I’ve not seen one U.K. person say they want a China style lockdown? Where are you seeing this stuff

Mentally? I think so. I still have little blips when I think my missus is going over the top with her socialising (pre lockdown) and we end up having an argument, then the next day I'll see something positive and it eases my worries again. I imagine there's lots of people like me who are normally pretty rational having spikes of irrationality.
The Irony is that I handed my notice in in January (left early March) to take a 6 month Sabbatical in order to have a relaxing care free summer, get some fitness done and generally just put myself in a good frame of mind before looking for new opportunities after a stressful 3 years in a startup. I maybe shouldn't put forecasting on my CV.

Me and the missus have had some humdingers during the last 7 months.
She is a bit more liberal in her approach to the lockdown guidances at times but as she says she does it with common sense and safely.
But overall we're coping as a family (we have a toddler) and I think we've become stronger.
Stick in there pal, I reckon we'll be out of this by 2025

Aye we're the same with an 11-month-old. What a first year of life he's had. Luckily I can work from home, so he's had his dad home for the full year, which I'm sure is a positive for his development. I'm confident things will look a lot better in 6 months time. Treatment should continue to improve, vaccine on the way, and death rates will continue to fall (as a percentage of infections).

Lockdown effects most of us mentally. Some more than others. If you look at the sniping on this board, tempers flare quite easily. I suspect a lot of that is... Dissatisfaction, for want of a better term, with life generally. The uncertainty and fear for livelihoods and the future.
It is bound to take a toll.

I've not seen that either, I've no idea where he's looking or who he's speaking to, but it's not the same places or people I am.
I don't know who the "lockdown lovers" are either, I literally don't know anyone that likes the lockdowns, never mind loves them
I know most see them as necessary for control (like myself), but this is very different to liking, and loving.
If I had my way we wouldn't even be in a 1 month lockdown now, as a we would have been in a two week one back near the end of September, when it was advised. Now we've let it get out well of hand and we're going to pay the price of that delay.

Well I'm surprised. It does appear lockdown in england is having an effect on bringing the number of cases down. I honestly thought it was too late

It's working in Wales, NI and France from high levels so hopefully it continues in England.

But @SmallTown the cases haven't changed since before lockdown, they actually went up after having plateaued.. it's coming to the end of rhinovirus season, they're are also less tests processed, it would look like if the majority are false positive and you process 60k less tests a day then you get a drop right so what does lockdown have to do with it?

Fingers crossed. I still think it was brought in too late though. We'd have probably seen a better drop.

Ye I mean it's simple right do less tests less positives.View attachment 9121
I mean I'm a down for that, let's just stop testing full stop and then puff like magic no cases.
If you're capable of taking a screenshot of the data, then you're also capable of comparing one day's data with that from the same day the previous week. Had you done so, you would have seen that they always process fewer tests between Sunday-Tuesday (presumably due to a weekend effect) and then have much higher numbers between Wednesday-Saturday.
If we compare on a 7-day average basis we can see that, for the three days you have highlighted, the average actually grew by 0.02% before then falling by 0.39% and then 0.93%. The overall reduction in the 7-day average for tests processed was 4,296 so nowhere near the 60,000 that you claim.

Let's see how many tests are processed on the 18th..
It doesn't change anything regarding the efficacy of lockdown anyway. I mean the positive case rate was where it is now and rhinovirus seasons do end to give way to flu seasons normally. You do know this so won't address it, with any luck covid has knocked our flu season out like it has elsewhere.
Linear trend line for testing is up, for Pillars 1 and 2, and the 7 day average is still trending up week on week (other than first week in November, when a mass of additional testing got phased in).Alvez_48 said:

Convenient that you picked the three lowest days of the week, wonder why you did that? Why didn't you mention the 4 days prior? Oh right, because they were 4 out of the top 5 all year.
Don't try and lie or mislead with statistics, you're bad at it.
