He will make an announcement today at 2.30pm on this and the new area restrictions - nobody higher than Tier 4 though

Now I saw a photo yesterday of a Nightingale hospital that had been completely stripped out bare ... just the walls , food and lighting remained but Hancock just confirmed that the Nightingales were all on standby if required !!!!

Sky News now

Laura Duffell a nurse at a London hospital


She opened with ‘ it’s absolutely horrific ! ‘
“ dread and fear .. would sum things up “
“ some hospitals running out of oxygen due to extremely high demands “


She also questioned Matt Hancock’s claim that the Nightingales are standing ready ... because as far as she understand things they have been dismantled .
She then said that he should stand by his claim as we need those Nightingales up and running NOW !

But she also questions that there are enough people to staff them given there aren’t even enough to staff the existing hospitals safely


Very enlightening ..

Yes it would mean building/fitting the inside all again.
Unless he says such a thing.....................
He is wrong.

You don't need to be in the shaDow cabinet to have a vote. I'm sue he's not the only one to think this tier system is flawed.. we need to lock down again properly like we did earlier in the year until we've had the vaccine. It's been the only thing that's stopped covid in its tracks.

Fuming. The South have dragged Manchester down. At least I got my haircut today, but my main issue is the gyms closing

I'm gutted too. I was on the motorway earlier and the queue to get off for the Trafford Centre was huge....people getting their sales shopping in before they shut us down

The average cases in Manchester is still lower then London's when they got Tier 2 after the last lockdow

Yeah lancaster has also been placed into tier 4 even though our cases are very low. Surrounding areas are high but they seem to drag everyone into it anyway

West Midlands is in Tier 4 as well.

I've had enough of these half measures. The virus is out of control and the tiers are not working. Close the school, and take another look at what is considered an essential shop because places like Home Bargains, Wilko and B&M have thrived during the first lockdown because everyone was out in force buying non-essentials from them.

Shops that remain open should block off non-essentials. The places I mentioned above should remain open only for medics, cleaning supplies, pet supplies, food, clothing, kitchen essentials (rope off the non-essential kitchen stuff), Essential DIY stuff (Paint and wallpaper is not essential) and personal hygiene products etc. Gardening, toy sections, home living sections, potentially stationary sections beyond the bare essentials and such should be roped off entirely. People will keep going out to buy cushions and throws they don't need just for the sake of it if they are offered in these places.

I think they also need to do what Spain did originally and limit the time shops are open. Have them on a rota system, essentially, have some shops open some days, and then close them so other shops can open etc.
