Never let it be said the Germans don't have a sense of humour.

Looking very like Glasgow and surrounding areas will be going into Tier 4.

Three mink farms in Ireland are going to cull the animals as they can spread the virus. In this day and age we don't require coats made from animal fur, especially if farming the animals causes problems for humans!

I thought I saw something in the corner of my eye the other day about mink and Coronavirus, so that was it. I agree with you.

That was probably about the mink farms in Denmark. They've decided to cull all the mink being farmed there (about 15 million). Bad news for the mink and everybody who earned a living by farming them.

Bad news for the agricultural minister too as they have resigned, and possibly the Prime Minister

We get out of Tier 4 on 12th Dec. We are likely if we do move out of it to move into Tier 3, and I don't see that being changed before Christmas. That will mean that any pub not selling meals will remain shut. All other pubs and restaurants will only be open till 6pm and not selling alcohol, Given many pubs and restaurants will normally do around a third of their trade in the period between now and Christmas, this is going to brutal for the hospitality industry.

And to make things even worse, places of worship can remain open, albeit with restrictions, meaning the congregation will have to bring sleeping pills on Sunday, since the minister's on leave and he's told me to torture them.

Some positive news in the latest ONS survey

Corona virus survey

The rate of infections in England in the week up to 14th November has "levelled off".

Had a couple of close calls this week. First my girlfriend had to go for a test after developing symptoms, so I had to isolate with her until she got her results (which were negative), and now just got a message that someone I just played pool with yesterday had a close friend who tested positive, so I possibly have been exposed.

The area I live in, the capital area, has taken on new restrictions after declaring the virus is now at a spreading stage. Hopefully they will now bite and infections will slowdown again.
