The wife is showing a few symptoms - could just be a cold - so I thought I'd see if I could get a test sent to me. Went on the Gov website, went through loads of questions got to the end, only to be told they can't send out kits in my area.

Here was I foolishly thinking we had loads of test capacity? anyway not driving to a test centre, she'll have to rough it out, pretty sure it's nothing sinister.

Does this mean you'll both/all be self isolating ?

There were reports of very poor tests being sold early on, but I would hope all of that has been sorted out. Now there are many different tests and it's hard to know which one people are talking about.

Can't back anything up - either way - when all the figures are messed up using differing criteria ;)

Let's be honest, do you believe all the facts & figures in the public domain regarding Covid 19?


oh, and while I'm here . . this little snippet has failed to find it's way here. Strange considering the previous arguments about it ;)

"Our findings explain why we are seeing outbreaks in places like Leicester, densely populated areas with multigenerational households. Many people are also struggling to pay bills so have to leave their homes to work.


The report also found ethnic minorities are less likely to know about government messaging like "Stay Home" and economic measures like the furlough scheme.

Most of it is up there with flat earth theory.

More good news from Sweden, not only are they some considerable distance from “herd immunity”

http://outbreaknewstoday.com/sweden-...-donors-98648/

Their economy is also tanking

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53664354

Shrinking 8.6% in Q2. Proving the old adage that people don’t want risk death during a global pandemic for the sake of a pizza, coffee or even a muffin.

In some genuinely good news though they are advising to work from home this Autumn for all the middle class people who get to enjoy the pandemic on Microsoft Teams.

https://www.thelocal.se/20200730/swe...port-work-home

I don’t foresee any unrest or political ramifications from enshrining a two tier society as those most at risk in terms of health are also in the most precarious work.

Not really - one is based on peer-reviewed science, changing when new evidence is found (as all good science should), and the other is just something that has no basis in reality whatsoever.

Sad that you think it is a valid comparison...
