Coronavirus - will we survive?

Sluffy wrote:I doubt anybody other than me is interested but something is clearly happening in terms of new cases in Windsor an Maidenhead.

Now we are talking about where the Queen lives, Eton School, the Thames rolling through Royal Berkshire countryside, Royal Ascot where the Derby is run (I went watching it once but it wasn't my thing) and even home to people like Gary Linaker!

It's jumped up to 25th place (out of 315) on a seven day rolling average ahead of such places as Preston 26th, Bolton 35th, Slough 62nd.

The new cases are being reported daily over the last week as 4,4,3,5,4,3 and 10 today - so not as though it is a spike from a factory unit or something and it isn't an area where there is a large Asian community spreading it in family units.

I'm wondering if perhaps an issue with the army barracks in Windsor perhaps, I can see that being kept out of the papers if there is - but something is defiantly happening - as recently as last month they were hardly getting any positives at all and were down in 273rd place!

Keep safe anybody visiting the area.

I used to stay in Maidenhead 4 nights a week for a couple of years when i was commuting to work in Ascot and it was a meat market every night as was Windsor. 
Maidenhead had clubs, pubs, eateries, the Honeypot strip club and a Spoons which was pretty busy at 8 am selling liquid breakfasts. 
Not at all surprised TBH.

I live in the area and have done for over twenty years and it's absolutely nothing like how you describe it!

Both Windsor and Maidenhead are just normal small suburban commuter towns with basically one main high street in each where the pubs and clubs are - no different than anywhere else really - and London is the big draw for those wanting a good night out, just down the road or by train.

I'm pleased you are not surprised but I guess what probably would surprise you then is that for the whole of June, Windsor and Maidenhead combined had a total of just 20 positive results, in July, 21 positives and 15 for the first two weeks in August.

In the last ten days though they've had 38.

Fwiw Windsor and Maidenhead have been consistently ranked in the bottom half of ALL English authorities for new cases from the 1st June until this last week!!!

But as always you think you know better.

I'm sure you are correct about it being ego from one side but from my side it's simply stating the actual facts!

Have a think about it chaps. Instead of mercilessly having a go at each other try biting your tongue occasionally. Take the higher ground every now and then.

Not everyone is agreed on Maidenhead.

I should add that I've been to Maidenhead, and found it charming.

No the disagreement was another intended dig at me and an attempted put down of where I live.

It was done deliberately and on purpose with the clear intent of getting a response.

It's blatantly clear what he's doing.
