Angry Ram Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 4 hours ago, sage said: Derby College are going back in tomorrow. All students were asked to have covid tests on Friday and today. In my lad's class of 13, only him and one other have taken tests. Absolute waste of time. Wait for the inevitable spike. Hope they were all sent home? What are the bloody parents doing ffs? My missus was back last week prepping for today. She hate those bloody tests, reaches every time she does them but it's what you have to do.

I tried patiently explaining to one of his college friends why it's important she takes the test and she burst into tears. They will all be wearing masks in the classroom this time, but yes, what are parents doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've answered your own question for just one of the multiple reasons why they're not taking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, my missus says that and I have a friend back in the US who is really poorly and off work after having his 2nd jab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think severe reactions seem to be low, i know plenty now who have had and the most really people have complained of his feeling a bit 'meh'. I guess we will see over here as more people have the 2nd jab, my dad should be having his in about 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIllyD Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) One of the lowest rates for in Europe now ? Have to look further up the chart for Sweden ? Edited March 10, 2021 by BIllyD Spelling Wolfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Derbyshire Dales has had a big spike in cases. The rate was around 50 per 100,000 a couple of days ago - now up to 160 (England Average is 50). Has there been a big outbreak or something?.

As I'm from the DD myself I feared a human/ovine jump of the virus. Phew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Interesting uptick in the number of cases yesterday compared to a week ago, although deaths continue to fall. I wonder if the rise in cases has anything to do with the mass testing of schoolchildren and the postulated (relatively) high numbers of 'false positives' which apply with respect to the lateral flow tests as opposed to the PCR test - or do they wait until after a PCR test confirming the positive before adding to the actual count.

The dashboard has put up a new dataset, for England only: number of positives by type of test conducted. somebody else's summary which I have shamefully copied "which we can conclude that, despite concerns, there can't really be much of a false positive problem with the lateral flow tests (from 1,484,812 LFTs conducted in England on the 8th, a total of 1,012 positives were incurred - a rate of 0.068% of tests )" There can't be many infectious schoolchildren being detected at the moment, either, which is encouraging (even if there's a noticeable number of false negatives, we'd still be picking up most of the real positives). ariotofmyown and Eddie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
