Confirmed: Caerphilly, Risca,Blackwood etc Lockdown

One day there will be an official enquiry into how each of the devolved and Westminster Governments have handled the COVID-19 crisis.

Frankly all four were useless handling the acute part of the crisis (March - June) with regard to PPE, Care Homes, Testing, Death Rate etc.

Each Government will be slaughtered individually and collectively for their decisions even after it is mitigated by the fact it was an unprecedented crisis.

What we are seeing now is decision's which aren't actually the correct decisions for the population at large, but are the correct decisions for those who are in power who will claim they managed the crisis correctly post June with a cautious approach designed to save lives until a vaccine becomes available. We don't hear much about the death rate ATM but come the enquiry it will be a central plank to the claims by those Governments that they 'got a grip' of the pandemic with an extremely low death rate compared to March/June.

From now on the only sensible decisions which are made will be those which are advantageous to those who are in power in each of the 4 Governments.

Talking sense as always, Tony

Covid Post of the Month in my eyes!

There can only be two causes. Foreign holidays or pubs. Generally they involve booze and late night booze at that.

Close all pubs at 22:00, how can a coyote ugly be responsible for the masses trying to get into their premises. Its not going to work.

As usual WAG are not up to it. Some of the daftest things i have heard come from Cardiff bay, but lock down with the pubs open is beyond any sense.

If they "believe in the science" be true to it and not half measures. Whether you think the interpretation of the data is correct is a totally different scenario.

Caerphilly, Risca,Blackwood in "Lockdown" doesn't half make the headlines in the national news but upon closer inspection its totally pointless, like the Wales Government.

here we go again restrict restrict restrict...... only 2 causes , nope its a virus that could be anywhere not just in pubs.. and it not a nocturnal virus that only infects after 10 pm either..

There is no way on God's earth you are going to stop rise in covid as long as you allow people to socialise in enclosed areas like pubs! 9 out 10 deaths are over 65 with 50% over 75 so solution is put that age group in self isolation at home? Then the deaths wont be high as that's what politicians are only worried about.... Its Easier to finance that than have 100s of thousands unemployed long term when businesses close down with restrictions in place! What is strange is that they know how and where the rise occurs but dont close establishments that is likely cause they just stop people leaving an area .....

How can you put Caerphilly in lock down but the pubs / restaurants are allowed to stay open what a joke!

From 6pm tomorrow as a resident of Caerphilly I can't meet my family in my home, but wait a minute, I can go down the pub to see them.

As Drakeford likes to say "This is how we do it in Wales".

This needs to happen but how on earth can our Government let pubs / restaurants stay open.

No you cant!! You can only meet with people from your your own household in a pub in caerphilly after 6pm tonight. So the Welsh Government strategy makes sense. However, if the rules are not followed then pubs will be closed.

You are correct..... the police say they will be out in force along with council staff to make sure you keep your distance and ready to hand out fines for breaking covid rules in nessasary

But friends can meet up in a pub but extended families living same area will have to go to separate pubs ? That makes sense

I wonder if the initial start of this outbreak happened in Zante when we had many cases in Wales a few weeks ago?

It certainly didn't help to have thirty-odd cases flying into Cardiff that we know of, there were probably more that were not showing symptoms.

Just saw the Welsh news they seem to think it has spread in that area due to people having too many house parties and gatherings, not through going to the pub?

You have to be distanced from them, not on the same table drinking with them.

yes
but my comments are on rules for going to pubs

It's all a load of bollocks.

I live in the borough and its been no different here to ANYWHERE else in the UK.

We just had a couple of cases and every man and his f*cking dog decided to go and get tested hence the rise and why it will rise again, cos of the testing not because its suddenly here, its always been here and everywhere.

Sorry if my tone seems a little off, its just done my head right in.

Well, that's one theory. Or it could be that this deadly
virus is coming back due to people not sticking to the rules. You never know

How can they say its rife in Caerphilly but say not in the Rhondda or Torfaen or anywhere.

If there were equal amounts of people being tested in every council area and Caerphily was on top then I would say fair enough but that's not he case.

A lot of these people testing positive have no symptoms.

The whole thing is a farce. Caerphily has most Covid Cases, not shit when we are also having the most tests.

If the WAG say a particular Borough has an increase of course everyone will go get a test as a result.

Conspiracy you bet.

Scaremongering you bet

Do you genuinly believe that people that live in the County Borough of Caerphily are in anyway different or have treated the virus in any other way to anyone else in Wales cos I'm 100% positive they havnt.

I was away in England at the weekend and social distancing was non existent, the place I visited isn't even on the radar for transmissions. This has all come about because of mass testing in the area, and that is an absolute fact mate, it's out there to be seen unless you have your eyes closed.

agree..id be very very surprised if Caerphilly was any worse than many scenes ive witnessed both live and been shown videos of... one of my sons and his mates went to SA1/ Wind St 3 weeks ago, they gave up on the Wind street bit because it was the busiest any of them had ever seen it including black Friday.. the video he showed me from SA1 had people lying around hammered, people spewing, cuddling , fighting, staggering around infront of taxis, cop cars and ambulances. and loads drinking from cans bought from supermarkets because the pubs were so full. and it was literally hundreds if not thousands. personally ive seen pubs with dancing and people nude on pool tables. and a queue for a club which was 50 yards long and everyone in the queue almost touching. im sure its similar most towns/cities where the kids have been couped up..
id be peed off too if whats happened to you was happening to me.. its not sense its WAG picking and choosing to make points..

What a lot of people are missing is the fact that people in the Caerphilly area have abused the social distancing rules. I know of many circumstances where people have just been totally ignoring all the basics.
Its very simple keep your social distance and good hand hygiene and the rest takes care of itself. I think Caerphilly has brought this on itself and the rest of the country needs to sit up and pay attention SIMPLE

Lol what a load of bollocks

Testing in Caerphilly is up due to a mobile testing station, more tests are going to show more infections it’s quite simple maths

I’d argue that other areas of wales have higher rates but because testing numbers are down no one bats and eyelid

It's all a load of bollocks.

Coming back maybe.... deadly ? figures say not... more testing more positive results definitely...

Exactly mate, Gyms, which were one of the last things to open cos they were supposed to be dangerous are staying open. Work that one out. Genuinly feels like WAG decided to stick a pin in a map and pick out an authority to shame as a scare tactic to the rest of Wales, if they were that concerned it would be a proper lockdown.

im reading on here how naughty caerphilly people have been... i can only assume theyve not looked elsewhere .. as for WAg they are fully aware of how people have been especially on Saturday nights everywhere ...this really is as you say pin in a map...probably because we havent had a local lock down while other countries have... tick that box..

cases were at their highest when pubs were closed ? and this outbreak, { if you go along with it } was not pub based... just like the majority of clusters

gethin saying it's not pubs where its transmitted and spreading it's in the home! So if that's the case why hasn't it been higher
in all areas.. hes just reiterated this fact on radio....So stopping people moving out town is going to do fck all to the spread of virus..... oh and no holidays abroad as thats where it all started in caerphilly apparently.....

yes mate they said this right at the start about it spreading more in homes...
then they locked down .. 40k deaths later its back to square one

how to ensure you remain in lockdown... fckn mental

fears that they will run out of testing kits...

Caerphilly residents are going on mass for testing! symptoms or not it's just panic stations which suits WG as people more likely obey their commands...
