R number is now creeping back to 1

[Jedi boro]

The infection rate in the UK has increased and is close to the point where new coronavirus cases increase, government scientific advice says.
The so-called "R-number" needs to be kept below one in order to stay in control of cases.
But the revised figures from the SAGE group of scientific advisors say the R-number is now between 0.7 and 1.0.

This btw does not take into account the recent new relaxed measures of the last few days.

Can any here that old YAZZ song

Does it account for the unofficial relaxation of rules last Friday?

You can’t argue with the science remember.

Germany is hovering above @1 and was back up at 1.13 at the start of the week.

London is a strange one. Why would they be half the North East & Yorkshire given their population density - unless they have all had it and herd immunity has kicked in. Whereas with the lockdown we are dragging it out.

Atypical may well be right that London will start to creep back up. the tube is awful for spreading disease.

Is it now time to have a region focussed approach instead of this London centric tail wagging dog approach we have now.

Apparently the rise is over the past 7 days here, so pretty obvious it’s cos of VE Day.

Just listened to Hancock saying how everything they have done was to protect the elderly. :mad:
No it wasn't you liar! You tried to fight it on the cheap and were scared stiff the NHS would break.
Therefore hospital patients were sent to care homes untested. You're three months too late.

The new R data is from 3 weeks ago doesn't take account of the last week.

This mythical R number is also guesswork.

almost certainly. You would never know there was a lockdown happening here. Still the only good news is it's so low at the moment.

I was expecting the relaxing of the lockdown to be reversed after 2 weeks. Looks like I was wildly optimistic.

Yes just heard that incredible isn’t it.

I don't think it's anything to get remotely worried about just yet. The r number in Germany shot up for a couple of days after their lockdown, it's back down again now.

I try not to watch the daily update nonsense anymore - I get too annoyed listening to the rubbish and lies being spouted. It’s a shame the blue fairy from Pinocchio can’t come along an put that spell on Hancòcks nose in particular
