I thought that would be a given but I heard that all necessary equipment AND the most appropriately qualified staff are all based in hospitals.. to care for ALL emergencies.

Makes you wonder why they haven’t picked /trained specifically trained COVID teams over the last 6 months - it’s not as though it was ever just gonna disappear ..

Well well well...

"The empirical estimates suggest that the scheme may be responsible for around 8-17% of all new detected Covid-19 clusters (at least two new infections in the same area) emerging during August and into early September in the UK,” Fetzer concludes.

Fetzer used rainfall to try to estimate whether the increase was caused by the programme. He found that in areas that had a lot of rain during lunch and dinner hours on Mondays to Wednesday that month, fewer people ate out and fewer people were infected. The same pattern was not visible if it rained on other days of the week, suggesting that the scheme itself was directly responsible for the increase in infections.

An estimate based solely on rainfall

[Covid: Birmingham shisha cafe shut down after second breach

Police have closed a shisha cafe after finding about
150 people inside, days after the venue was hit
with a £10,000 fine for Covid-19 breaches.
Officers forced their way in to Kasablanca in
the Highgate area of Birmingham
at 01:00 BST on 24 October.

Video posted on YouTube shows officers
forcing entry to the smokers' lounge on Moseley Street,
with shrieks audible as they disperse the crowds.
The venue had broken restrictions
earlier this month, police said.]

Test and Trace failed to reach its target.
So we have no solid data.

Christmas is overrated, basically one day of nonsense.

While some are still ignoring the guidelines, the vast majority are complying. What this implies to me is that the virus remains airborne for a while so that the social distancing of 2 metres is less effective. If the virus remains airborne for say 15 or even 30 mins then you could catch it by walking in to an infected "pocket" even if you do stick to the 2 metre distancing. Something like this must be happening for the rate to be increasing as it is.

Doesn’t the science say you have to be in the presence of someone for 15 minutes. This is being spread indoors in homes and businesses like the one above who are flouting the law ..150 people smoking shisha? ..how many businesses are going undetected
