Cardiff, Swansea and Llanelli to join those other areas with restrictions this weekend - must be about three quarters of the population on Wales involved now?
I can't see anywhere that says what the actual restrictions are for Cardiff yet thoughQuote:

Almost all the surrounding areas were all already in lockdown, so the only difference from this is that you can't go to the vale of glamorgan without a good reason.Quote:

In other news, here is a cheerful piece from the New Statesman....

There is rumour that the partial lockdown has resulted in a drop in cases in Caerphilly, but even if they are released from lockdown they're fecked. All the other areas have got them surrounded so they still can't go anywhere.
He's a writer mainly. Judging by his books he's been a gloom-laden liberal all his life..Quote:

this reeks of corruption
Just 4,044 new cases today - I know they're weekend figures, but that's a big drop from the norm of the last week or so.
Not surprising though is it.Quote:

The most corrupt gaggle of cuunts we've ever had as a government and that's some feat.
Anyone know when these cheap tests with results in 30 mins will be available here?
Coronavirus: New global test will give results 'in minutes' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-54331921
Bit of a game changer if we could all get plenty of them

So it's nota total feck up yet, although the potential to be one remains :hehe:Quote:

I would imagine it's because they're not really testing people (dead or alive) for it.Quote:
