Which tier after lockdown?

Lucca

Call me cynical but what difference will it make. Many many people will do exactly what they want !

Right again Lucca! My nephew walked up Snowdon earlier the week and met people from Yorkshire on their way down!
If things continue in that vein, north Wales will be back on Firebreak!

These are the criteria but it’s a balancing act between them so they govt don’t as far as I know issue fixed figures. It’s not as simple as just looking at infection rates

These are:

case detection rates in all age groups
case detection rates in the over 60s
the rate at which cases are rising or falling
positivity rate (the number of positive cases detected as a percentage of tests taken)
pressure on the NHS

A West Country tier 3 here. Not surprised and definitely not happy.

Tier 2 Greater London.

Tier 2 from tier 1, our borough is 88 cases/100,000, but Havant is the highest at 200+ followed by Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight, tier 1 is 59. We all get lumped under the County Council.

We were in 1 but now in 3 because of an outbreak towards the coast. We are north Kent, a big county, half a mile from the outer London boundary (2).

Ashcombe ..it is interesting...two of my friends sons have been doing some work in London ,pre this latest lockdown and said that it felt like normal life was going on ..

Tier 3 here in the West Country - I am not surprised! Loads of people flouting the rules plus an illegal rave for 700 people a few weeks ago.

I heard an MP for Kent on the Today program expressing the view that the whole county shouldn't be in 3 because Swale has the highest rate in the country, but I do feel that boundaries have to be drawn somewhere and at least everyone knows where county boundaries are.

We are in tier 3 too. Although the infection rate in Northumberland has been steadily decreasing in the last few weeks, we are being lumped in with the rest of the North East. We are only about 5 or 6 miles from Cumbria which is in tier 2.
My DiL is manager of a local pub which cannot reopen. Fortunately she has secured a part time job in a grocery shop, so has some income. DS's job isn't affected.

We are in Tier 3, no surprise there, though living in a rural area we have fewer cases.
My daughter runs a holiday cottage and cannot reopen, but why is that unsafe, when people can mix in shops, hairdressers etc?

What annoys me is that they don't publish the criteria for being in each tier, so those with lower rates who are in a higher tier can feel justifiably annoyed because there has been no explanation why. It also means that even if you see the numbers in your area drop dramatically, you have no idea whether your tier level will change.

Those of you who want to avoid all contact until next summer at the earliest will have no problem which one you are in, but for pubs, restaurants, hotels and theatres, it makes planning impossible and will cause many heartbreaks and suicides as there is no forseeable way out.

It’s interesting that London is Tier 2 with a higher rate per 100,000 than Greater Manchester which is in Tier 3. Equally, deciding tiers according to counties doesn’t take into account Tertiary authorities.
I live in Torbay, Devon which is in Tier 2, but Cornwall is on Tier 1, which will be interesting for folk who need to cross the Tamar for any reason.

Tier 3

Not going down well it the East Midlands. People on local sites cannot believe everywhere rural (except Rutland) has been put into tier 3 and London is in tier 2. Leicester must be feeling they will never come out of lockdown.

Looks like most of us are tier, 3 apart from the Isle of Wight, Isles of Scilly and Cornwall.

Tier 2 in Wirral, dropped from tier 3 but it won't change anything for me because I won't be doing anything different than I did from March. Home Alone until next year so long as I can stay virus free.

Tier three still. Deeply disappointed because if what I have read is to be believed, our numbers were coming down, despite the fact that we have two universities. What was the point of the bloody lockdown??

We were in tier 1 now it is tier 3 .
We are one of only 3 areas in the south west in 3 ?

I am on the border of Bristol/South Gloucestershire, both of which are in tier 3 - can't say I'm surprised.

As I thought, tier 2 in Northamptonshire.

3.... first time our city has been top of the league. ?

Tier 2 and pleasantly surprised .

Tier 2. Not surprised although we are relatively low on infection rates there's area of the county that are very high. I guess that we will be here till the spring.
