Covid infection rates have started rising sharply in parts of Western Europe, prompting the introduction of fresh restrictions and lockdowns.
Whereas England fully unlocked in mid-July, parts of Europe did not do this until the autumn, and in many places kept tougher restrictions in place even as they did. It was felt the increase in the spread of the virus would be mitigated by the better weather, meaning more time spent outdoors, and would avoid the winter crunch when pressure on the health system increases across the board.The UK has, in effect, already had the wave the rest of Europe is seeing and has managed to avoid being swamped by it.
That's because the UK is ploughing ahead faster than other nations with boosters. Again part of this is related to timing. As the UK was quicker off the mark with Covid vaccinations initially, there are greater numbers of people becoming eligible for a booster. There is no other part of Europe that has seen Covid infections held so stable with very few restrictions in place.
Yes, we can just carry on as usual? We are in control of that choice?
Is this “Europe”?
Europe-style? Jesus. The UK approach led by England has been to let more people die over the summer. Our hospitalisations and deaths have been higher than the rest of Europe since July. Letting the bodies pile high in their thousands strategy. 200 dead a day, never mind.
Of course. We just do nothing cross our fingers as we all hope we survive the winter. Don’t do anything slightly risky like driving though.
Is this an actual question for us the twitterati or another BBC attempt at shit stirring and causing unrest
Of course we can..All it takes is for the gov to not implement one. Lockdowns are political decisions, nothing else. The idea that they are inevitable if numbers reach a certain level is nonsense. NoVaccinePassports NoVaccineMandates
It seems likely that N.Ireland will be forced back into lockdown within the next few weeks. The situation in hospitals is already out of control. This is largely due to extremely poor handling of the situation by a hopelessly divided Stormont Executive.
Yes. Of course. But what do you gain by phrasing this as a question?
Remember it’s the people living there that have caused this. I’ll bet they all had their MMR jab. Hell mend them.
Not without our scummy main steam disgraceful media pushing for a lockdown.
BBCWorld “The war on Ethiopia is the war on all black nations’ independence. Hence, I call up on all black nations to stand with Ethiopia in the spirit of Pan- Africanism”- Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed NoMore Ethiopiaprevails
It’s probably irrelevant but our local Sainsburys at Longbridge have removed all the screens from the self service checkouts. So is that an indication of no more lockdowns? COVID
Yes
Yes, by continuing to ignore it.
lockdown ShutDown to hit the uk as spillover contagion from Europe,via travel,spread & infections,prevalence by people,COVID19 merged with flu pathogen mutants to unleash hell break loose,virus spike & variants resisting vaccines,to cause hospital chaos,umpteen fatalities
They will because BoJo won't shut the country down as he'll have to pay the people that can't work from home and now people are vaccinated, money is more important than health
Facts. 1. Drop of 4.5% hospital admissions against last week 2. Drop of 5.2% deaths, against last week 3. Rise of 8.4% testing positive. 4. Deaths within 28 days of test. 143,972. 0.2% of the population. 5. 99.8% still alive.
U.K. government is too scared of the anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers to introduce any restrictions or even simple measures like mandatory mask wearing. ‘Let the bodies pile high’.
The bbc funded Jimmy saville
Even though so many have taken the vaccine, thanks to those who think covid isn't real, we more than likely end up In a lockdown.
By pushing the 'natural immunity' line, the government and media are bolstering anti-vaxxers who insist their immune systems are strong enough to withstand or see off Covid. This has proven to be catastrophically false: see figures for unvaccinated in hospital and deaths.
Of course unless the BBC create a panic. Seems that's what the BBC is good at vicderbyshire bbclaurak
Europe style?, because Austria sending ppl that doesn't want to get the jab to lockdown, this is Europe style for BBC? I mean for tory propaganda /bbc?
Yes.. by not announcing a new lockdown.
Well, we know what the BBC wants that’s for sure
Situation bad in UK for months that's why schools were opened up with no mitigations to seed herd immunity. BBC looked the other way so as not to offend its masters.
How a Ugandan teaches English lesson
Yes by turning BBC lockdown propaganda off and misleading covid statistics etc etc etcscrap the BBC
When did we leave Europe🤷♀️🤡
We've been at the level the Europeans are reaching now for nearly three months. It's not going to get much higher than this so no we won't be locking down
The majority of intelligent people will refuse to lockdown ever again. If you want to wear a mask, you wear one. If you want to stay indoors, you stay indoors. But don't even think about implementing any more ridiculous restrictions.
Bet you can't wait, rubbing your hands that more than 3 people will watch Mrs Brown's boys Christmas special!!
Yes we can
Yes. End of conversation.
Yeh! Of course we will, just let the bodies & NHS wards pile high to get ourselves a great Christmas in 2021. On present figures within its 12 days only 1800 people won’t see 2022, and an additional 3’000 won’t even make it to see Santa. Sacrifice Better than a mandatory mask 😷
We can't afford another lockdown end of story!!!
it is interesting that more than ever now its uk and Europe,arnt we the same.clearly not to many anymore
'Europe style'? FFS, who writes for the BBC these days?
No
Yeah cause government is not listening to the science clearly. We are doing so much better than the rest of Europe. Antibody tests are what is needed not passports.
DefundTheBBC
Covid thrives on indecision.
Europe style?
Stop the absurd obsessive reporting of it for a start. Maybe report cancer diagnoses and deaths and people can, quite rightly, freak out about how little is done for that….
Are we not European then ?
