Again it’s only half a story. The article explicitly says that half the students are not there and the other half are doing a mix of online and in person studies. That’s not what’s happening in schools here. They’re also checking temperatures etc at the doors. Is that happening here?

With just 18 positives out of almost 11000 tests, I would still call that encouraging even allowing for the smaller class sizes/social distancing measures (temp checking is not very effective as a means of preventing spread).

Must admit - Burnham is coming across as excellent, regulalry!
The King of the North!
Nah he is as much of a Cnut as Cummings.
Low numbers would be as much evidence of socially distancing being effective rather than schools not being an issue though surely? If schools absolutely have to stay open then I think finding an effective balance of in school and out of school would help.
Okay mate. Because you, Virgil is single handedly fighting for small businesses and individuals in Manchester.

What makes you say that?
That’s been bothering me too. Although I heard an ID consultant the other day say that it’s really just continued exponential growth that started in July/August. Which is a fair point.
For wanting parity with his neighbours? That seems a pretty reasonable ask, in fairness. I don't like his tactics but if he's being backed into a corner for no good reason then it seems like that's the government's fault more than anyone else's. What could possibly be a good reason for paying them less while having them under restrictions for a longer period than almost anywhere else?
You won't be saying that when Mancunians are dying in overflowing field hospitals because everybody now thinks its ok to ignore the government.
I don’t know. Cases doubled from the start of August to the end of August. It’s increased 7 fold since then. The curve was relatively flat before that. I’m no expert though, I just wouldn’t believe half baked explanations from politicians on that.
He stood up for what was right, and what he believed in, and he was completely right to do so. Those extra bodies are all on Boris, not Burnham.
It certainly has nothing to do with the schools being open, or Universities. It also has nothing to do with being encouraged back into the workplace, or eating out to help out. That upwards curve if solely my fault for having a chat in my neighbours garden.
Looks like it.
I said we'd see above 20k on cases due to the reporting lag, same could be applied with the deaths. It'll pick up to about a 150 daily average this week.
Closer to 180 IMO
Thank god for that.
I honestly think it is right now. Don’t know exact stats but it has to be more than half looking at what people are saying.Blimey is Poland really that bad?!Think U.K was estimated at 30% of people who were reluctant to take a vaccine for whatever reason.
Not the tories if brexit goes the same way as the pandemic
He has to fight this. Liverpool got £44m which works out to about £29 per capita.
No he's not, Cummings is a level cnut on his own.
Not to mention the money Jenrick has given his constituency.
This'll save the gov a fair bit of money when the inevitable spread of tier 3 shutdowns come about. You'll get what you're given, say thankyou and then shut the feck up. Can't have jumped up local officials begging for money, such oiks need to be made examples of.
He stood up for protecting his votes. If he cared about anything else he would not have been so vocal and so public with it all.
I'm glad the government has made an example out of him. Regional government needs to reminded this situation is not a vote winner to be played with. If we don't have a central strategy to deal with the virus we will never get the better of it.
Central strategy we are making it up as we go along.You underestimate Cummings.
So was it Burnham who ignored his own scientists in mid September? Did he also send the University students back into halls?
