So you think they Covid has a *14 week* incubation period? Ooookay then...


I mean, cases started during while hospitality was shut down during November, but whatever.

I say this with total respect for you foxy

Rollocks


Those promotions ended ages ago so whilst they may have aided a slight blip at the time, the inoculation period doesn't support your theory.


My personal theory is that the new variant could be effecting the young so the spread is occurring in a different way to before possibly via school children who bring it home but that's may not be what's actually happening


Hang on to your hats for today's 4pm briefing to see what they announce.

I suppose it's possible what started in August propagates through to a bigger increase than might have happened otherwise in November and December - that's what computer projections were devised to work out though.


It might be politically inconvenient to broadcast so will be released softly on Xmas eve if so :)


My thoughts are that actually social distancing may breed a new variant as only the variant that is most infectious can make the distance between people (when someone coughs outside the new variant might make it to a new host and is thus favoured). Of course that won't favour the killer variant so much (hopefully) - so more infectious, less/similar mortality.

Eat out to help out problem is t that it did or didn?t I?m trade infections in and of itself


Or the amount of money spent (I think that should have just been given to hospitality to stay shut)


It?s that it fed a general belief that This Was Over and we could go back to normal. Despite lockdown 2/tiers, people are behaving very differently to April

Let's just hope and pray this new variant has less severe symptoms. Most viruses mutate over time with one example being the Spanish 'Flu which eventually burnt itself after 4 waves in around 4 years.


There wasn't a vaccine then so hopefully we will be spared a protracted crisis.

This virus should have the same or lower mortality - not proved - but there is obviously a fear amongst other nations that what should happen may not happen.


Did the government include this scenario when it planned for the worst case a few weeks back I wonder.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
