Leicester faces local lockdown

[fil]

Thing is there is a 'pecking order' of sorts Council tenants have it much easier than housing association tenants who in turn have it a lot easier than private tenants.

Took me into my 40's to escape private renting in shared accommodation and buy a place.. And that was when it was a lot easier than it is today.

And its gonna get worse for tenants as Housing associations are moving towards market level rents and assured short hold tenancy agreements, and council stocks diminish further.

All set in motion by RTB shifting the wealth represented by the social housing stock away from the left wing controlled local authorities that the then tory westminster didnt like.. generating a few millionaire housing association directors (pals of maggie) with the funds that westminster didnt lift from the sale of the council houses.

well thats how i remember it..

A rapid investigation into the Covid-19 outbreak in Leicester by Public Health England has revealed it has been driven by increased infections in the under-19s and people of working age, while the average age of those infected is around 40.
It showed how outbreaks took hold in the North Evington and Belgrave areas of the city, with the two wards accounting for over a quarter of the infections between 11 June and 25 June. Cases were linked to food factories, food outlets, shops and supermarkets.
There were also infections at one of the sites of University Hospitals of Leicester NHS trust. On one ward, five patients who were screened as coronavirus-negative on admission were subsequently detected as coronavirus-positive but were likely to be incubating the virus when they were admitted. All other patients and staff were screened and a dozen staff were found to be infected but were asymptomatic.

Strange there's no report of the infracted demographic of the, virtually, wholly white middle class area of Glenfield, don't you think. All the reports aimed at blaming the Asian community. How odd.

Hmm, I don't know what to think about it all, however, the report conclusions are:

1. The strongest evidence of an outbreak is given by the numbers of new infections identified in children and working age people, and rising proportion of positive tests also seen in these age groups, from late May onwards. These are trends not observed in other parts of the Midlands, or related travel areas.
2. Evidence for the scale of the outbreak is limited and may, in part, be artefactually related to growth in availability of testing.

3. If an outbreak is occurring, then care should be taken to ensure that the artificial geographical reporting boundaries do not obscure a problem that may cross the East Midlands and East of England border.

I didn't even know what artefactually meant:

artefactual. adjective. (1) Referring to something produced by human hands. (2) Referring to an inaccurate finding, deviation or alteration of electronic readout or morphology due to some form of systemic error.

This says this was happening before the end of may. And they are probably only seeing the results, now. Because of the utter lack of any care shows by our gov. Tby their refusal to offer proper testing is. And it's showing up now, because Johnson see more value in £ than in people's lives, and refuse to test.

still want to know why a badly infected, majority white area, is not included in any of this.

Do you have a link to the data for Glenfield please.

No mention of Glenfield, that I can see. I’m not seeing any blaming either.

My point exactly. My daughters school was closed because of the outbreak in Glenfield. It is confirmed that there is a serious outbreak there. As I say, odd that the area is never mentioned, yet the others are. Almost like the don't want people to know.

Or alternatively, there isn’t a serious outbreak in that part of Leicester. I’d be interested to see your data on Glenfield, another member of the forum has already asked
