Leicester faces local lockdown

[Crewella]

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.

Just not in the top 10?

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

That's the problem. Apart from every official I speak to. From Council, Education and Medical. it's not mentioned anywhere in the press or gov figures. I'm not a Leicester lad, but I think the closet area , to Glenfield, is Wycliffe. But that's a couple of miles away. So why is the gov so shy of listing the area.

Good point. But those line up with the area listed, to me, in conversation today. Just Glenfield missing. The news today also misses out Covid, on a ward, in the LRI. That Ward is not connected with covid treatment, so it is considered an outbreak.

We are only being told, officially, what Johnson wants us to hear. He kept the covid outbreak a secret from Leicester health authorities and the council for more than two weeks. The health secs news conference, two weeks ago, was the first Leicester Health had heard of any problems. The final information needed to form a response. only arrived, with Leicester authorities, after 1pm this Monday. Leicester officials only found out about a potential lockdown. From P Patel on Marr this Sunday. The Mayor or Leicester published that time line, incase case you are wondering.
That's a big list of stuff had hidden, and it only covers three weeks or so. Now multiply it up, for the rest of the country. Then think how much he's hiding from every single one of us.

If only 72% of people in Leicester speak English then the other 28% might not have any idea what the government advice on coronavirus is.

Still no figures for Glenfield. One fact is not disputed. The only areas outside Leicester City, that are in lockdown, are areas with a covid outbreaks. Glenfield in not part of Leicester city. It's Blaby District and proud of it.

Yes Glenfield is mentioned. But it's not listed, like all the other areas are, in terms of an infected figure.

I've spoken to several officials, today. Who either have no idea why, or are evasive, when asked.

and the suggestion it's " connected conurbation " is laughable. No other area, with no outbreak, Is listed. Christ the separating line is often half way down a street, but those outside of the city boundary, are not included in lockdown.

Now it may be the distinction between a high infection rate and an outbreak. However it's more than a little odd. Especially considering it's demographics.

Don't they record deaths from hospitals though and not specifically where people live?
It would stand to reason if you're from Glenfield and get admitted to hospital you would go to your nearest one and if you died there your death would be recorded as died there.

Sorry, think you misunderstand. It's not deaths, I'm looking for, it's numbers infected. It's listed for all areas except Glenfield.
