Cases: 100k per day Deaths: 140 per day Hospitalizations: 2000 per day ... all 7 day averages. I am not making a prediction here though I think these numbers are plausible ... but hypothetically what judgement would you make based on these numbers?

She had phone calls from Friday but had only done the test on Friday. Got pinged and a email on Sunday. Phone calls have stopped, and no messages left. Right so its as a result of a test then, or someone on the plane has tested positive. My original point about anyone who ONLY gets a notification from the app still stands, and wouldnt be surprised if employers are suggesting to their employees to delete it.

She had put the test in box on Friday, so it's not that. She hasn't had test results back yet. I suspect it's the plane. The plane with better air circulation than many buildings and everyone was wearing masks. Or the taxi (the one with driver behind a perspex screen and every was wearing etc etc). 140k at Silverstone this weekend by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is difficult. The high infection rates at the moment make it seem a strange decision to reopen right now, but then again, nobody is forced to go clubbing. I still think that reopening is a good thing, but I would have liked to see masks remain compulsory in food shops and on public transport. Just about anything else is optional and personal choice is ok for optional stuff I’ve also been out and about this morning. Still plenty of masks around, even on a day when they are certainly unpleasant to wear. I’ve also noticed some smaller retailers pointing out that masking might help them to not get infected. Which might mean that their business survives. Its all a bit up in the air at the moment. Let’s hope it turns out fine. 1 minute ago, HeHasRisen said: Oh aye I know the whole thing is a shambles.

Test and trace called me once in those 20 days and I could have been anywhere when I spoke to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargate is busy but The Moor is absolutely rammed, like a Saturday afternoon. Agree though that most of the people you see, especially in shops are still wearing face coverings. I know they keep saying that the vaccines are the game changer but heard this morning that this time last year, the numbers infected, hospitalised & dying from Covid were much lower than those reported yesterday. It'll be interesting to see the numbers by say, the end of the first week in August? They would be though wouldn't they - last summer we'd not long since come out of lockdown and there would have been much less virus about. You'd have to look at the number of cases this time last year and I'm pretty sure it was a lot less that 50k+ per day. 45 minutes ago, Mister M said: Boris is giving a statement to the nation at 5:00 this evening from Chequers, where he is isolating.
