Brilliant news the UK has also fallen. England for the 1st day. Wales for the 3rd day.  Northern Ireland now the pariah in Europe still soaring. Of course they are about 20 years behind the rest of the UK in all sort of things.

Hopefully we're now seeing a peak in the ICU stats. Cases were at over 4k per day and a few weeks later just 65 in ICU, vaccines work! Roll on the 9th...

I'd really like to see the 8 week gap shortened if there is lower uptake amongst younger groups. Keep getting as many jabs in arms as possible. 

I'd also start on all over 16s too.

Lockdown weight gain averaging half a stone - survey

More than 40% of adults in England have gained weight during the pandemic, a survey suggests, with the average gain being half a stone (just over 3kg).

Public Health England (PHE), which surveyed 5,000 people, says Covid lockdowns and disrupted daily routines have made it challenging for people to eat healthy and keep fit.

Snacking and comfort eating were given as the main contributor by about half of those who said they were fatter.

PHE recommends a summer fitness drive.

Working from home should, in many instances, make it easier for people to get out for a morning/lunchtime/after work walk/jog/run though.

Unfortunately, the narrative of holding governments to account for every COVID death flies in the face of the most basic idea of taking a wee bit of responsibility for your own health if you can.

I don't think anyone is mentioning dying from eating more takeaways than pre pandemic and failing to run it off the next day?

The article is only about a survey in which many who were surveyed admitted that they had put on weight, that's it.

There's been no recorded deaths from eating a 11'' Pizzaland spicy chicken and watching 'Vikings' on Netflix.

Granted, but not making the effort to shift extra timber when the opportunity presents itself (and actually consciously putting on the weight) isn’t going to be conducive to positive outcomes, COVID or otherwise.

The Venn diagram of the group I describe, and the group who’ll scream blue murder at governments for not doing enough to protect people from negative health outcomes from the virus would be interesting.

So not just a simple run your arse/belly/moobs  around the block for a few weeks can fix this, we have to get all stats about it???
Its venn diagrams we needs. If this thread has taught me anything, its that we always need more venn diagrams.
