    Here are the FACTS relating to "Covid stricken" Manchester:

    You won't hear or read about these facts on the BBC or Grauniad BT, and to be fair you won't find them in many media outlets at all. It's a mystery to me why the media is so compliant in helping the government terrify the population, a favourite is headlines calling Covid19, 'This Deadly Disease', when it's perfectly clear by now that to anyone under the age of 80 it's nothing of the sort, it's no more deadly than flu.

    Sad to report that the lunacy will be spreading up to my neck of the woods later today with an announcement coming about stricter measures which will cover the whole of the north east.
    Lots of people are worried sick now and the announcement has not been made yet ---project fear working well on many people.
    Life goes on!

    Headline in the Daily Telegraph today,

    "UK Covid-19 cases and deaths: how the UK is coping with a second wave"

    But the stats show quite clearly that there is no second wave. There may be one later, but as of this moment there isn't one, nor anything like one, so why that headline ?

    Because it's the media mouthpiece for this Cabal of Conservative and Unionist Cabinet Minister Cretins who really cannot be considered to be fit for purpose anymore.

    I just chose the Telegraph headline at random BT, I really can't be arsed, but if I wanted to I could find the same 'Deadly Disease' nonsense for you in every news website there is, including the Lefty ones. This lunacy goes way, way beyond Boris and his Cabal of Cretins, I'm a bit surprised you haven't noticed that yet.

    " A major incident has been declared by officials in North Yorkshire following "a surge" in coronavirus cases in the past fortnight.

    North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum (NYLRF) said it was reinstating "full emergency mode". The body, which is made up of representatives from the police and local authorities, said Harrogate and Selby were of particular concern. Parts of Craven and Scarborough have also seen a sharp rise in cases.
    NYLRF said it was "stepping up support" for care homes, with some being told to reintroduce visitor restrictions. Other measures include
    people being encouraged to wear face masks whenever they leave home, and dedicated police patrols targeting those breaking social distancing rules."


    First of all face masks were just for public transport, then they became mandatory in shops, I said then it wouldn't stop there, eventually we'd be compelled to wear them whenever we left home. Posters like 59/60 and Antifootball pooh-poohed this idea, no they said this is just a sensible precaution, nothing more. Then they became mandatory in museums art *********, public places, now notice what has crept into the above,

    "people being encouraged to wear face masks whenever they leave home"

    That's how it works, first you're just encouraged, then it WILL become mandatory, just like I said two monthe ago.

    The latest up here as of midnight tonight is that we are not allowed to mix if we are from different households unless we are in the bubble ---whatever that is. It is a good job that I am not a worrier because according to the BBC website "Northumberland's rate of 25.7 cases per 100,000 in the week to 13 September means it is outside the top 100 of 315 areas of England for new infections."

    This weekend three of us are going to watch an FA Vase match between Bedlington Terriers and Heaton Stannington. Two of us usually travel to the Turf together but are not allowed to travel in the same car to Bedlington, about 4 miles, even though on Tuesday night we travelled together to watch Ashington, about 2 miles. The other lad is coming from Newcastle.
    We were then going out for an Indian meal that night but that has now had to be cancelled. This is because 0.0257 of our local population have been diagnosed.

    One of the local schools has 40 children who travel for 40 minutes on a bus together to get to school, they are together at school all day and then travel home on the bus together on another 40 minute journey, The same children are then not allowed to go out and lay with each other in the evening. I was told to do some daft things when I served in the RAF and I usually managed to make a bit of sense out of it, however, I am totally at a loss to explain this lot.

    This Cabal of Conservative and Unionist Cabinet Minister Cretins have totally lost the plot Supersub6.

    They really have no idea what they are doing except making them looker more stupid by the day.

    For all those people who think think COVID-19 is some sort of conspiracy, just note that infection rate, in the UK alone, have risen, alarmingly. If you cannot be bothered to wear suitable protection whilst outside then you are, without doubt, contributing to the problem. Do you sneeze or cough in someone's face, regardless of your medical condition ?

    We are all wearing muzzles but the positive testing is still rising.

    Obviously masks do not work.
