Mate at work his mam died last night - after contracting it in hospital. Tragic
So many sh*t decisions that have got us to this point. It's infuriating to think that all this failure probably won't even have any sort of repercussions for the tories.
Not soon but eventually. Certainly for the next week we’ll see the worst results from the 600000 plus per day cases and overloaded hospitals. Surely hospitalisations will drop in the next fortnight? Then deaths to followCases are down a bit now though, that will be reflected in the death toll soon I'm sure.
Lunchtime news said it has reached 106,000Huge death numbers were inevitable, we were getting 60,000+ people testing positive every single day, with the hospitals overloaded, and I expect that's not the last time the record death toll will be broken.
We'll be on over 100,000 official deaths by next week, awful.
Absolutely Maccarone. It’s tragic and absolutely terrifying. Two friends of ours are dead from this, we attended one funeral by Zoom last Friday.Yes , these are people's loved ones, not just statistics and numbers,think of all the families and friends mourning the deaths of their loved ones.
Absolutely heartbreaking, people of this country must take heed and 100% follow rules and guidelines.
We are in a terrible state, transmissions seem to be reducing, that's the hope plus vaccinations.
My heart goes out to all families who are mourning, not only covid deaths but all other aspects of health.
So sad.
Lunchtime news said it has reached 106,000
One thing everyone needs to understand about this: we are ALL, each and every one if us, all at risk of dying from this, no matter what our age, none of us are immune, even if we’ve had the first jab. FFS people, take care of yourselves and don’t take any risks. Stay home, stay safeLunchtime news said it has reached 106,000

And yet the irresponsible still arrange their house parties, still don’t socially distance and don’t wear masks properly.
When are people, particularly the young, ever going to take this seriously?
*The first dose of 4.2m vaccinations done now too.4.2m vaccinations done now too.
The 89000 was on 1 January. The ONS had a further 7000 deaths up to 8 January for England and Wales.It probably will have surpassed it already, yeah, but official figures are currently 91,470 within 28 days of a positive test and 89,243 with Covid on the death certificate.
The Tories, along with the SNP, the experts and just about everyone else in a position of responsibility, told people to keep away from each other over Christmas; the slogan was “Don’t kill your grandparents just because you want to have Christmas Dinner with them”.
The Tories are incompetent idiots who could t organise the proverbial in a brewery but I rather think the death figures we are seeing now is almost entirely the result of irresponsible, selfish behaviour by those who were determined to ignore advice, mix socially, hug, get drunk together, etc. Over Christmas and New Year.

Hundreds of thousands of people, maybe millions, stuck two fingers up at that advice over Christmas and New Year and mixed with their families. We are now seeing the consequences of those people cocking a snook at the advice they were given.
I, along with many others, said at the time that we would see a huge surge in deaths in mid January because a lot of people were absolutely determined to mix over Christmas, contrary to guidance. The chickens are now coming home to roost.

For your post to hold much water we would have to have been seeing levels not rising as they were before Christmas. There hasn't been a massive jump but a general progression of infections and deaths that follow. Christmas wouldn't have helped but to suggest its down to Christmas where we are now is simply wrong.

I remember at the start of all this watching a tv programme in March and a very well educated doctor saying if we come out of this with 20,000 deaths it will be some kind of a good result and that shocked me then to think 20,000 deaths and he seemed happy enough and we are nearer to 100,000 and just hope it all slows down very soon!!
Yea, I did. It was frightening, disheartening and massively frustrating knowing that people do not necessarily see this side of it. That peice should be shown and shared across all platforms regularly and hopefully the remaining selfish few will take heed. The pressure on staff is there to see, it should be acknowledged and our own reactions to it should make us all do our bit and take responsibility to help ease the pressureHas anyone just watched the news reports on Royal London Hospital by Clive Myrie on tonight's BBC 6 o'clock news. It was absolutely heart breaking. The NHS staffs are amazing people but you can see how the constant pressure is getting to them.
