Welsh lockdown
Discussion
Seen this today, surprise surprise deprived areas having higher covid rates.

1/3 of tests were positive apparently, this wouldn't have anything to do with the change in messaging saying you should only be tested if you have symptoms, not if you are just a contact etc etc etc...
Naturally it will fall off, and the lockdown will have "worked"

It's dwi'n in West Wales too. Never heard Rwy'n spoken before, or if I have I've missed it.
DuoLingo would have that as Dw i'n , with a spaceMore stuff in the news today about it, apparently (surprise surprise) most transmission has been indoors.
I've still not had a satisfactory reply from anyone in government explaining why the closure of basically everything is not enough, and why they deemed it absolutely necessary to make it illegal to leave your house, and be outside, alone.
My cynical guess of course is that it's just to make enforcement easier...

I was away on business for a night this week, dash across the boarder with a few colleagues which meant we had dinner together. 4 people, different households, sat at the same restaurant table!
When I cross-checked the cases of Covid in the area, it is significantly lower than most of South Wales, but it's also higher than the areas in Mid and West Wales.
Still makes me think that a Wales-wide lock down was excessive, and that proper enforcement of the existing local lockdown rules would have been a better path.

No return to local controls after end of current ‘circuit break’ lockdown. It’s just going to the same for all.
And criminalising providing false information for track and trace.

I've seen you say this a couple of times now. But you can leave your home, for exercise:https://gov.wales/coronavirus-firebreak-frequently...

What's the odds on England (and Scotland possibly) going into lockdown on the 9th November (out last day) and Drakeford rolls with it and says its national so have to follow.
Yep I believe this more than what drakeford says. I hope im wrong but im not sure, there will be a lot of angry people if drakeford double's down on this when he and welsh labour were adamant it would only be for the 17 days. Time will tell.moorx said:

In terms of being fined it's far less risky to go to a friend's house for a little party than to go for a drive to an empty beach or whatever, though.
It seems like cars are the target on all the police stuff online too.
