Total deaths recorded in the last 24hrs is 11 + 3 not recorded = 14

Total death toll in U.K. relating to Covid 19 is 58’697

Sorry, I don't understand that at all.

Yeah cos 5k deaths being re-classified makes up for all their mistakes. It's almost like there was no pandemic now.

How many cases we’ve had on each date this month, how many more or less than the previous day that is.

Plenty of bits of information have appeared over the past months about SAGE and so on.....who was on it etc

Epidemiolists was one branch mentioned. And of course hasn't there been occasional disagreement among the members, so that Johnson can claim hes being "guided by the science " when appearing to change course a number of times.

Things are changing constantly as these scientists get better knowledge. I mean we went through the worst part of it not wearing masks when shopping now we have to wear them.
 

I think somethings have gone well and some not so well.

It is concerning that more areas appear on the BBC map. One area that has cropped up is Newark and Sherwood and I’m going there tomorrow. A chap I work with reckons there’s an outbreak in a factory who bus a lot of staff in from Bradford and Leeds area where there’s a lockdown so how does that happen?

Just speaking to my brother and one of his employees had been contacted by the track and trace crew saying someone he knows has Covid. The employee has had a test, which was negative, but he is still being told to isolate for 14 days. The messaging was unclear if that was 14 days since he was in contact with the infected person, since he had the test or since he had the test result. 

Government website says:

" isolate: you will be told to begin self-isolation for 14 days from your last contact with the person who has tested positive. It’s really important to do this even if you don’t feel unwell because, if you have been infected, you could become infectious to others at any point up to 14 days. Your household doesn’t need to self-isolate with you, if you do not have symptoms, but they must take extra care to follow the guidance on social distancing and handwashing and avoid contact with you at home

test if needed: if you develop symptoms of coronavirus, other members of your household must self-isolate immediately at home for 14 days and you must get a test to check if you have coronavirus or call 119 if you have no internet access. If your test is positive, you must continue to stay at home for at least 10 days and we will get in touch to ask about your contacts since they must self-isolate. If your test is negative, you must still complete your 14-day self-isolation period because the virus may not be detectable yet - this is crucial to avoid unknowingly spreading the virus."

Doesn't say what happens if you have no symptoms but are tested. Also, slightly worrying that you could have symptoms but a undetectable virus when tested.

First line of the Government advice makes it fairly clear to me what you need to do.

However I agree that having a test and isolating for 14 days are both pointless. We have the capacity now, we should use it and let people get back to being normal.

Someone very soon is going to ask two very clear and simple questions:

1) How many of these 1000 day cases are asymptomatic, mild or severe. (My guess now is 90% plus asymptomatic).

2) Can asymptomatic paddy the virus on? (WHO say no) However we need some research behind this.

Then we’re gonna realise why the effing eck have we closed the country down for a virus which you don’t even feel remotely different!!!

Do you have any aged close relatives?

are you happy for them to die earlier than they would have as a consequence of corona?

[RamNut]

The bloke I know who had covid-19 has had his health absolutely trashed. 
he has had multiple organ failure. Is so weak he can hardly walk or talk.

would he still be subjected to testing every 28 days? 
if he died would he now no longer count as a victim of coronavirus??

[B4ev6is]

Well the public are ingoring the new rules many people going in shops with no masks on and even at my work place all staff members all have masks on and vicers but very few gusts had masks on but rest had nrothing on.

Can you refrain from using real life examples please? It makes some of the weak arguments on here even weaker.

Have they said that?

I thought the whole danger with asymptomic folk was that they might be passing it on without even knowing that they have it.

Of course that is a fear here but I’m not going to let myself be paralysed by this fear and not get on with life.

Every year I could pass on Flu to that elderly relative, die in a car crash taking them to the Derby matches or pass on any hidden illness of any type.

The fact is we’ve shut up shop now, become social recluses, and damaged our mental health so badly for what is now such a low likelihood of happening that actually that car accident poses a bigger threat to life.

Genuinely when will you consider yourself safe again to get back to normal? Even a vaccine doesn’t guarantee security so does that mean you’ll keep yourself locked up forever?

The Sith lord attended as well after passing his eye test in Barnard Castle

I had one yesterday. 11 to go.

"Barnard Castle Eye Test" is a beer by Brewdog. 6% IPA - not bad but not particularly subtle.

Actually, thinking about it, it makes perfect sense. Kill off the feeble old parasites and, hey presto, no more huge pension funds and people can then revert to retiring at 65 safe in the knowledge that they won't be a drain on resources for more than a year or two afterwards.

The only thing that damages my mental health is reading some of the utter rubbish you write.

We’ve already had millions, just didn’t have tests for them back in March and April.

If we'd had millions I think we'd have had a lot more use for the Nightingale units. Your probably looking at no higher than 1.5 at the outside.
