www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-54241580Perhaps the Joint Biosecurity Centre is alseep again and not working preemptively. the UK is getting very close to level 5. Since the alert level changed to 4 in September, the gov was too slow to act and all these social distancing measures have not achieved any ideal results. 😞 They’ve finally woken up. 15:54 Covid threat level 'to be upgraded to highest level' The Covid threat level is to be increased to five, the highest level, sources tell the BBC.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-55527195With Mrs sturgeon already announcing I guess we'll find out after Boris makes his briefing if we are in full lockdown - I think I saw it was to be at 8:00pm probably on all channels ... Sadly threat levels and tier levels are different - I guess they are designed to confuse even more nothing like having confusion its easier to blindly govern!

coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/about-dataNew year 2021 schedule
During the new year period, the COVID-19 Dashboard will be updated every day, but the amount of data being updated will vary. The following information is provided to assist forward planning only and is subject to change. It's not very clear to see a clear picture, not even an eye test in a magnificent castle would help There's an old saying in the forces "BS baffles brains". There will be plenty of BS on that website.

There are meteorological forecasts of a beast from the east cold wave could hit Britain. If that compounds Coronavirus hospitalisation deaths through winter flu or through coronavirus in a similar manner as winter flu then that could be a horrendous negative that Professor Pantsdown and other Spreadsheet Jockeys haven’t correctly factored into their models. 2018 had circa 12,000 excess deaths due to that year’s Beast from the East; though you might not have known it at the time as winter excess deaths wasn’t everyday conversation. No probs, just turned the heating on full - oops forgot we donated our winter fuel payment to the local foodbank et al ... Seemed like a good idea at the time! Since Boris hadn't read the earlier sage report/s that Mr Marr waved in front of him yesterday and didn't seem to bat an eyelid i'd be surprised if he reads any of them anyway. Perhaps he'll bring it up in tonight's briefing.

Is this trend reflected in hospital admissions?
The last time I looked old fogies like me are roughly 50 times more likely to be admitted to hospital due to COVID-19 than people below 50.

It's only one data point, but I got a text message of my radiologist friend a couple of hours ago. It reads "Just done 4 chest x-rays. 3 florid COVID-19, age range 23-35".

A draw would do equally well. Unfortunately, I think they're known as "Scummers" (no doubt due to Portsmouth friends). If they beat the aforementioned R.S. they'll be heroes to a man (and woman) in my book.
