...I know a few people who are part of the track and trace as well and they’re being paid but basically aren’t doing anything...so this ‘radical shake up..’ is a bit confusing and conflicting in what they’re saying...all of these phone calls that aren’t being replied to, aren’t being made...which would be why they’re not being replied to, I strongly suspect...anyways, yeah media is a bitch...but the lies from our government and misleading information is a bitch also...



I mentioned that a few days ago ..

given everyone was complaining it wasnt working properly it made sense to shake it up. My understanding is that the same people will move to providing the information at a local level meaning that there will be now local and national tracing which makes sense to me.

[Vladimir Putin announced today that Russia had
become the first country to register a vaccine,
claiming it has 'passed all the necessary tests'
and offers two years of immunity against the disease.
Putin, 67, said one of his daughters Maria, and Katerina,
had already developed antibodies
against Covid-19 and said her side-effects were
no worse than a high temperature.]

The number of children who have tested positive for Covid-19 in Florida has more than doubled in the past month.

Between July 9 and August 9 the number of coronavirus cases in children rose from 16,797 to 39,735, CNN reported, an increase of 137%.

Hospitalizations of children in the state rose from 213 to 436, a 105% increase.

Across the country, the number of child coronavirus cases rose by 90% between July 9 and August 6, the American Academy of Pediatrics said on Monday. Some of the spike may be attributed to increased testing.

it really doesn't matter how deaths are counted, it's meaningless as i have said right from the start.

That's not me be unsympathetic or uncaring, I'm just being realistic. The virus will kill a certain % of people in the same proportions throughout the world until there is an effective treatment or a vaccine. That may sound harsh but its true. The government can't force people to social distance so there will be further deaths, each person has to take their own responsibility for their actions

How could elderly residents of a supposed Care Home take responsibility for their own actions..
Especially if they have mild or worse dementia.

If others march in with the virus.
As was the case when the advice was to clear the hospitals of the elderly to free up beds.

With no testing, then sending them back to Care homes with the virus.

How could those other residents then as YOU say all should, take responsibility for their own actions and save themselves.

For crying out loud!!.

Almost 300 people have tested positive for Covid-19 following an outbreak at a factory which makes M&S sandwiches.

Greencore in Northampton started "proactively testing" workers due to rising numbers of cases in the town.

Lucy Wightman, Director of Public Health at Northamptonshire County Council, said 299 workers had tested positive.

A spokesman for the company, which employs 2,100 people, said those who tested positive were self-isolating.

He added that in each case it had "conducted contact tracing".

Mrs Wightman said 220 people had tested positive as part of Greencore's testing and another 79 "through the national process" and all were employees at the site.

She said 1,300 employees had been tested but there might be up to 100 more cases as between 300 and 400 results are yet to come back.

The first four cases were identified on 28 July, with a further nine cases on 3 August leading Public Health Northamptonshire to ask workers to get tested.

Once the 79 positive results came back, Greencore began mass testing over the last three days.

Greencore said production at the plant was "continuing as usual" and it had no concerns about its products.

Coronavirus cases across England appear to be levelling off, despite flare-ups in local hotspots, according to estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

An estimated 1 in 1,900, or 28,300 people in England currently have the virus.

The ONS said evidence of a "small increase" people testing positive in July has now stabilised.

It has been regularly testing people in private households since April.

The ONS survey provides a consistent picture of what's been happening, because it regularly tests a large group of people - whether they have symptoms or not.

Dear The Slim Reaper
Birth date – 24 March 1986

Your coronavirus test result is negative. You did not have the virus when the test was done.

If you feel well but someone you live with tests positive or you’ve been traced as a contact of someone who tested positive you must still self-isolate. Follow the guidance on 14 days self-isolation.

If you get symptoms of coronavirus, get tested and self-isolate for 10 days from when they start.

If you’re not a contact you may return to work if you’ve not had a fever for 48 hours and feel well. Talk to your employer first.

