Re: Coronavirus
Somewhere between 4 and 5 presumably. As test, trace, isolate has broken down under demand pressure there’s no way of knowing with any certainty if we are closer to 5 than 4.

Ok, so either way not near a national lockdown then?

Re: Coronavirus
I’d say increased measures are appropriate given we have near exponential growth and test, trace, isolate has failed.
I’ve been banging on all summer about the inevitability of further restrictions if test, trace, isolate fails so this should really be a surprise to no-one who reads this thread. We need to know who has it, where they are and who is at risk from catching it from them. Without that information we are fire fighting in the dark.

Quote from The Sun: Supermarket bosses have urged Brits not to panic buy as they assured everyone there is plenty of stock and delivery slots.
Pictures over this weekend showed shelves already stripped bare as fears loom of another lockdown amid a coronavirus surge.
Big chains are desperate to avoid repeats of the scenes in March when customers bulk bought essentials like toilet roll, flour and pasta.
Stores bosses have insisted they have more enough to go around as they urged everyone to be sensible.

Re: Coronavirus
No delivery slots for the major ones where I am. Under the “Sweden” approach these are the idiots we’d be asking to voluntarily be sensible. Never happening in a million years.

Yeah we have noticed the availability of delivery slots has become much rarer in the last few days.

If you're looking for slots then surely you're in no position to call others idiots.

We're reading too much into this. I think they were just queuing for the new Steps CD.

I’ve only heard anecdotally from someone who routinely shops online.
I shop in person but we don’t have a Waitrose though so it’s more downmarket than others on here.
