The 9am figures not disclosed yet?

I'm not so sure. Looking at Randy's last chart, it seems a bit unfair someone living safely in Devon to be locked down because Hull has a lot of cases. If you see what I mean? As long as travel to lower tiers is restricted then you can lockdown hot spots or open up safe areas
I suppose I'm really talking about local differentiations ST. Like last time when people from Middlesbrough and Stockton were piling into Stokesley. It was ridiculous really.

Yeah that's true. When the South East went in to tier (3, I think? Maybe 4?) One of my mates could see the lower tier area out of his window. I know the border has to be somewhere but it was rough for him, being able to watch people with more freedom
 
It makes ZERO sense to keep restrictions in place once those nine groups have received their second dose and allowed the 2-3 weeks to pass by for full immunisation.

Mass testing. Lateral flow testing. Better anti-viral treatments. Effective vaccines. Vaccine tweaking for new variants. Promising developments on pill/nasal medications.

Science is well ahead of this virus now, and wasn't that the message from the start? Going with the science, now looking at the data. We were told time and time again, protect the NHS, avoid it from being overwhelmed. A few thousand cases are probably what we will be looking at in terms of living with this virus indefinitely. A tier system will only exacerbate public opinion. Deaths and admissions are drastically down; over 99.4% of those that have died of COVID were within the first nine groups.

If we prolong this lockdown throughout the next couple of months and into the summer, no doubt the likes of Whitty will be warning about the autumn/colder weather on the way and once again, we will never get out of this. Herd immunity does need to be built up; I feel a bit uncomfortable when people shout out 'survival rate is 99.7%' whilst that is true to an extent; it is skewed for those older/with underlying health conditions. Yet, at what point is the economy beyond the point of no return? And are we never going to have full football stadiums, music festival, nightclubs ever again in fear of this?
Not to derail the thread but di you get out of China or are you still stuck there?

Impressive 2nd dose figures there 👏

I suspect we have about reached our background level of infections now. It will probably start to climb as we open up dependent on the weather.
 
I don't doubt it's school kids driving the infection rates bear. In a few weeks it will be adults also, then the summer respite, hopefully.

"According to UK Government, on "27 March 2021, 850 historic cases were removed from the dashboard. Due to a laboratory processing error, these tests were reported as positive when they should have been recorded as void. This affected specimen dates between 23 and 25 March in local authorities primarily in the North East and Yorkshire. The cumulative total number of people tested positive was revised down on 27 March 2021. Historic published date totals have not been changed."

Zero cases for Teesside today.
 
Does that mean 850 people were told they were positive or was the mistake found before they were informed?
