Yep, Tier 2 for me. Where I live has very low infection rate at 53/100,000 but we get lumped in with the rest of Herts. Hey, could be worse I guess....

Unless they serve substantial meals like the Conservative donor owned Wetherspoons ;)

Here is the online statement which gives an idea of thinking for each region and why they got the grade they did - https://questions-statements.parliam...-11-26/hcws608

It seems that positive rates in the elderly are (rightly) critical to the decisions

Unless you live in Cornwall or the Scilly Isles you're in 2 or 3.

If you live in the North you're probably in 3.

Garbage. I appreciate they have a very difficult task, but London in 2?!!!!!

Can't let the M25 bubble not have access to their Gin and Sushi Bars!

I'll be glad when all this perpetual whining comes to end, but somehow it will continue endlessly, as I think people are only just getting started.

To be honest Devon should have been in the same tier as Cornwall.

Heard this point a few times now about the M25 bubble getting special rules. MPs away from their constituencies clearly need to eat out and drink.

A populist theory and not an evidence-based one - Kent is in Level 3, for example.

Blanketing London boroughs & the City of London into one tier is a ridiculous move.

One of the boroughs has a current case rate nearly the same as MIddlesbrough.. There are also several boroughts with cases less than 100/100,000

In our Toby before the lockdown we were joking that there should be an apparent "meal" that is put out on the table so you can enjoy a pint.

You're right; but so are they. A little matter of the Underground and London buses.

A lot of people are starting to have had enough.

Some of the new rules/guidelines/laws are utterly ridiculous.

4,000 people or 50% capacity (whichever is less) can attend football matches/concerts in Tier 2? Yet, I cannot visit my elderly father in law in his own home in and goes out once a day for a walk ? (not easy for him mentally as he normally spends all of his spring/summer & autumn on his motorbikes)

There's no cohesion, It would also appear a lack of evidence based decision making in certain rules.

You'll have to explain that one to me, sorry, not enough coffee.
