London nearing Herd Immunity ?

If lock down suppression was limiting new cases would expect it to have a more uniform effect, OR to have the opposite effect from what we are seeing in the numbers; that the worst area in March would be the last to come under control because areas with few cases would have been prevented from catching up by their lock down.

Seems the virus just runs it's course until infected people are just running into people that have already been infected. And that is now happening in London.

Yes, all the handshaking paying off

Maybe London can come out of lock down ahead of everywhere else

exactly get on with it ffs

whannkers in there safe little towns..sh1te scared Cockernees are gonna visit them  FAKE REFUGEES WELCOME but not COCKERNEES....

Surely London lockdown was first, the areas slow to lock down like North East High in list

Another week may show much better news and better indication of reasons.

HOW many muslims in your town/city hamish.... 0

At Monday’s daily briefing, Witty estimated an infection rate of 10% for London and 6 to 8% for the rest of the country.

perhaps I'm wrong but he has not inspired much confidence.

Were you conceived in a Gin Palace on the Old Kent Road wounded?

My guess would be North of 20% in London

Nothing like the war? Nothing compared to the Blitz?

My God the people in this country are pathetic if they think this is hardship. I am sure there is hardship out there, big financial worries even hunger for some but I might suggest if your children are not picking out grains of rice in the sand or looking for food to eat in rubbish dumps you might not know what real worry and hardship is.

We are so lucky in this country. Even  the air  is relatively fresh and the water is clean. I have absolutely no time for whinges who think this is tough.

Those old people born just before the war are tough though.

.. but she met my Dad in the Thomas a Becke

Did he knock her out? although to be fair to the girls I bet they could throw the 'ammer to defend themsleves or certainly a tidy slap if they were ladies!

Oldham is the poorest town in England.  It was one of the worst areas affected on April 17th

Could you imagine the World Wars being fought under the spotlight of today’s  24 hour, hand wringing, media, “why weren’t more underground shelters provided Mr Churchill, you had ample warning” ? why haven’t we enough Fighter pilots ? Why is the food situation so grave?  Have these homes our children are being evacuated to been inspected,
Is it safe for small boats to cross the channel, should ordinary members of the public be risking their lives this way, isn’t it the Government’s responsibility, how many lives could be saved by surrendering Mr Churchill.

some people been a bit picky like to think weve moved on a tad in 75 years,if hunt had acted on his own exercise from only 3 years ago, maybe 20,000 lives would have been saved,
whats the saying, no point in growing older if you don't learn anything,every day is a school day,
