This insanity is endless...

Just been having my daily look at the Covid figures, and as the 2nd wave ravages the country, here's an update on how we're doing in the North West.

Hospital admissions in the North West peaked on October 29th with 340 new admissions, since then the numbers have been falling,

Oct 29th...340
Oct 30th...256
Oct 31st...280
Nov 1st...293
Nov 2nd...288
Nov 3rd...277
Nov 4th...312
Nov5th...247,

And so, with hospital admissions on a downward curve, the government decided to introduce Lockdown 2, putting thousands of people out of work and destroying god knows how many more struggling businesses........in order to get hospital admissions on a downward curve.

What news of the poor buggers dying from Covid, or more accurately, those dying from anything at all, but within 28 days of a positive Covid test. Good news there as well. In the week from Oct 28th to Nov 4th, the eve of Lockdown 2, the 7 day average death rate had fallen in 9 of the 14 Lancashire Local Authorities, it was stable in 3 and had risen in just 2, West Lancashire and Pendle.

And so, with the numbers dying on a downward curve, the government decided to introduce Lockdown 2, putting thousands of people out of work and destroying god knows how many more struggling businesses.........in order to get the numbers dying on a downward curve.

I can't help feeling that someone is taking the piss.
