Confused about the line Andy Burnham & co are taking. They are saying that tier 2 restrictions haven& #39;t worked to bring down cases, but they won& #39;t go to tier 3 due to financial package and no certainty that will work, so they& #39;ll just... Keep doing something that isn& #39;t working?

Like, this just seems like it& #39;s also going to end poorly for Manchester. Liverpool apparently has 90% hospital occupancy due to the surge in cases there; Manchester is second only to them and cases are still rising. If they do nothing else, local NHS will overwhelm there too.

Just continuing in this thread to laugh like a drain at the government& #39;s new, simpler tier system which is meant to prevent there being different restrictions everywhere.

As now Lancashire is joining Liverpool in tier 3.

Only their gyms and leisure centres don& #39;t need to shut.
