| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Yet we still can't attend sporting fixtures.
Explain that one.
Oh and after the Martin Thomas thread yesterday, I was amazed you were in your fifties, apologies for thinking you were a schoolboy |  |

Increasing amounts of evidence of political rather than evidence based decisions, our politicians of all hues seem to be taking us for fools. |
Been obvious throughout this entire that Drakeford's entire approach has been about appearing "tougher" than Westminster whether he needs to be or not. It's the same kind of non fact based, oppressive, "we know best" thinking that can be seen in minimum unit pricing too.
Wales is f*cked basically. |  |

Has Drakefords approach done more harm for Wales than good? Continually in Wales we have higher rates generally in Wales than England, yes you can pick out the odd week to show extremes either way, but in general our rates have been higher. Is this down to tighter restrictions meaning that the immune system of the Welsh is lower than the English counterparts who have been allowed more freedom to mix and build up an extra layer to their immune system. |  | | |

I think that when the PE eventually sports, it will show that factors such as poverty have impacted on the spread and mortality rates etc. Wales has more poverty than England which may be a factor, it will be interesting to see how the trends play out in the various areas of England too. |  | | |

But England had 13% of its population in the ethnic groups most effected while Wales only has 3%. | |

You also need to factor in population density and the percentage of BAME in the population, this would favour Wales. | | | |

Alternatively the nuances between the nations have not had a significant effect on a respiratory virus. For example , you can close nightclubs but if houses can have 30 in a party and the pubs are open there is little effect. Young people have their lives restricted and businesses and jobs are put at risk.
We were told time after time that mixing of households was the biggest risk and that outdoors was safer. Right now you can't go to an outdoor sporting event but household mixing is fine.
This increasingly looks like a restriction on freedoms for political purposes. [Post edited 12 Jan 2022 9:00]

Population density is very low in Wales. London has nearly 3 times the population of Wales yet the total area of Wales is 12 more than London. That makes London 36 more densely population than Wales.
England as a whole is 6 times larger than Wales with a population 19 times that of Wales so is approximately 3 times more densely populated. | |

A major point for me some of the Transport for Wales trains are jam packed with people standing in an enclosed space and no air circulation with many not wearing masks, no covid pass required. Open air sporting events where you need a covid pass are banned. Makes no sense, he has to realise this. | | | |

Correct throughout the pandemic it has been compulsory to wear mask on the crowded London underground and most people did wear them. | |

I travel a great deal on public transport in England (trains and busses) and they are complying far more than Wales. This was not the case pre Omicron but it certainly is the case now. Do the Welsh think that Drakefords restrictions are enough and they do not need to take personal responsibility, where the English know they have to be responsible for themselves. | | | |

A small sample of people I meet indicates that many are at the 'we just need to get on with life' state of mind. | |

I hundred percent agree with this. We will have various strains of covid for years to come and need to get on with our lives. Take our own precautions to a level we are happy with and try to avoid situations we do not want to be in. But government restrictions have to end for the sanity of the population. If we are happier avoiding crowds fine but don't force it on us. | | | |

We're essentially back where we were at the start of this whole thing, certainly where we should have been at least since most people were vaccinated.
Protect the vulnerable, let everyone else get on with it. | |

What seems to be missing is the work needed to ensure that the shape of the NHS provision reflects a strategy of living with the virus. The madness of doing the same thing and expecting a different result. | |

Correct. |  |

Will Wales lift its restrictions on Friday.
Good news England has cut its isolation period to 5 days.
Scotland has reversed its restrictions on outside crowds at sport events.
France has lifted its restrictions on Travelers from the UK. They no longer need a compelling reason to travel to France and do not need to self isolate on arrival.
Meanwhile Welsh Health Minister comes up with a non sensical statement today. She says 10% of the population in London are currently ill with covoid compared to only 6% in Wales.
The recent ONS Infection survey recently said 1 in 15% londoners test positive for coronavirus that is about 6.66% and at least of half have very mild or no symptoms.
The number of cases in London has been falling for over a week.
Current cases per 100,000 last 7 days in Wales 1744.
Current cases per 100,000 last 7 days in London 1489.
Makes you wonder why a health minister can make such basic errors. Unfortunately she probably advises Drakeford. [Post edited 13 Jan 2022 14:06]

Not only that, London also has considerably lower levels of vaccination.
There is no justification for us to be under stricter restrictions than in England. | | | |

So after all that stuff about England being out of control in the last few days, he is planning to lift all restrictions in two weeks. I give up. | |
