Can't see the tiered system being in place for 12 weeks.

When is it reviewed? I guess the positive’s are Leicestershire as a whole isn’t the worse of the areas? So potentially by the next review we’re back into tier four?

Rutland only part of east midlands not in tier 4. Oakham hairdressers to get busy now

With Leicestershire in Tier 4 from midnight, going shopping in Oakham tomorrow won't be allowed, at least not in theory.

Not sure. I think they're trying to resist a national lockdown as much as possible, hence the Tier 4 restrictions being staggered around the country.

 

Maybe pinning hopes on vaccine being a resounding success. Especially given that people should be receiving their 2nd dose of Pfizer, and with the Oxford one being rolled out next week...

Will be a while until enough people are vaccinated IMO.

 

12 weeks is my guess, anything better is a bonus!

Most depressing thing about being in tier 4 is the fact that living in tier 2 type restrictions seems ages away

The tier system obviously does not work, how can this new variant spread if a tier 4 restriction was placed in the areas where the new variant was present? Either there was too much of a delay in attempting to stop it spreading, or people weren't abiding by the rules. There should be one tier for the whole country, it's the only way to control the spread.

I’m guessing that’s the final nail in the coffin for Gran Canaria in mid February then?

Excellent.

Is it just me who found this amusing

Happy New Tier!

[Guest Electric Yetis]

Just shut the schools for a few more weeks.

Welcome to Tier 4 for those joining us. It's so fun  

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Last chance saloon this, combined with the vaccinations it has to work otherwise I think the government will have to change the way they are dealing with the virus, it just cannot carry on like this indefinitely.

Im at a real low ebb now, thank goodness for bubbles otherwise I’d go insane.

[RowlattsFox]

Probably scared of being bombarded by Robbie Savage but not sure how it's fair under 18 football and other sports can continue but adults can't.

The schools re-opening will fook this up even more surely?

When will tier 4 be reviewed next? 

[TiffToff88]

My situation is very complicated and I have no idea how the rules affect me. Any help would be appreciated:

 

I live in Syston with my wife (no kids). We're in the process of moving to Barnsley (hopefully in the next couple of weeks). I work in Doncaster and have no way of working from home currently, but I will do when I move to Barnsley. My in-laws live near to Barnsley and since I started my job in the summer I've been staying with them during the week as they're in our bubble (I think - who even knows what a bubble is any more?!). My wife can't stay at our house on her own because she struggles with mental health issues which are made worse by the fact that we have the neighbours from hell. Because of this, she's been coming up with me to stay with her parents during the week. We just come back home at weekends to do a bit of packing ahead of the move.

 

How much of this will we still be able to do? If I can't work from home (Syston) and can't go into the office (Doncaster) I'll lose my job.

I assume, like with the previous tiers, in a couple of weeks?

I'm with you. Surely it'd be far simpler for starters. Whether you're Tier 3 or 4, there's not a lot to enjoy.

You'll be sound, it's pretty essential so just crack on.

[RowlattsFox]

Once you close schools, it's difficult to reopen them but i think delaying them going back for a short period is right thing to do. Whether it will make a difference i don't know, but if there is evidence of spreading in schools it makes sense to shut them now rather than February and March.

Yep, and with two kids already worrying about going back to school I could do without the stress of getting them in!

 

Plus it's both of their birthdays next week!

It’s been a colossal **** up since February, nothing will change really until this vaccine takes hold.
