can also have more than six people"

Pubs are allowed to stay open if they are "COVID safe", so as long as those not involved in the game taking place remain at their teams table, what is stopping us?

If anyone asks, put on a plummy accent and stick a picture of a grouse on the dartboard. They can't touch you.

Good news for Worthing! The latest figures published by PHE for Worthing w/e 11/9/20 show:

19 cases per 100,000 people in the latest week 5 Sep-11 Sep.

So the trend appears to be downwards again - 19 per 100K compared to 37 per 100K the previous week.

Only 4 cases per 100k down here in Cornwall, with the tourist season coming to an end.

Sadly, these figures, and all the others are absolute bollocks, all the while there are **** all tests available for those that need them.

It would seem from personal experience, that the government is now going down the Trump route of restricting testing to keep the confirmed cases down.

are they, seem to be pushing tests alot? the capacity on tests is controlled by who NHS allows to carry out testing.

We are back to the "Carry On Covid" days again with the near impossibility of actually booking or ordering a test.
