Plague Island!

I quite agree.
Cases are rising everywhere and in Liverpool the majority were under 40 years of age with 20% being up to 59 y.o.a.

Surely we can all see why it's spread ?

More than 1500 lorries are currently queuing in Kent

Most of the drivers are French along with other EU drivers, Macron is basically stopping EU citizens from returning home.

Macrons fault not the UKs

It's not Macron's fault that Eire isn't allowing passengers from the UK. There are also long tailbacks at Harwich of lorries heading for Belgium. That's not Macron's fault either - nor can he be blamed for the other 60 countries which have banned passengers from the UK.

Why?

Nine of the places with the highest number of cases are in East London or South Essex. Why has it spread so rabidly? Would be genuinely interested.

BTW The steepest rise has been among secondary school age children. Some of the places with the highest rates were threatened with legal action when they wanted to close schools early.

This isn't the British papers, it's how our situation is viewed from a variety of news sources abroad. As someone just quoted 'oh to see ourselves as others see us!'.

I think "Bash the Furriner" is going to be a popular party game this Christmas.

At a guess population density. I'm no geographer growstuff but how would this map match up with the virus map?

Did you mean frapper l'étranger?

No bashing the foreigners from this poster, just the administration’s that closed their borders with little/no notice stranding their citizens.

This looks good.
It's called Whack a frog! £27.

You are a bit distrubed Ellianne- no wonder Gagajo is concerned!

I am afraid, the UK has not endeared itself to others around the world, and particularly the EU and all border countries (across the water - as Raab found out only recently) - by their behaviour in the last couple of years- and threatening neighbours with gun ships.

Not sure I know what distrubed means biba!?

Cou cou biba, that's "hello" in French by the way. Nothing to do with Swiss clocks or insane posters.
Just thought you could answer my above question svp.

Oh give it a rest, Callistemon. It's boring.

We are ostracised by the rest of Europe. As a Brit I'm terrified and mortified.

Yes, and teachers were roundly attacked, called lazy, scroungers etc on here when they pointed out the risk.

Only to find out the new mutation is very prevalent in under 15 year olds.

Who would EVER have thought?

Australians are cursing this country for carrying the new strain to them as flights to Oz are still continuing and Morrison won't put a ban on them. But----they've come up with a brilliant idea- testing everyone who lands !

Still putting money first I notice.

Because, growstuff, this new strain started in this country !
People flying home are taking the new strain with them from here.

Which begs the question, did the virus first start in this country ? Nothing surprises me any more.

Visitors have left this country, ill !

Haha, first laugh of the evening?

Even India isn't as bad as this country as regards the spread ?

China got rid of it quickly. Why are we stuck with it ? Doesn't it make anyone wonder ?

That is scary, isn't it EV?

EV.

Nobody knows if this started here

We detected it

But as yet we don't know where it originated

Viruses mutate all the time

yes, we agree on this one- it is crazy that this site does not have a typo correct option.
