Fears are growing that daily coronavirus case numbers could, in a few weeks, hit the figures seen in March and April.

Government figures have stressed the plans being drawn up stop short of a full national lockdown, as seen in the spring, when the country was told to"stay at home".

Mr Johnson's message to parents and teachers was:"We want to keep the schools open... as far as we possibly can."The rate of cases per 100,000 across Spain, France and the UK Professor Chris Whitty, England's chief medical officer and Sir Patrick Vallance, the government's chief scientific adviser, warned the prime minister at a meeting on Wednesday evening that the disease was now doubling every seven to eight days.

Where are we on the old 'eat out to help out' message now? It just seems like the advice we follow now appears to be our fault. Gove said last week that the 'rule of six' would crack this. The testing system appears to have had a few teething issues so far.

Praying 🙏

SCOTLAND. Coronavirus (COVID-19): daily data for Scotland. 19 September 2020. 3 new reported death(s) of people who have tested positive. Scotland death toll. Of the people who have tested positive: 2,505 have died. coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) COVID19 Scotland

Eat Out to Help Out BUT only outside and only until 9PM 🙃

Did it sneak here by dinghy

We can’t compare current cases to those at the beginning of the pandemic,as there was zero community testing then.The virus isn’t weaker, we just had way more cases we didn’t know about in the beginning. There could also be another 32,500 cases in the 750,000 unable to get a test

Wasn’t long feared, it was fairly obvious comparison to other countries.. Boris wake up or give up😷

TF we’ve got Dido Harding a conservative party business woman leading our Robust world beating track and trace system (phew)

We will pay for you to go out the whole of August build the economy but then we will say oh now look what you public morons have done..created a second wave! See it's actually us public that are incompetent not the government!! 🙄🙄I think that's what they are saying 🤔🤔🤔

Death rate?

But it doesn't exist according to a lot of idiots. It's the same as flu. You're more likely to get knocked over a bus than die of covid they say. They're right and the scientists and experts are wrong. Sod the vulnerable so they can go the pub.

Just not needed

Why is blackpool not in lockdown ,town hotels beach seafront packed today , expecting cases to surge now

It's not the second wave . It never went away !

Lock the country down then before you murder more people BorisJohnson

Get the pubs closed again and lockdown

Well there’s a shock 🙄 NOT. But hey we’re closing pubs at 10pm so all safe from COVID. This government needs sacking... we demand a general election because the tories are completely inept

Government announces pandemic to hit UK, nobody is ill, nobody is coughing and nobody is in Hospital. Still, carry on England!!

True to form he describes it as a weather forecaster would describe an unexpected storm, like a wave of inclement weather blowing from across the Channel. The scale & speed of re-infection is directly related to Govt policy - social freedoms, return to work etc. Own it.

Well duh, people have started going out again & more people are getting tested. Obviously the recorded cases have gone up.

Weird how deaths haven't doubled.

Hancock and SAGE guessing on what to do next. If in doubt lockdown the north.. That old shit will come out again save the NHS. Please no fucking clapping again.
