I noticed our figure has gone down again thank goodness.
Latest from Hancock who is in need of a a geography lesson, definitely not the South East unless south Gloucester has suddenly moved.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

I once got asked at work, by an American gentleman, which tube he needed to get on to reach Stonehenge. I told him to get on the circle line.
Geography knowledge is failing worldwide!
Great news that the COVID rate is dropping again, fingers crossed.......

Hancock certainly needs to be taught a lesson, but it's not in geography.

Interesting stats from Germany, but what do you expect when people are stupid enough to believe in djinns and ju-ju rather than science?

Although Dover's rate has come down to 61/100000, a lot of other town's rates have come down further.

Do Dover's figures include those just passing through the port or land on the beaches as well those who actually live in the area?

Not very helpful.
I only asked as it would mean Dover's figures are always be misleading if they include those just passing through.

My understanding is, having done quite a few tests, it's based on your postcode that you register the test at, but what I'm not too sure about is if they include the LFD or just PCR, because that would make a difference.

I see that from the latest figures Tower Hamlets in London has vaccinated the lowest, at 14%.
If only they did postal vaccinations I'm sure they would have the vaccination rate up to 150% in hours?

Keith, Bob is talking about the vaccination rates, not the infection rates.

They appear to be getting a shift on in Dover - down to 50 year old people.