If you’re shielding, or this is for a care home resident, follow the guidance. If the care home resident still has symptoms they may need a repeat test.

If this result is for a child or staff member at school or nursery, tell the school or nursery.

Contact 111 if you need medical help. In an emergency, dial 999.

great to hear you got the all clear, must be a bit nerve wracking waiting on the result, did you do a home test or go to a centre?

[The Slim Reaper]

great to hear you got the all clear, must be a bit nerve wracking waiting on the result, did you do a home test or go to a centre?

I went to a centre which was at Edgbaston Cricket ground (made it a bit more pleasant than some out of town Milton Keynes type industrial centre), but it's still a self test. You have to keep your windows up, and they hold cards up with the phone numbers, so you have to call them even though they're standing right outside the motor. Open the window a couple of inches so they push the kit through, talk you through it, then send you on to the next stage, and at this point I was the only person in there, so I had about 6 people round the car watching me wretch on the bud down my throat first of all, but the worst part is definitely up the nose trying to push it back as far as possible.

Then there's a test tube with some liquid in the bottom that you break the bottom part of the bud into, seal it up, then drop it off at the next station and I was out of there in less than 10 mins.

They did have a sign up for administered testing but I've a feeling it might be for those who don't have my youth and vitality :smug: and would have problems. They just directed me through to the self testing, so that's the way I went. Actually makes sense, especially as peoples cars have a constant stream of crap flying around in them, so cutting down the contact here is the best thing.

You know, trust me.

They have no idea if it's fine, a couple of months isn't long enough to assess potential side effects OR longevity of immunity. All of these soldiers it was tested on could suffer horrendous side effects in 6 months time. That's why testing can't be rushed.

But Putin is going ahead in a few weeks time,

Tragic and sad to hear you've lost 2 of your co workers lime.

I've really stopped posting on this thread because after losing no less than 4 people in my life.

All we hear now is praise for the government's handling now.
The media is the enemy and all wrong.
Also the deaths are lower so things improved.
When it's still hundreds dying weekly.

We have figures we can't trust and a government that's deceived near all through.
And hundreds of thousands, possibly into the million or more now, of people left grieving for lost loved ones, of family, friends, neighbours and in your case, work colleagues too.

The losses of life almost near dismissed and played down.

People may think very differently if they actually lost any loved ones really close to them through this detestable virus.
However that is absolutely something I desperately hope no one else ever does have to go through.
As I have and still am while seeing my family and friends go through it as well.

I'm no fan of the media myself, I'm one of it's strongest critics.
However without some relentless pushing by some of and in the media.
The Care home deaths scandal would have likely been brushed under the carpet by government.

Also the deceit ongoing daily of the protection equipment farce by the government would have been too.

The testing figures blatant lying as well.

However, even from government all we are getting is near hailing of success that deaths are not rising as high as they were a few months ago.
So they don't even offer condolences to the bereaved families of still hundreds of deaths last week, even on new ' conveniently likely adjusted ' figures now.
The same now dismissiveness almost from sectors and people in the Country too.
Especially England.
Hailing lower RISING deaths of others loved ones.

To lime, sorry again for your loss of your colleagues, 45 is no age at all really, it's devastating.
My losses are 2 under 40 of the 4 in my life who are now no longer with us.
4 people I couldn't even attend the funerals of.
That's the true reality of this virus.

I can't see much reason to look for optimism or hail any successes coming too late now.
Especially not while the death toll is stil rising, not just weekly but daily too.
In England.

