My word. Even when I am indirectly slightly agreeing with you, you're so incredibly thick (or pig headed or both) that you don't notice.
Edit: mean Paddy, not OG.
Sorry not used to you agreeing with me!

Originally posted by Paddy View PostCoronavirus: Why has Leicester had a spike of coronavirus? - BBC News
The east of the city appears to be the epicentre of this local outbreak. The area includes streets with tightly packed terraced housing, and has a high proportion of ethnic minority families where multi-generational living is more common.
Indeed, Leicester as a whole is one of the most culturally diverse areas in the country, with about half of its residents from ethnic minority groups.
Oh, hang on, what's this:
Originally posted by NickFitz View PostI gather many or even most of the new cases are in areas such as Belgrave and Spinney Hill that have a high BAME population and a lot of Victorian terraced housing, so it's probably due to a combination of the higher susceptibility that has been observed among BAME people and comparatively cramped living conditions. Remember, the population of Leicester has the highest proportion of BAME people of anywhere in the country, at around 50%.

Originally posted by Paddy View PostMisleading statistics. Most cars were parked near home but even a short trip to the shops rather than a sixty mile journey to work would be counted. The first four weeks of lock down the road were very quite and the car parks empty. Birmingham may have been different however, Birmingham happens to be another hot-spot for the virus.

Trigger warning, Daily Mail link but finally reports have asked the local leaders what their thoughts on the reason for the spike is.
Councillor blames a perfect storm of 'cultural, health and economic factors' for Leicester outbreak | Daily Mail Online
So why do leaders think they are going to listen this time around?Last edited by BlueSharp; 30 June 2020, 17:22.
