Maybe one force will decline to follow up on account of the other handling it but theoretically she broke two different laws in two different countries. |

The return journey after recieving a positive result would've breached English law. Of and in itself that is two different possible chrges. |

Well I couldn’t give a toss about the SNP person. Same way I didn’t give a toss about Cummings, or Kinnock or anyone.
We’re now a week into the sudden rise of infections. One the attached images shows a definitive second wave of infections. The second attachment shows the deaths. By this time next week if the death rate hasn’t rapidly shot upwards by at least a factor of 10 then there is an obvious disconnect between infection rate and death rate compared to the first wave. It will be argued that there was much less testing first time around. Which is right. But then I would suggest then that the “infection rate”: is the wrong metric on which to use them “whack a mole” strategy, as it is obvious the infection rate does not correlate to death/ hospital rate. For judging whether to put extra restrictions on an area must surely be on the capability of the area to manage hospital cases. If the hospitals can not handle any more Covid cases, close the area down. But if there is plenty of capacity, crack on. |

I had a phone call last week from the office that deals with anything I need whilst shielding. Unusually, I was asked questions about my experience of people wearing masks or not, complying with the restrictions in my neighbourhood or not etc. I mentioned this to a friend who (along with his partner and two sons) are also getting paid to take Covid 19 tests every week for a year and he has received a similar phone call. I wonder if the Government is trying to subtly find out if people are taking any notice of them?? Payments for Covid 19 tests by the Government (for selected people) are as follows: Swab nose and throat tests every week- £50 for first test, then £25 per subsequent test for each family member. In addition a blood test is taken once a month- extra £50 for first blood test, then £25 for each subsequent test per family member. This is scheduled to last for 12 months, so it's a nice little earner for my friend as between him and his family they will receive £6420 over the year and this may be extended. Ironically, he told me that he'd have been prepared to do it for free to know that him & his family were free of Covid. Now, imagine all the other people being paid to take tests and it won't be an insignificant sum, but what the heck, it's only taxpayers money and/or Government debt that will meet the cost!!! |

Infection rate alone is a bad metric to use. The direction of travel, who is getting infected, testing capacity and success or otherwise of contact tracing all have to be considered. A random figure like say 10,000 cases a day wouldn’t be awful if we had high confidence we were finding and isolating them and their close contacts quickly. With testing capacity to make those available to those who need them quickly. 10,000 cases a day when it’s taking a week to get test results, many can’t book tests and we’ve a low confidence in track and trace is a different kettle of fish. Scenario 1 can very quickly go out of control. |
Re: Coronavirus
Delays in the government-funded testing programme mean schools both state and private are now going private for testing. Despite the £10bn the government's spent on it.

Re: Coronavirus
Me thinks the Corby/Johnson Snr incidents are not really a problem. Yes they break the letter of the law but may not break the spirit of the law and even to the letter the infringement is pretty minor. (Maybe Johnson Snr asked if he could enter without mask and shop was empty. So the dinner party had 7 or 8 people instead of 6, it's a bit like driving at 75 on the motorway in good conditions/light traffic etc, yes it breaks the law and you can be stopped but it's not what the law is really intended for.
We shouldn't need such precise laws for Covid, it should be enough to have them as enforcible guidelines and the police with ability to use discretion and handle accordingly where needed. But the plonkers would just keep push around the boundaries in more "dangerous" ways. |

Re: Coronavirus
Although this video has been produced as a result of Mr Trumps admission to hospital it is a pretty good run down by Dr Mike Hanson who specializes in (and is board certified in) internal medicine, pulmonary disease, and critical care medicine.on the treatment of Covid-19 in hospital.
