It's expected that the South East will be put into Tier 4!

Well, just over an hour to go so let's see.

All sounds a bit serious?

Yes, sudden urgency. shock

EllanVannin Sat 19-Dec-20 16:10:02

There's a new case every hour. It is serious.

NanaDH Sat 19-Dec-20 16:10:36

He is late again!

Urmstongran Sat 19-Dec-20 16:11:24

Time to toughen up all round.

He’s on now.

Why on earth isn't he closing bordersstopping flights etc? Surely if new strains are coming in from abroad then we need to keep anyone out who may be carrying it.We wanted to close our border earlier this year WM in all its wisdom said there IS no border ...maybe they need to realise there damn well is and it needs closed now.

ILOVECHEESE . What??

Mamardoit Sat 19-Dec-20 16:33:47

Nothing is going to stop this spreading north. If they close shops in tier 4 idiots will just travel to the midlands.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 19-Dec-20 16:36:06

All the lorry drivers stuck in Kent should keep to themselves otherwise they will spread to Europe.

Mamardoit Sat 19-Dec-20 16:37:13

Is this new strain in south Wales?

Wales manages it, so isn't it up to your own politicians?

So no 5 days of Christmas in England with 3 bubbles.
Keep it short.
Keep yr Distance.

Critical & dangerous time. This new strain is 70% more transferable.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 19-Dec-20 16:48:41

Act as if you have the virus.

Very sensible advise.

Easy to know what not to do.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 19-Dec-20 16:56:23

Peston saying that he’s heard that the new strain is spreading much more quickly amongst children. So schools remaining closed post Christmas is a high possibility.

Back to washing the deliveries

If we can get any!

Does anybody have a link to the areas which are going into Tier 4?

growstuff Sat 19-Dec-20 17:03:39

Scrap that! I found one. My area is staying in Tier 2, although I'm not really sure why.

rosie1959 Sat 19-Dec-20 17:04:52

London and the south east that was tier 3

vegansrock Sat 19-Dec-20 17:07:29

Last minute u turns again. My local ( big as seen on TV) teaching hospital are doing Covid vaccinations for over 80s. Very few of those invited have turned up. They are putting out a call for anyone over 80 to come along. Why don’t they give the vaccine to the frontline healthcare workers?!

EllanVannin Sat 19-Dec-20 17:09:27

London and the South East are tier 4, aren't they growstuff ?

EllanVannin Sat 19-Dec-20 17:13:53

Flights are still coming and going [shock ]
Are those coming in being tested ? I wonder !

silverlining48 Sat 19-Dec-20 17:15:21

Kent is in Tier4

EllanVannin Sat 19-Dec-20 17:15:38

What IS the matter with people ? Shouldn't they know without being told ?

silverlining48 Sat 19-Dec-20 17:16:18

We can’t even meet fir a distanced walk
