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.

Latest news..."In north-west England, 2,948 hospital patients with confirmed Covid-19 were reported on November 9.

This is 58 higher than the first-wave peak of 2,890 on April 13."

Not great news, whatever way you read it.

It's Autumn 59, going into winter, just in case you've not been around in an English autumn or winter before, I can confirm for you that NW hospitals are close to capacity with RI patients at this time of year, every year. It's not great as you say, but it's perfectly normal.

You might like to check back if you can find the figures, they are hard to find though, they seem to have disappeared, it's almost as though the government doesn't want you to know that this happens every year.

And incidentally, besides Lancashire, the 7 day average had fallen in both Liverpool and Manchester in the week leading up to Lockdown 2 as well. In your official capacity as a LibDem councillor and advocate of Lockdowns, what would you say to anyone who has lost their job or their business, for what is obviously no good reason, when Boris's Tier System was starting to work and getting the desired results ?
