        This is why I keep getting migraines. Migraines, exhaustion, nap. On a loop.

        Sadly there are two factors at play. A slow, inept government. And misinformation that you yourself are debunking daily and general selfishness where people ignore rules, basics or believe fake news and do what they want.

        Nearly 80k (79,818) people tested positive for COVID-19 in the United Kingdom on the 29th of December. Data still not considered complete so the number is expected to increase. pic.twitter.com/BVmMjqYTTK

        I’m fairly sure this isn’t what they meant by “flatten the curve”. We’re in a desperate state with a PM who actually doesn’t seem to realise the seriousness of the situation judging by today’s tv interviewpic.twitter.com/wWocPtGseq

        Do you know how comparable occupancy is between now and April, eg differences in hospital/ICU capacities etc?

        Best case there were more delays than usual and the effect of Tier 4 comes a little later than previous lockdowns. If case numbers do not start dropping in 2 or 3 days though, this will be an even bigger problem than it already is.

        It’s frankly terrifying - that’s why I have spent a lot of my holiday time arguing with conspiracy theorists. Sadly Yeadon etc are really not doing us any favours
