So - UK - Which New Year Tier Are You In?
Make the most of it, you have a few days
You're obviously not watching Hancock's press conference.
Massive increase in cases and all of the eastern side of England likely to be in 4 as the new variations spreads. How close to the Cambridge border are you?
The leader of Cambridgeshire County Council, Conservative councillor Steve Count, said that moving the county into Tier 4 restrictions will not “on its own” drive down rates.
We have all worked hard to keep rates of the virus down in the county and so it is disappointing that infections are now rising quickly once again, but news of the variant can perhaps explain why this is happening,” he said.
“Moving into Tier 4 will have an effect on people’s lives, but on its own it won’t drive down rates.
“We need people to do even more to break the chain of infection and stop Covid in its tracks.
Er. I've watched Matt Hancock's presentation. We live in Oundle. In East Northamptonshire. A lot of my family live in East Anglia. Won't make a dent in our preparations as we've all agreed to stay at home.SaintK wrote: Wed Dec 23, 2020 3:57 pmMake the most of it, you have a few days

Depends which side of the estate.

Waverley's an island of tier 2 surrounded by 4, but we've just been told we're joining everyone else from Boxing Day
Yes you've mentioned where you live once or twice. So you know how quickly it's spreading in your neck of the woods and will be ready for tier 4 in the next week or so.Globus wrote: Wed Dec 23, 2020 4:05 pmEr.

Been in tier 3 for a while now.
Tier 1, 2, 3, 4.... Who cares? The only Tier worth a F is Tier 0. Deliver the vaccine by drone or dart me through the window. Anything.

Bastards!!!
Just had a Christmas note and photo from my mate and his wife in Christchurch
Cafe's, pubs, restaurants and people talking and relaxing together in the sunshine
Aaaaaagh
Did he mention the boxing day test in the Cricket?
Oops, sorry. Shouldn't rub it in. Our days have started getting shorter and I don't think Covid is finished with us yet either.
I drink and I forget things.
Yep we have been surrounded and now about to join them.sockwithaticket wrote: Wed Dec 23, 2020 4:16 pm Waverley's an island of tier 2 surrounded by 4, but we've just been told we're joining everyone else from Boxing Day
Fortunately Jeremy Hunt must have had many Christmas engagements to attend to keep us out til now.
Tier 3 - have been for a while despite being well below the National averages to date. I can see why we have been grouped with some surrounding areas - if we were in tier 2 we’d have all sorts of beer tourists infecting my favourite pubs 
Anyway, have as happy a Christmas as you can, people, wherever you are.

Knowing him he’ll be surfing or on a 50km bike ride
Well you’ll probably deal with it as well as you have done so far

Tier 4. Fairly bleak

Tier 4. As ever, we Southerners get the highest possible attention.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if we go to tier 4 and maybe even higher. I'm expecting to be handcuffed to the Management with enough chain to make a cup of tea and attempt to cook the turkey in the oven.
This is possibly worse than getting Covid 19 and having a restful Christmas in a Nightingale ward.
