With the festive period just around the corner, Sheffield\u2019s fluctuating Covid cases are an unwelcome concern. This has left many people worried at the prospect of another Christmas lockdown and the effects it could have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Mark Richardson, the owner of Sheffield city centre\u2019s LP Record Store, another Christmas lockdown would prove a \u201cdisaster\u201d for his small business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSince the pandemic and the lockdowns we had, I haven\u2019t recovered from it. The footfall is about 50% less.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year, the Government&#8217;s business support grants were the only thing keeping him afloat and now, he fears the Government will not be able to offer the same level of support in light of a new lockdown.<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf that was the case, It might mean the end, after a long time, after a lot of years, so let\u2019s just hope it doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Mark, working from home is not an option with over 20,000 records in his possession.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He must work in-store and sell his records online, which proved difficult for him during the last Christmas lockdown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI sell online but where I make the most money is from passing trade and the public. I was putting stuff out, but very very slowly, I just lacked motivation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there hasn\u2019t been any clear mention of a Christmas lockdown just yet, there has been some discussion around Plan B, which would see the reintroduction of social distancing and compulsory face masks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even so, the Government has stated that at the moment, this<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/uk\/politics\/sajid-javid-covid-europe-cases-b1961580.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> isn\u2019t on the cards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Instead, they are focusing their energy on the vaccine booster programme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, this morning, it was reported that cases in the UK have jumped by<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/uk\/1526707\/Covid-cases-map-UK-areas-highest-rise-list-EVG\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 74%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, another worrying pre-Christmas rise that none of us want to see.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What are cases like now in comparison to last year in Sheffield?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/politics\/16717452\/boris-johnson-warns-covid-clouds-are-gathering\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> after a recent visit to a pharmacy in Old Sidcup and Bexley, Boris Johnson added to anxieties after he said: \u201cI\u2019m seeing storm clouds gathering over parts of the European continent. And I\u2019ve got to be absolutely frank with people &#8211; we\u2019ve been here before, and we remember what happens when a wave starts rolling in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christmas lockdown rules tightened suddenly on the 19th of December last year, the announcement of which came only days after Boris said that Christmas rules would remain relaxed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.data.gov.uk\/details\/interactive-map\/cases\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UK\u2019s interactive Coronavirus map<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, since last week, we have seen large case increases in specific areas like Sothall, where they are up 158.8% since last week. With 836.3 cases per 100,000 people, it far exceeds the UK\u2019s average of 443.8 cases per 100,000 people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other areas showing a sharp increase in cases include <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fulwood and Lodge Manor, with an increase since last week of 41.4% and 586.7 cases per 100,000 people respectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Across the city overall, the picture is not so bleak. Cases have decreased by -4.6% compared to last week, with 1,765 positive tests recorded by the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.data.gov.uk\/easy_read?postcode=S1%202AR#cases\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Government\u2019s Coronavirus Simple Summary <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for the 19 to the 25 of November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, only 1,111 positive tests were recorded from the 19 to the 25 of November last year, which is a startlingly low amount in comparison to this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But vaccines have meant that severe cases have become less of a concern, with countless <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brusselstimes.com\/news\/eu-affairs\/195200\/nearly-half-a-million-of-lives-saved-by-covid-19-vaccination-in-europe-new-study-shows\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lives being saved<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> thanks to the rollout. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deaths and hospitalisations in Sheffield have seen promising change since last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been 9 deaths reported by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.data.gov.uk\/easy_read?postcode=S1%202AR#cases\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Government\u2019s Simple Summary for Sheffield<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from 19 &#8211; 25 November this year, whereas last year, 28 deaths were recorded in this same time period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In turn, between the 15 and 21 of November this year, 77 people went into hospital with coronavirus, where 240 were admitted during the same time last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that both the number of deaths and hospitalisations have decreased by 68%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>&#8216;Recovery only just beginning&#8217;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Councillor Barbara Masters for Eccleshall, where cases are currently lower, at 291.6 per 100,000 people, said: \u201cI think it\u2019s too hard to make a call at the moment&#8221; on whether Christmas will go ahead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I think the Government will do everything they can to avoid a Christmas lockdown especially after last year and the disruption it caused to quite a lot of businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We\u2019re only just beginning to get some recovery, but the driver won\u2019t necessarily be the Government\u2019s views, it will be what\u2019s happening in the NHS and whether it will cope.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For City Councillor Martin Phipps, Plan B should have been more of a priority, he said: \u201cWe need to still be guided by the science and what infections are looking like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;For me, really, I wanted us to follow Plan B much earlier, because actually that\u2019s kind of the point of doing softer restrictions. Plan B wasn&#8217;t a lockdown, it was facemasks being compulsory again and following social distancing etcetera, and those are the kind of measures that mean that infection rates go downwards and we avoid the need for any kind of lockdown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Where we are now, I honestly don\u2019t know, obviously infection rates are still high and people are still dying which is concerning and they\u2019re starting to rise again and the Government tried to claim we didn&#8217;t need Plan B and it would all just go down anyway and basically that&#8217;s not worked out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr Phipps says he wants the Government to be guided by advice from experts in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sage and Independent Sage, &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">because not doing that has led us to where we are&#8221;.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But he adds: \u201cIt\u2019s not particularly exciting.
