...or just carry on with the tier thing?

Either way, I don't mind, ours was mixing with my daughter and son in law, she's had a recent antibody test and is still producing antibodies from the March lockdown when she had Covid,if we go into lockdown, I'll shelve plans to see her on Christmas Day , it's as simple as that

perhaps, but the guidelines set down in each country have been ignored by some anyway, seems many on AB will adhere to their respective tiers If Boris calls a halt to the festive break, i doubt it will make a lot of difference those who want to party, will continue to do irrespective of what guidelines are set out and by who.

Numbers of infected people are dying in Germany.She has made a decisive decision. I doubt she will do ‘ a u turn ‘

[emmie]

numbers of infected people seem to be rising in the capital. I think they are considering putting us in Tier three or so pasta mentioned before.

[woofgang]

the numbers here in the Uk seem to be stabilising/dropping, unlike Wales.

[dannyk13]

I will be surprised if there isn't a spike after Christmas.

[anneasquith]

I agree Danny. It’s our responsibility to keep ourself safe, I’m sure you will agree .

[anneasquith]

Woof, Wales is in the uk.

[Bobbisox1]

Emmie I'm sure we will be kept in tier 3 for all numbers have dropped considerably in the NE

[dannyk13]

Anne //I’m sure you will agree .//
I do agree.

[emmie]

many won't though and it doesn't help when idiots like Piers Corbyn an anti vaxxers and lockdown denier still spout their nonsense. many have followed his lead seemingly

[emmie]

we aren't in tier 3 as far as i am aware Bobbi, but there is talk of upping that to Tier 3 for London.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes I know you in the capital are in tier 2 , sadly your numbers are increasing

[Apc2604]

We should do the same as Germany and enforce it properly. It's ridiculous to ease up for a few days at Christmas and will make for a very unhappy New Year.

[emmie]

how do you police it apc, you simply can't.

[Apc2604]

And I live in the only area of Norfolk where numbers have fallen!

[Bobbisox1]

Emmie No it can't be policed , only for people to act responsible and I just can't see that happening across the country somehow

[emmie]

neither can i Bobbi, no matter who is making these guides.

[Bobbisox1]

We have the lowest R rate in the whole of the UK ( allegedly)

one can act responsibly but there are many who haven;t up till now, the advice from governments aren;t going to change their ways. Live and be damned it seems to be
