I would say wait until it's not increasing at the very least?

There is no magic number - I think if the number wasn't going up, this would've gone ahead, and understandably so. It's merely a precaution, which I don't blame any governing authority for deciding upon.

Just my feeling.
Correct, it’s not about the infection rate, it’s about the rate it is rising.
 
I don't think I would use Woodstock as an example of something run either smoothly or very well or with any hint of health and safety.

Plus Quill, they had vaccine after 4 months of the initial Chinese/Hong Kong outbreak! (pre Woodstock). I seem to remember one or two members of my family getting the slightly nastier return of this flu around 1970ish

I got it 1968/1969. Really badly, don't think I could cope with it now. After going through that always gave a hollow when we were told on a Monday someone wouldn't be in at work but would be back on Thursday as they had flu.

The Director of Public Health for Hull's just been on RH, she sounds rather dim.

It's all well and good saying the infection rate has gone from 4.2 per 100,000, to 15.3 per 100,000. But in a place the size of Hull, it means it's gone from barely anyone being infected, to 30 odd people being inflected, it's hardly a zombie apocalypse.
Doesn't take many quadruplings to give cause for concern.

Shrewsbury are hosting a pilot game this weekend, there Covid rate is 14 in 100,000 compared to Hull's rate of 15 in 100,000. National average is 16 in 100,000.

Current Covid 19 rates for comparison purposes - Sunderland has 103 per 100,000, South Tyneside 93.4 per 100,000 and Gateshead 83.6 per 100,000.

But it’s only increasing because we are testing more.... the number of cases is still the same, we are just finding more. Same risk
 
but isn’t that proportionate to the number of tests in the area? That’s what they are not telling us - the number of positives, but not the number of tests in a particular area.
It’s a farce

What is?

To repeat. The number of cases (positive) per 100 tests has risen. It doesn't matter how many tests were done; the infection rate is rising.
 
Loads more people have the virus but less are dying of it ????

i think the most vulnerable have already died (RIP) leaving behind only us superhuman types

infection rates will be up but deaths will never reach the heights they did at its peak

the first few months of lockdown in the uk testing was hit an miss with test kits unreliable and a lot of tests not carried out correctly re inadequate nasal swab insertion

a lot of people attributed to covid deaths were actually killed during testing

the coronavirus has been around for years and will continue to do so
we as humans must evolve and by selective breeding try and become a super race

lets start by say two or three women to each male?

Hard to say at this point. Deaths tended to be a number of weeks later. Also you would need to understand the age breakdown of those tested given the different level of morbidity based on age.
