As the other (Stay or go) thread appears to be locked, I've started this one. There is no specific subject matter so hopefully everyone can continue to update others as to what's happening in their lives and areas. I live in the suburbs (but hope to move to rural Northumberland in next few years) and found it really illuminating to hear how those living in rural areas are being affected by issues such as tourists and lack of access to shops etc

Just watching Channel 4 news. Report from rain forest in Brazil. Reporter says it’s easier and faster to get a C19 Test there, than to get one in UK.🤷‍♀️Indigenous communities looking after themselves, self isolating as families, caring for each other. Very interesting report.

I don't think it would work here, trying to follow that lifestyle would be almost impossible.

Yeah, things are way too selfish and materialistic here😁 Interesting that they use modern medicine alongside herbal remedies. Village nurse was fully trained, and they had a well stocked village clinic. Small community, I don’t think they had any deaths. These are the folks Bolsanaro doesn’t care about, happy to let progress wipe out their lives. I found it interesting.

I quite agree, plus families tend to be spread all over the country, if not the world these days. If we all lived like the rain forest communities, there wouldn't be any need for care homes.

Mr Hancock said today that the overall average of the R rate is less than one so there is no issues and the easing will carry on.

So obviously the Southwest and North West are not important in the grand scheme of things,

we will suffer while the rest of the country crack on.

What he stated was that all areas were below 1, including the NW and SE, so please get the facts right and don't twist words to suit your agenda. It was only the statement by one small group of scientist who said that he thought that those areas were above 1.

So you are saying that he was ignoring this "small?"group of scientists, as it did not it seems fit in with the spin

The Cummings effect is still there

No what I am saying is that majority of information that he has received shows that the R rate is les than 1 in every region of the country. There are always those that hold a different view. You only have to look on here to see that!

Who knows?

As with you. Nellie, we live in NW England, but it’s a huge area. Is the “R rate “ the same in Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, Clitheroe , Roughlee, Stockport, Workington, Windermere, Penrith etc...

Maybe, but maybe not. Need testing, testing, testing...

I thought what he said was that when considering all the models the R was less than 1. An individual model may well show an R of 1 but when they are all considered and a mean calculated the R values were as he stated.