Netherlands

from friday afternoon to saturday afternoon we registered like 655 new cases of covid-19, and over entire week we got 4,508 new cases, the week before it were like 3,255

in these former mentioned 24 hours, we got like 7 new hospitalisations, past week we had like 56 new hospitalisations, more than the week before when we had 34 new hospitalisations


23 out of 47 students of SSR Rotterdam have been tested positive for covid-19 after a excursion to Greece, all positively tested students have went into quarantine like it should, the board of the university will hold several meetings if any extra measures should be necessary

our minister of foreign affairs Stef Blok has handed out Code Orange negative travel advice for Brussels, Paris, Madrid, Marseille and areas around those places, and islands like Ibiza, Mallorca

code orange means that non-important trips to those places is being advised against, people who need to return from these areas now get urgent advice to go into home isolation asap

these measures also count for Burgos, Salamanca, Almeria, Navarra, these regions had been coping with huge number of covid increases

[user104658]

there is no reason for the government to hide infection figures, but conspiracy theories are always more funMarket confidence and stock performance correlates heavily with Covid data fluctuations. In terms of the markets and GDP, there is EVERY reason to disguise a spike, especially if you think it's anomalous and doesn't indicate a bigger looming problem.

Police in north-west England broke up two wedding receptions on Sunday for breaching coronavirus restrictions.

Officers in Blackburn found more than 100 guests attending one reception, while in Greater Manchester a fixed penalty notice was issued to the organiser of a wedding with more than 50 guests and a marquee.

Both areas are subject to local restrictions to prevent people socialising with other households. Elsewhere across England, sit-down wedding receptions of up to 30 people are allowed.

The wedding in Whalley Range, Manchester, was one of 54 reported coronavirus breaches between 15:00 BST and 23:00 on Sunday in Greater Manchester, police said.

Deputy chief constable of Greater Manchester Police Ian Pilling said most people were "doing the right thing" so it was "incredibly disappointing that these people are being continuously let down by a small majority, who are selfishly flouting the very guidance that is there to keep us safe".

I'd guess really much worse to come too, once the furlough scheme is stopped.

Certainly no good news here in those figures with no good news to come in the future, short to medium term too.

As well as continuing rising losses of lives, lives too shattered by long term and permanent organ damage, even brain damage, from this virus.
Millions left grieving and heartbroken too.

For likely over a million or even millions to come, also their security, employment and livelihoods destroyed following this virus too.

I'd love to look for optimism and positives but frankly those things I've listed, leave me only seeing the devastation left behind daily by this virus.

With only still more negative uncertainty to come in the short to medium term future at least too.

Covid-19 clusters in Glasgow and Lanarkshire have been linked to house parties.

A joint statement from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and NHS Lanarkshire said the two boards were working together on the outbreak.

A total of 14 linked Covid cases have been identified in north-east Glasgow in addition to eight North Lanarkshire cases.

The health boards confirmed on Monday that the cases were linked.

They also said that evidence of social gatherings with no social distancing was a factor in their investigation.

A spokesman for both organisations said: "We can confirm there are links to cases across both health boards. We work closely on cross-board issues on a regular basis, including on the current clusters, where investigations are ongoing.

"There is currently no evidence of transmission in the schools.

"There is evidence that mixing socially, particularly around social gatherings in houses, without maintaining physical distancing measures can transmit the virus and is a factor in this investigation."

Scotland's national clinical director Jason Leitch warned that "unregulated" house parties were a "real concern".

He said young people were meeting in numbers beyond what was allowed and with no physical distancing.

"This our first real palpable example of [house parties] giving people positive infections of a virus that can make us very sick," he said.

Mr Leitch told BBC Radio Scotland's Drivetime programme communication was a difficulty and said "influencers" and teachers should be used to help get the message across to young people that house parties were helping spread the infection.

It emerged on Sunday that a pupil at Bannerman High in Baillieston, who had attended classes when the school reopened last week, had tested positive for the virus.

Several other pupils at Bannerman High had previously tested positive, but began self-isolating prior to the return to class last week.

Five pupils at nearby schools in North Lanarkshire have tested positive in recent days, including:

Three pupils from St Ambrose High School in Coatbridge
One pupil from St Andrew's High School in Coatbridge
One pupil from Caldervale High School in Airdrie
There are also three further linked cases who are not pupils or staff at the schools.

Test and Protect is now tracing those who were in contact with the pupil at Bannerman High and Glasgow City Council has written to parents.

