O/T Coronavirus Thread (4)

Leicester re-lockdown to possibly be followed by Bradford, Rochdale, Oldham and Barnsley.

One of these places is not like the others.

What's been going on in Barnsley recently?

Language barriers there too? No-one can understand them when they call tea "tia" and car boots "car boo-its?

Oh and to answer my earlier question, Rotherham is 7th (don't know want happened with Doncaster, seem to have disappeared from the figures).

Rate per 100,000

Leicester 140.2
Bradford 69.4
Barnsley 54.7
Rochdale 53.6
Bedford 42.0
Oldham 38.6
Rotherham 33.6

is this this cases or deaths?

I thought there might have been a particular wedding or funeral where it had spread.

The other nine of the top ten areas have substantial Asian populations.

More to do with cheap foreign labour working in food processing factories in the Barnsley figures.

So much ado about nothing

1 billion flu cases last year

10 million covid 19 cases this year.


650 thousand flu deaths in a bad flu year....any lockdown?


This lockdown has been a disaster. Protect the elderly and vulnerable by all means but everyone else should crack on.


I know many more people who have developed health issues due to the lockdown than those who had covid.

You might be right, there's a few in Wombwell, Cleckheaton had an outbreak in one of their meat processing factories.

Aye part of the Thatcher legacy

More like a Blair one

More like a Blair one

There's nothing the left can't blame on Thatcher, however tenuous.
