it's very simple. The test shows positive when a person has a viral load that triggers the positive result in the test. It can take up to 10 days to build up the viral load to a point that would trigger a positive result, and during that time you could be passing it along. That's why they do a couple of tests several days apart

Lockdown isn't even in operation yet, and it will take a while before we start seeing the numbers drop.

With the new evil England virus, folks don't need to be partying to transmit. Going about daily life is enough if not adhering to strict methods of prevention.

Netherlands: no real effect of national lockdown so far in numbers, which still will end on 19th of January (and also no press conferences scheduled anymore here too)

the new variant is going to spread around the world quickly. The reality is that numbers across the world are going to spike. People saying lockdown is not bringing numbers down, it took 6 weeks before they started levelling off here in March and significantly longer before numbers started to come down. You don't flick a switch and the numbers drop

Question: ITV's Robert Peston asks what the chances
are that England will be out of lockdown by the middle of March.]


[The PM says "it all depends" on a number of things - including whether
the virus doesn't mutate unexpectedly again,
the vaccine roll-out can go as planned,
and people stick to the new lockdown rules.]
