People like this should be charged with manslaughter. Why does this country produce some absolute scumbags?
Nothing to do with Covid, but I was reading today about Cornish fish for the EU being left to rot because of delays sorting the paperwork at the port. Apparently the documents have to be printed in every language used in the EU before the fish can be exported, and they have to be examined by a vet for disease etc. !!
Utter cretins!!!!
Couldnt they have got a water cannon and used it on these pr!cks.

Lots of tests shown in the Wales stats, so 2,300 new cases doesn’t seem too bad. In fact, although I realise it’s wrong to base too much on one day, the figures would indicate that the lockdown is having an effect in South Wales, but there’s a problem in the north where, apparently, the new variant has arrived

I really hope the last paragraph of this article is right;-

Rate down slightly.

There were a high number of tests done though, so I don't think the fact they are weekend figures comes into it that much as far as new cases are concerned.
Changing subject, I've heard talk about Vitamin D can play a part in lessening the effectiveness of Covid, looking at this, there may be something to it;-

The new daily figure shows that a total of 86,000 have been vaccinated in Wales now and it seems that the effects of locking down just before Christmas are now being seen because there is a definite downward trend in new cases in south Wales - the concern I'd say is that, apart from it looking likely that it's arrived in North Wales around the Wrexham area, is Wales still not seeing much of the new variant and, if not, how badly will it hit us (Liverpool's cases have quadrupled in a week apparently)?

Just 1,332 new cases in Wales today from a smaller than usual number of tests which may or may not indicate demand for them is dropping. Vaccinations are about 5,000 up on yesterday and there were sixteen deaths.

Its still very much here and hospitals are at their peak, but definitely slowing and on the decline in South Wales, a long way to go but reasons to be positive. In and around Christmas was chaos. From a personal point of view aunties, uncles, neighbours and a whole host of people close to home were getting it (All recovered thankfully) but now starting to hear less and less of people testing positive.
Hopefully at this rate the kids will be back in school after half term which has been mooted and then cautiously and slowly, all other sectors can start opening up through March leading up to Easter.
Still, as i say, long way to go but does seem moving in the right direction.
Sounds good
Covid: Large trial of new treatment begins in UK https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55639096
I really don't get this testing stratergy.
In Wales over the last week the nuber of peole going to tst centres for tests had dropped off quite dramatically while you think that as there is so much of it about they should be packed, yet in England, there is a new centre just opened north of Bristol and there is a que out of there all the way down the road from 8 AM every day. There doesn't seem to be any reason for the dsifference.
That said, the wlk in centre staff in Merthyr, who were doing about 400 tests a bay were visited by the HSE last week and have been told that now they are only allowed to do 140 a day. It's madness.
I can't ait for when we can start closing some of these permanently.
