Bristol and South Gloucestershire had a similar situation with Cribbs Causeway, the major shopping centre, being in Tier 3 while everything south of it was Tier 2. Now everything is back to 3 though so not to worry!

They could practice some illicit cross border trade that might be needed over the coming years. Tier 4 groceries exchanged for Tier 2 restaurant doggy bags over whatever hedgerow/carpark barrier designates the border.

Shout-out to no-one in government or media doing anything to stop "children don't get covid symptoms" being interpreted as "children don't get covid" or even attempting to encourage children to wear masks. I have seen a couple of kids wearing masks around here, but otherwise not one child at the nearby school or around the neighborhood, even up to college/sixth form age has been wearing one, nor their parents, nor when they get on public transport. They seem to literally believe that they are completely exempt. I wonder if the dire news from the hospitals will spook people into doing what nobody in the public sphere has even attempted to encourage them to do.

I wonder if the dire news from the hospitals will spook people into doing what nobody in the public sphere has even attempted to encourage them to do. At my school, they have to wear them inside in communal areas (eg corridors/stairs). Nearly everyone does. Year 11 aren't always great between classrooms at lunchtime, but I know that mostly cos that's where my duty is. I'd say about 5-10% of students wear a mask in class. School buses I believe they wear them, but I don't ever see that. When they're outside however yeah they come straight off.

Jose posted:Admittedly it's on twitter but a Labour minister in actually doing something shocker Only one thing is that I feel this sort of investigative reporting should be focused on those that co-erce or bring in sex later into the landlord/tenant relationship; this is much more likely to be abusive and exploitative. The three guys in the Daily Mail vid were all from craigslist adverts where they made clear up front what this was about.

Also I agree with the sentiment of this: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jan/02/follow-covid-restrictions-break-rules-compliance quote:It was only as lockdown was eased that compliance began to decrease. Partly, people felt the situation was safer. But other factors contributed too. For many, the new rules were simply too complex to understand. While during lockdown 90% of adults in the UK reported feeling they understood the rules, by August this figure was just 45% in England. Conflicting rules across UK nations, frequent changes to rules, and confusion about dates of announcement (as opposed to dates of implementation) exacerbated the situation.

Mebh posted:Whoops hosed up the links. Fixed now! There's a real sense of government panic coming across in these changes to the vaccine rollout. Like the opening scenes of Enemy At the Gates but with RNA instead of rifles. The MMR panic was started by a few nutters and had a massive effect on public attitudes to immunisation. If we run a national vaccination programme less on science and more "suck-it-and-see" that's going to do huge damage to public trust. If you elect the kind of people who think running a government is best done by bluffing your competence, it's inevitable they'll try that approach on other fields too. Unfortunately, it seems it's medicine's turn at the moment.

Convex posted:Also I agree with the sentiment of this: I'd be all for a complete refresh and simplification of the rules. The tiers are a shitshow. They simply do not work when they change every 3 days and when they are based on arbitrary council boundaries that give rise to issues such as someone posted here where one side of the road is a different tier than the other. And it does not help that there is a very vague and inconsistent mixture of law vs guidance. Just put in a March/April-style national lockdown, with simple clear (and strict, enforced) rules, for a 4 week time period with a set review after, say, 3 weeks. At that review tell people a) lockdown will end as planned with some less strict, but national restrictions/guidance or b) it will be extended for a further set time period with another set review date. And as far as possible, this approach should be coordinated w/ the devolveds.

Ewan posted:Decent article. Yeah. That should have been the response on Brexit Day/AstraZeneca announcement day. Simplest thing to sell in the world about how our proud British vaccine was coming in to save the day but needed a national lockdown to make it the most effective. Something along the lines of (but better written than)... Today we make the decision to bring in a national lockdown. It has been a hard decision to come to, but we need to protect our heroes who work in the NHS from being overwhelmed by this more virulent strain. Thanks to our British Vaccine being approved and rolling out from Monday, we are confident that we are almost through this. To ensure the vaccination runs as smoothly as possible, we want to minimise the load on our heroic hospitals. With this lockdown, by the end of January we are sure that the case load will fall and the most vulnerable in our society will have received their first vaccinations. Then we can enjoy our freedoms having left the EU.
