callum semple is a professor of outbreak medicine at the university of liverpool and a member of the of the task and the problem they face right now? more than 90% of our intensive care capacity is occupied by covid cases which leaves very little room for car crash people, and other people that need intensive care beds for recovery. 320 cases in hospital wards whereas we had 390 at the peak of the first wave. we're not even into winter yet and we're highly, highly stressed, the system is stressed by so many cases. there is also a high level of stuff absent through burnout but also sickness. it is because for concern and these cases are from infections that occurred ten days ago. the current infection and we know it is exponential growth, so we are predicting quite a dark situation in a week or so and that is why we have been making these very public announcements. given the picture you paint, you call it a dire situation, how soon do we need to see — i know now would be the obvious answer — how soon the rates be seen to come down to know tier three restrictions is making a difference

maguire, who isa i am joined by ciaran maguire, who is a financial football lecturer at the university of liverpool no. i think if you benchmark manchester united against first of all other major teams in europe, and we have seen the likes ofjuventus and dortmund posed big losses already for 2020, there is no great surprise, but the impact of not participating in the champions league did hit manchester united severely, and also they have spent an awful lot of money on players over the course of the last couple of years as well. but how much do you think the team has to worry about the pandemic, because this could go on for a while, restrictions could be in place preventing crowds from gathering. well, if you take a look at manchester united as a business, they are generating around about £4 million a match traditionally, when hosting fixtures at old trafford, so if that goes for a full season, i think we are looking at a decrease in revenue of £100 million from there. there will be refunds due to broadcasters. we have seen the loss of the chinese tv deal impact upon the premier league, and a lot wi

liverpool. let's speak now to calum semple, professor of outbreak medicine at the university of liverpool. ng of the most effective way of stopping this virus. that is the sort of headline. and where are the outbreaks happening? most are happening between, within, and between households. and after that it is in the very tail and hospitality sector —— retailand the very tail and hospitality sector —— retail and hospitality. so the main focus is to concentrate on major cities. and my home city of liverpool has been impacted. but these restrictions are necessary. so, retail and hospitality. these restrictions are necessary. so, retailand hospitality. but these restrictions are necessary. so, retail and hospitality. but it seems, tier three, when it gets affected later today, will affect hospitality rather than retail? is there a science behind that? i'm not party to what the restrictions will be. alcohol and people's behaviour are well—known to be factors that result in relaxation of one's adherence to regulations, and that is to put it politely. i can understand why this movie is happening. i

north—west, north—east and yorkshire, the numbers of patients being treated with covid is rising rapidly in many other hospitals. as you can see, liverpool universityincrease in its seven day rolling average of covid—19 patients in its beds, but you will also see the same is happening in other hospitals in the region. liverpool university hospital has at the highest number of covid—19 patients with currently more than 250 patients with covid in its bed. in the last four weeks hospitals in the north—west and north—east have witnessed a sevenfold increase in covid patients in their intensive care units. if infections continue to rise, in just four more weeks, they could be treating more patients than they we re treating more patients than they were during the peak of the first wave. we will shortly hear more about the situation in the north—west from my colleague doctor jane eddleston who works at manchester royal infirmary. we are not just concerned manchester royal infirmary. we are notjust concerned about hospital admissions. sadly, we know that this virus is more dangerous to the old, asi virus is more dangerous to the old, as i have shown, but w

of simply failing on their policy and decision making. that sentiment is shared by many here. it is important to know that liverpool is a university city. there are a lot of young people here and shutting down night life was met with a great deal of resistance last night. take a look at scenes that played out as pubs closed. last call in liverpool. pubs must shut their doors for at least a month. >> why isn't london shut down? >> reporter: tougher restrictions were ordered after a surge in covid-19 cases but there is no socially distant farewell here. the proud port city, birth place of the beetles, home to a championship football team is the first to be classified as very high risk under england's new three-tear covid alert system. the decision was driven by the data. the city has the highest number of coronavirus patients in the entire country. local city councilman paul brandt agrees the rapid rise is a problem but his consensus with london ends there. >> a rather toxic mix of arrogance and ignorance at central government level has led us to the sorry state that we're in now. i think the evidence is clear now that a short, sharp inter

a lot of people have talked about students returning to university in manchester and liverpool and sove of the virus, the virus arrived in the north—west quite a late after other parts of the country. it was still circulating when the national lockdown came off. from those embers, i think we have seen sustained community transmission from the late summer into the early autumn. in the north—west, we have densely packed populations, quite high housing density, housing with multiple people in occupations that expose them to the virus, people working in retail, transport or the ca re working in retail, transport or the care sector. these factors combine to give us the rates we are seeing in the north—west at the moment. to give us the rates we are seeing in the north-west at the moment. now we have tea rfully in the north-west at the moment. now we have tearfully restrictions, we know about the controversy around them, but do you think those two are three restrictions in a liverpool, and now greater manchester, how much are they going to help slow the spread of the virus? they have been d

university or a particular part of the community. you might want to design measures which are going to be more effective in liverpool which might not beikely decline further unless it is expanded to keep up with rising cases. what is your response? we will keep on trying to improve the track and trace system to try to increase its scale and reach. it has improved enormously. remember, we we re improved enormously. remember, we were testing 2000 people a day. we now have capacity over 300000 and wa nt now have capacity over 300000 and want that to be 500,000 within a matter of weeks. 100,000 people have been traced as a result of this so this 700,000 people who have either been protected themselves or protected others. last week the number of contact tracing was the lowest since it started. we could a lwa ys lowest since it started. we could always do better with this. i don‘t pretend otherwise. what we‘re doing with local communities now is coupling the national track and trace service with the local as well because there is evidence and i think we can all understand this, local councils are very effective at tracing individuals in th
