The "I`ve got it" thread...

You have explained the situation perfectly

The approach is one of managed spread once it was decided educational institutions would remain open and operating. And for the greater good. Some deaths will occur early - in all age groups, though more likely in the over 60's, the few younger ones unfortunate, with a gamble (assessed risk) that Long Covid is not damaging. The trade off is some business failure in the hospitality sector of the economy and some effects on the broader economy. Just have to keep on the tightrope with regard to hospital facilities for those that need it. Hey ho.


But that is based on hope rather than fact.

We'll only know what does happen after the event .. this is typical UK Civil Service IMHO, they gave up because they know they aren't competant enough to control Covid.

Let's hope Covid doesn't mutate into something more deadly otherwise we are screwed.

Yes, I concur. - lets for sake of comfort say hope based on some assumption of fact. Cheer up. There a 8 billion homo sapiens on the planet. Likely some will survive - just might not be me or thee!!! Best wishes. Good to have you back this evening posting with a few quick, curt and barbed comments. Adds to the cut and thrust.

Been working pretty hard for the past 10 months .. last week had someone ask for another 8 months of hard work. And today had some more business interest.

Don't really want to get back into Brexit too and fro. Want to wait and see what happens.

Just returned to Kenya after three weeks in UK. Before being allowed to fly I had to have a negative Covid test and fill in the Kenya Government’s tracking form. On arrival they checked our certificate our Kenya Covid app and had our temperature taken. Everyday I get a message from the Ministry of Health asking how I am. Two weeks self isolating in the UK never a word from the Government.

Fascinating. 700 out of 100,000, so 0.7% asymptomatic 'carriers'. No wonder Covid keeps on circulating. Gonna be difficult to return society to normal with that number of carriers on the go. A typical Championship / Premier League footie game with crowd of 30 - 45,000 could have 250 or so carriers. Looks as though gatherings are out until country is vaccinated.

Not surprised if its taking 9 days to get a test result for a nurse, as has been claimed on here.

That'll be me making that claim then .. please read it properly.

Wasn't a nurse but our youngest... and she was tested the 2nd and got the results the 11th.

My missus is a nurse tested regularly at work and the results come through early the next morning usually at 6AM ish.

Numbers.... be patient.... goal posts have been shifted by PHE.

PHE has updated the way it records the location of people who test positive or negative for COVID-19.
It now prioritises addresses given at the point of testing over the details registered on a patient’s NHS Summary Care Record, or in a student’s case, address where they are currently living not home address.
This better reflects the distribution of cases and testing.
However, it may give rise to differences in previously reported numbers of cases and rates in some areas.
The change has been retrospectively applied to tests carried out from 1 September 2020, and data was updated to reflect this change on 16 November 2020.
Due to reallocation of cases in this way, the number of cases reported by local authority may be artificially high or low on 16 November 2020.

So Leicester City figures.
Previous day figure was 14,474.
Another 243 positive cases were added to give a total 14,717.
The reallocation of test results saw 64 Leicester positive cases removed and added to other UK area totals.
437 positive case were added to the Leicester City total.
The difference meant that another 373 positive cases were added to the City total.
Added together 243 + 373 gave a daily rise of 616, taking Leicester City total to 15,090.

Melton & Harborough’s figure for yesterday was actually lower than the previous day after reallocation.
The reporting system could not report a daily minus figure so defaulted to zero. (Don`t laugh at the back!!)
Previous day County figure was 16,071.
New figure 16,636 after new positive case and reallocation took place.
This now gives a total of 31,726 positive cases in Leicestershire.

And we have 230 positive in patients and are at Alert Level 4....... it only goes up to 5.

I wondered why all the regional numbers changed yesterday - thanks for the explanation!
Given that all the negatives were recorded as zero at least that means yesterday’s total was an overstatement.
