Jambo-Jimbo Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 A man & a woman both from the Wirral have been fined £10k each after failing to quarantine after a holiday in Dubai. What makes it worse is that they took several flights on the way home to try and cover up that they'd been in Dubai and then failed to disclose on the forms that they had been in a Red Listed country. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-56241663 £10k fine, should be looking at a jail term for this deliberate & blatant attempt to avoid quarantining.

Don Dan Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 7 minutes ago, Ray Gin said: they moan about her giving positive news purely for political gain. People of a suspicious mind would certainly moan about it especially as the Covid19 figures are better and her and her parties are falling away. You would forgive the skeptics for thinking this is more about her popularity and that of the SG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB-14 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 28 minutes ago, Brian Dundas said: What do you think is going to drive the numbers up over the next 8 weeks? There is very little that can happen anywhere to drive the numbers up, once they are falling in a lockdown they keep falling in general, add in the vaccination program and I can't see how we will not be at extremely low levels in 8 weeks time. This week is a critical one to watch, today's numbers were important, but if we end this week better than last Friday I can't see us reversing the numbers until we start to open up again.

Victorian Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Moving forward the schools plan is a pre-cursor to doing a U-turn on other unlocking elements imo. An exercise in gathering quicker data to (hopefully) enable other stuff to happen a bit sooner, if things continue to go to plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyJudyJudy Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 22 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: I thought the statement was decent enough today. Much more upbeat that the recent tones which hopefully means we see things progressing quicker. My boy is delighted to be going back to school. He’s been finding the social isolation of it hard and his mood has been lifted that will get back to friends and socialising. Dates were given for the rest of school returns, whilst it looks like things will accelerate a bit. Yeah I was speaking to my wee nephew yesterday whos 9 . I asked him how “ home schooling “ was going ? His answer “ stressful “ !! 😂 delighted they are going back . Yes the statement was fairly decent to be fair .

Taffin Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Good news that lockdown easing can potentially be accelerated and more positive tones this week. What happened to the data that's allowed this?

So there has been a dramatic shift, but they will want to see that over a two week period to have even more confidence in it. 👍👍 Cheers.

Taffin Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 5 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: I think the data that came about effectiveness of the vaccines after one dose, will certainly of impacted the modelling pretty substantially, giving more optimistic scenarios. Probably a combination of factors resulting in the change in tone today. Just now, Brian Dundas said: as @Lord BJ points out above, that was just one factor I posted, loads of different factors have improved recently. In fact Boris might have to revise his no sooner than dates as well at some point!! Really encouraging stuff. Brighter days and some hope has given my outlook a significant lift.
