Have you heard the radio ads? “If you’re on public transport or in the park, it like the people around you will be infected with coronavirus”........... really.

Keep ‘em scared, keep’em scared.
If there’s more than 100 people in the park that’s true.

We keenly await a report on the reason for this.
Very worrying for NZ, but they’ve had a few examples of community transmission successfully stamped out before so I’m rooting for them.

Potentially false negative tests or simply a late onset of infection. It’s always been thought possible just unlikely as the vast majority are between by days 5-7.

I did read a theory on the “new variant” that it was more difficult to detect and that’s one hypothesis for greater spread - people who test negative continue their lives as normal. Don’t know if further analysis has been done.
