Just shows there were voices saying exactly this and so the person who is accountable for delaying the lockdown needs to accept responsibility rather than saying people were saying different things

Hang on so they only managed to contact 2/3 of those who tested + and 15% of them refused to isolate?

Maybe he’ll volunteer to take a
few classes ‘in the national interest’ - pretty sure we know what the answer would be.

I think this does go to show how 5400 infected people end up being in contact with over 30000 (despite restrictions in theory being in place) - a very simple example of how quickly it could spread.

Think I've read today that the app is likely to be replaced by the tech companies versions .
I've wondered why we haven't just purchased the version available from SK?
Adapt it to our own requirements.

Because knowing the utter numpties who are SoS for Health and Social Care and the array of nodding dogs beneath, even though that was always known to be the right idea they thought they'd attempt to build one anyway.

Yesterday at work, we had a virtual town hall meeting (not sure if you have them in the UK).
Anyway the last topic in the meeting was "Issues in Health Equity".
I'm sure you've heard that Covid-19 affects minorities more than privileged white people.
The implication being that this is somehow white people's fault and they should feel guilty about it.
The presentation was by two dark-skinned ladies with unpronounceable first and last names.
The first slide was their names, photos and the pronouns they prefer to be referred to by.
Next, they showed a slide with the photos of around 12 African-American men who they claimed had been unjustly killed by US law-enforcement.
Honestly, you could be forgiven for thinking it was the mug shots of America's most wanted felons.
At this point, I exited the meeting since it seemed political and nothing to do with "Health Equity".

That’s clear, and he knows the reaction he’s going to get, leading me to suspect he’s either stupid or on some kind of warped wind up mission. Either way he’s a c**t.

fuck it. I made a vow never to block anyone but I'll make an exception for this dirty c**t.
Should have done it the first time he pissed me off which was when he was taking the piss out of Manchester bombing victims.

Yep. It's an unpleasant place to be a part of at the moment, and that's not just down to the likes of Gazolba.

Cases up, deaths still at 200+. Public distracted into stupid culture war rubbish about tv sitcoms and statues. This is an outrage.

No, reporting of that figure has been 'temporarily paused to ensure consistent reporting' for weeks now. If they can't come up with a way to fiddle the figures they just don't let you have any information at all

So infections up to 1500 as we approach the 2 weeks from the weekend everyone decided to go out. The 29-31/5

so when people blame the black live matters ignore them there’s a lag on infections.

I can only see us inching back over 2000 we really are halfwits

I remember the good old days when we had more deaths than the EU. We’ve now got more deaths that all of Asia, Africa, Central America and Oceania combined.

One thing since coronavirus is the time it takes to get into shops so I tend to phone up first and see what they say.

So I phoned up B&Q and asked how big the queue is.

The just turned around and said: 'Just check the sign, it's the same size as the B!'

Everything here has been fully opened up for a couple of weeks now, got to say the UK situation is very worrying. From a personal perspective not being able to go and visit my parents (later 60s) or see my nephew on his first birthday is really starting to get to me - I dont think I will see them until Christmas.

This is a disgrace. Also note that Van Tam hasn't appeared since he said the rules apply to all.

Also it appears that the government removed the recommendations from the report on the impact of Covid on BAME. 69 pages!
