[He thanked pupils for their efforts to limit
the spread of coronavirus,
saying: 'We have the number of deaths way down,
we have the number of hospital admissions way,
way down and it's thanks to you and
your sacrifice that we have protected
the NHS and saved literally tens of thousands,
if not hundreds of thousands, of lives']

Well "most" is unlikely because the majority of tests are still on people who think they might have it (and thus, are displaying some symptoms). But yes, a lot of them will be mild symptoms - a basic cough or a random fever that breaks in 48 hours. But there will be a lot more asymptomatic people out there who have no symptoms at all and aren't included in any figures.

I've not read about it but, as a guess, it's because these sprays are usually a sort of "cream" that you spray on and rub into your skin like sun tan lotion. Potentially, if you do that on any exposed skin, it would act like a protective layer and kill any viral particles that land on you.

I would mention though; they taste horrendously bitter (they're designed to stop insects biting). Don't get it on your lips and don't try to eat a sandwich with it on your hands. Yuck.

Coronavirus outbreak at Norfolk chicken factory sees 75 test positive and 350 families enter self-isolation...



A Norfolk chicken factory has partially shut after 75 workers tested positive and hundreds of families entered self-isolation.

A further 39 positive Covid-19 tests were confirmed among the workforce at Banham Poultry in Attleborough on Wednesday after 347 staff were tested.

The county's director of public health, Dr Louise Smith, said it was "now being regarded as a significant national outbreak".

It has sparked fears Norfolk could be the next area of the country to enter local lockdown.

The cutting area of the factory is to close on Thursday morning and staff have been asked to quarantine along with their families.

Dr Smith said: “We are now working with colleagues across the county, regionally and nationally to take specialist advice, including learning from other similar outbreaks in other parts of the UK.

"This will assist us to quickly make decisions on what the next steps will be to prevent further transmission of the virus."

Dr Smith added: "At this stage in our investigation these cases of infection are in staff who work in Banham Poultry and their households."

She said the source of the outbreak has not yet been determined and there were no plans yet for a local lockdown.

At least one factory staff member was taken to hospital but their conditon is not known.

Other areas of the plant - which employs 1,100 people - will remain open for the time being, but Government ministers are set to assess the situation on Thursday.

Norfolk’s Public Health team is working with the management team at Banham Poultry and colleagues at Breckland Council, Public Health England and the Department of Health.

the problem is that a creep very quickly becomes a leap. I think we will be deep in the poo again in 4 weeks time, taking into account schools going back next week
