There's an even higher figure - it estimates 13000cpm in Lisburn, just south west of Belfast! 1.3% does seem an unrealistically high figure, though, especially as this is estimating symptomatic Covid.

The main area that seems to have changed there is East Anglia - which is now mostly at the higher (0.1%+) level. The South West and South Coast still seems to be remaining relatively unaffected, according to their model.

Another place of the same scale would be Lympstone - though it may be debatable whether Lympstone Commando counts as serving the village.

We then head to the bus stop outside the station, and take the 0655 Faresaver service 33 to Devizes, The Pelican, arriving at 0742 on Tuesday morning.

We take the short walk through the Bearpit to the bus stop on Cabot Circus, where we board the 1430 Stagecoach South West service FALCON to Exeter, Honiton Road Park and Ride, arriving at 1658 on Monday afternoon.

We wait around for an hour, then board the 0215 National Express service 465 to London, Marble Arch (Stop S), arriving at 0610 on Monday morning.

People who were supposed to quarantine going on pub crawls would be an obvious example.

No, Nawaz was on a bit earlier, 1-4. David Lammy would have been on after that, and while I'd love to hear that he opposes a hypothetical lockdown (since he's quite a senior figure in Parliament), I doubt that he actually would.

Was that on Maajid Nawaz's show (to which I'm listening now, coincidentally)? I've found him to be very level headed and realistic throughout this, including in the first lockdown - he understands the huge impact these measures can have on disadvantaged communities and individuals, while also...

Or worse, makes it easy for the Piers Morgans of this world to say, "Look at the people against these measures, they're all a load of conspiracy theorists!", discrediting any opposition at all.

Exactly. Lockdown only makes sense if there's a clear end point. If (for example) we knew that the vaccine would be ready in two months, then you could probably justify a two month lockdown, and organisations could base their plans around when it would end (though even then it probably wouldn't...

Not really. While I'm dead set against another lockdown, any protest would just attract the likes of Piers Corbyn and other conspiracy theorists. It would therefore massively damage the case against restrictions.

It's part of ceremonial Buckinghamshire, though I've personally (based on the feel of the place, local connections, and even footballing rivalries) seen it as more Northamptonshire. It is bizzare that it gets classed as part of the "South East" region - meaning that it's not in the same region...

My main concern about the rise of working from home is related to your last paragraph - I think it will make life very difficult for those just starting out in a new job - it will be that much harder to be effectively inducted into a new environment. I think it will also make mentoring, both...

We continue northwards, boarding the 1234 Thameslink service (9P26) to Radlett, arriving at 1309 on Friday afternoon.

Interesting that public transport restrictions are guidance in the North East, but an actual measure/restriction here. I wonder why there's a difference?

I wish it would be that quick - but they'll not release the rules until the vaccine has been distributed and used on most of the population. Knowing this government's competence, that would probably be several months after the vaccine is released.

Cramlington seems to be the main culprit - Bedlington and Blyth were bad a week or two ago, but cases there are now very low. Ashington has a few cases as well, but not really very many. Morpeth, Berwick, Alnwick, and Hexham (all of which are reasonably substantial places) don't show up at all...

Not least because Bracknell, Ipswich, and London all have northern levels of infection despite being distinctly southern!

The £5.20 fee seems to be a flat rate though - BRFares shows the same fee applying to other journeys (for example: Plymouth - Penzance). But because St Erth - St Ives is a relatively cheap journey, the surfboard fee looks a lot in comparison.
