So what do they speak in Kent, Essex, Sunderland?
What language do they speak in the red areas?

Do the tiers reflect the infection numbers / rates of increase anyway? I doubt it.
Don't get too comfortable there, Eddie.
I've been in Blackpool today, and our manager up that way said they were going into tier 4 (which I didn't know existed).

Be glad you aren`t the manager
You. Just you.
The R value is the acceleration of the virus. If you were driving a car an R of 1.0 is keeping you speed (number of cases) steady. An R of less than 1 is taking your foot off the acceleration a bit to slow down, an R of over 1 is making the car go faster.
So the R value lets you know if things are getting worse or better. Yes, you can get that from the number of cases but the R value is the data cleaned up and standardised.
That's not a perfect analogy, because it's an exponential rather than an absolute decrease in speed as you'd get braking a car.
We will see, but it appears to be similar to flu where the strain of virus changes, (it's reported in the news that the covid strain in Basildon and south Essex is different to elsewhere) and I wonder how effective the vaccination will continue to be.
Loosely they do. There's too much politics in it, London should have been tier 3 earlier given the rates of increase.
There's dozens of different strains around the world, they're minor variations so far which seem to be susceptible to the same vaccines.
Like Benny's mum throwing out his 'adult material' without checking to see what particular genre he'd chosen this week. The magazines might be different but his mum doesn't care.
But the potential for mutations is another reson to Vaccine hard and fast and get everyone. Every time someone catches it there's more chance for it to mutate.

Tier ratings also consider the spare bed capacity in hospitals in that area.
You don't catch a cold from having the window open. Being too cold does make your immune system weaker, but it's mostly an old wives tale.
I already believed that but, if I had posted so, some on here would have a pop just because it was me wot said it.
I am so universally loved and respected that my word will be accepted without question.
