the announcing of this (via Twitter) the day before Eid al-Adha in areas with high Muslim population seems quite deliberate.Comment

I'm watching cases in China again carefully. China has reported more than 100 new cases for three consecutive days. The last time it did that was at the beginning of March.Comment

In reality, "You stupid cunts voted Tory on racist grounds and now you can't visit your families" would be harsh but, in some cases, fair.Originally posted by Rogin the Armchair fan View Post
But, yeah, we are now in the Muslim scapegoating phase. Expect the policy to be enforced more strictly in Muslim areas, and whites shopping their Muslim neighbours.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 31-07-2020, 10:46.Comment

More of this, please: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53609354
Looks like the general level of the virus in the community is actually around, what, 8 times or so what the daily confirmed test results figure tell us. And that's in a country with a pretty good testing regime. Makes you wonder what the real levels are in South Asia and South America, for instance.Comment

Yes, you would hope that if it had been an urgent matter, notification would be much swifter.Comment

Mrs CJ and I got tested last week. Got an appointment online at a local drive-in test centre within 2 hours, got the results (2x negative) 18 hours later. We were reluctantly quite impressed.Comment

I got chosen at random for covid 19 testing. I was sent a pack through the post, I watched the youttube video about how to do it and then I booked for the courier to come. I booked forTuesday and once I had self swabbed I had to keep the sample in the fridge until the courier arrived.
Thursday I was told I am Covid19 free.Comment

30 new positive cases today in Scotland (the largest daily rise in 8 weeks), but 0 deaths. The slight caveat being that Scotland is carrying out 3 times the number of daily tests that we were 8 weeks ago.
Half of all new cases in the last 7 days have been in the 20 - 39 year old age bracket.
4 patients in intensive care, up 2 from yesterday.Comment

ChaserLatest R number and growth rate
Last updated on Friday 31 July 2020.
Latest R number range for the UK0.8-0.9
Latest growth rate range for the UK -1% to -4% per day
The UK estimates of R and growth rate are averages over very different epidemiological situations and should be regarded as a guide to the general trend rather than a description of the epidemic state.
These estimates represent the transmission of COVID-19 from several weeks ago due to a time delay between someone being infected and needing healthcare. Estimates that use more timely data reflecting infections, suggest a higher R for England than shown here. As a result, SAGE does not have confidence that R is currently below 1 in England.
0.8-1.0 -4 to -1 0.7-1.0 -6 to -1 0.8-1.0 -4 to 0 0.7-0.9 -6 to -2 0.7-0.9 -6 to -2 0.8-1.1 -5 to +1 0.8-1.0 -3 to 0 0.8-1.1 -4 to +1
One of those numbers is 80px and bolded and the other is 14px.Comment

There is also this bar snack around the regional figures:
*Low case numbers and/ or a high degree of variability in transmission across the region means these estimates are insufficiently robust to inform policy decisions.
The policy decisions made in a hurry last night, or other ones?Comment