Fifth pupil tests positive in Lanarkshire cluster
Pupils from two Coatbridge schools test positive for Covid-19
Covid-19 in Scotland: Where are the latest cases?
Parents of a senior pupil at one of the affected schools in North Lanarkshire told the BBC they were "disappointed" their son had to self-isolate after "the selfish actions of others".

They did not want to be identified, but said they were informed their son was sitting close enough to one of the positive cases for more than 15 minutes and had to self-isolate.

His mother said: "We've done everything we can to protect our children during lockdown. So we are really disappointed that the actions of others has resulted in this.

"We got a phone call on Sunday night and our world turned upside down. Test and trace phoned to advise that our teenage son had been identified as a contact of a positive pupil at Caldervale High.

"Our son had already seen it via social media, he knew who the boy was and had sat next to him in a class. And because he had sat next to him for over 15 minutes he has to get contacted by Test and Protect."

She added: "He has to isolate until 27 August. He's now missing school because of selfish actions of people having house parties.

"We believe this has all stemmed from a house party at Coatbridge involving a large number of kids. People who are encouraging young people to get involved in parties do not understand the implications on others."

The child's father said he had to take his son to be tested at Ravenscraig on Monday morning.

He added: "there were three cars in front and we had to do the test ourselves in the car. By the time we had finished there were another 10-15 cars with kids in them doing tests."

During the Scottish government coronavirus briefing on Monday, Nicola Sturgeon said: "I am concerned about what appears to be a rising number or cases, albeit that many of these new cases we are seeing are linked to known clusters and outbreaks.

"But nevertheless it's a really sharp reminder for us that the threat of the virus has not gone away.

"All of us need to be really, really careful, ultra-careful when it comes to abiding by all of the public health advice."

She said people must be careful about the school connection as they are community outbreaks that involve school pupils but are not school outbreaks.

Marks & Spencer is cutting 7,000 jobs over the next three months across its stores and management.

It said the coronavirus pandemic had made it clear there had a been a "material shift in trade".

In-store sales of clothing and home goods were "well below" 2019, although online and home deliveries were strong.

The retailer said it expected a "significant proportion" of the jobs to go through voluntary redundancy and early retirement.

In a statement, M&S said it was "too early to predict with precision where a new post-Covid sales mix will settle. We must now act to reflect this change".

But the retailer said operating during the pandemic had showed it could work "more flexibly and productively", with more staff multi-tasking and moving between food, clothing and home departments.

At the height of lockdown in May, M&S boss Steve Rowe said customers might "never shop the same way again" after the coronavirus crisis.

"Whilst some customer habits will return to normal, others have changed forever," he said.

And last month the retailer announced 950 store management and head office jobs were at risk because it needed to accelerate its restructuring.

They're ****ed if they keep that up; it's pretty conclusive now that the Global strain of Covid-19 is the strain that mutated in Europe (probably Italy) and in lab settings it's up to 10x more contagious (not more dangerous to the individual, just easier to catch) than the original Wuhan strain that hit China. Wuhan/China have never actually fought the same virus that we've been fighting in Europe and in the US. The more contagious tsrain will loop back round to them eventually and if they're having gatherings like this, it'll take hold very quickly.

The safest place to be is a swimming pool...the clorine will kill the virus on contact.

Does chlorine kill the coronavirus?
“The coronavirus doesn’t survive in chlorinated water,” infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, MD, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in Maryland, tells Health.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t get COVID-19 while in a swimming pool. Coronavirus is a respiratory illness, which means it spreads when droplets from the mouth or nose fly through the air. So anywhere you’re interacting with others who are talking, coughing, or sneezing—even if you’re in the water—puts you at risk of inhaling a droplet from an infected person.

Dr. Adalja says the biggest risk of going to the pool lies out of the water. “There can be crowded conditions and common touch surfaces (like the deck and the locker room) that may provide an opportunity for the virus to transmit,” he says.
