yea but if if and maybe are quadrupled then we may see possibly emerging according to the scientists.

Just because you have no experience, or don’t understand, something, doesn’t make it wrong or valueless.

If that were true, you would think astrophysics or recombinant DNA technology were bullshit... ;)

Newsflash from the chief medical officers from the four nations of the UK. The level should be upgraded from 3 to 4.

According the governments own traffic Light system, then no Extra Restrictions should be imposed until we reach level 5

Well it looks like we're getting extra restrictions tomorrow.

Back to my point about taking Government at face value...

Welcome back to the forum, Den. ;)

Its a stupid scale anyway, level 1 will never be achieved.

Daily “moonshot” tests for Covid-19 which will allow people to resume normal life will not be available on the NHS, the Government’s testing czar has suggested.

Dido Harding said that individuals and companies would have to pay to access the proposed tests, which would return results in as little as 15 minutes, as a “cost of doing business”.

Up to 10million of the tests are due to be made available every day as a way of getting the UK closer to normality before the advent of a coronavirus vaccine. If you take the test and get a negative result it means you are not contagious – even if you are infected – and can therefore visit the theatre, attend a conference or socialise without fear of passing on Covid-19 that day.

The quick-turnaround tests will be available free for patients with symptoms, but those who want them in order to avoid social distancing may have to buy one. Baroness Harding said that although the tests are intended to be rolled out by the Government in the coming months, they will not all be part of the NHS Test and Trace scheme which she heads...

...A spokesperson for the Department of Health said: “We are investing in new, faster tests to be available to the public, for free, through NHS Test and Trace for those who need it. Deploying the next generation of tests, which may reduce the need for social distancing in specific circumstances, will require a collaboration between businesses, Government and the NHS. We continue to explore these options.”

Covid: Pubs and restaurants in England to have 10pm closing times

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54242634

Quote:

All pubs, bars, restaurants and other hospitality venues in England must have a 22:00 BST closing time from Thursday, to help curb the spread of coronavirus.

The sector will also be restricted by law to table service only.

The measures will be set out by the prime minister in Parliament before an address to the nation to be broadcast live at 20:00 on Tuesday.

I have a solution to deal with those people who can't wear or refuse to wear a mask.

Simply make mask only carriages, and carriages that are mask free, that way they can infect themselves.

In shops have hours for those no mask wears, and all other times no mask no entry no exception.

What the . . . ???

So they're now saying you can be infected even if you test negative? . . . and although you're infected it's not contagious?
Throw that little conundrum into your daily spread sheet calculations then, see how accurate you can guesstimate it now.

Sorry, but the more I see from these cretins, the less I believe :rolleyes:

There’s a few reasons to be more than sceptical about “operation moonshot”.

I suspect such an erm, fanciful, idea will never get off the ground but it’s a good way to siphon public money into the private sector to (once again) not deliver.

How soon after I'm infected with the new coronavirus will I start to be contagious?
The time from exposure to symptom onset (known as the incubation period) is thought to be three to 14 days, though symptoms typically appear within four or five days after exposure.
We know that a person with COVID-19 may be contagious 48 to 72 hours before starting to experience symptoms. Emerging research suggests that people may actually be most likely to spread the virus to others during the 48 hours before they start to experience symptoms.
If true, this strengthens the case for face masks, physical distancing, and contact tracing, all of which can help reduce the risk that someone who is infected but not yet experiencing symptoms may unknowingly infect others.

So there's a gap between exposure and the contagious phases.

All that says to me, is that someone who tested negative yesterday, could be spreading the disease tomorrow blissfully unaware they would now test positive.

Waste of time, money, effort :rolleyes:
