So yet again incorrect information being put out by official bodies as on there it quite clearly states you only get a test if you have symptoms.

No wonder people are confused as to what they are supposed to do.

Well no as research tests fall outside of that advice obviously

Having told everyone to go to the pub, eat out to help out and get back to the office they're now blaming young people for the rise in positive test results as they've been going to pubs, restaurants and offices.

Hancock has also been doing the rounds saying there's an issue that young people can be infected and not realise as they are asymptomatic but can pass it on to others. Yet when people were raising this as an issue with opening schools and universities it was dismissed as a non-issue.

Well no they are the biggest rising group and oddly people outside that group also are going to the pub, eating to help and actually working so its the disregard while in an external environment that is surely the issue here - aren't schools open across Europe now?

Coronavirus: Government apologises over tests shortage

A director of the government's test and trace scheme in England says lab capacity is the issue.

Put in steps so you don’t have to travel more than 75 miles for a test!!!!!!!!!

They will be expected to isolate along with anyone who's been close for a length of time won't they .
I was thinking that fans would almost certainly be back by late October but not so convinced now .
Everyone is majoring on the young and 1M students going back to Uni, College etc.

They had to postpone games in Scotland but the season still carried on.
However if it happens here the fixture congestion could get ridiculous

UKHSA data dashboard

Showing public health data across England
coronavirus.data.gov.uk

The front page is only showing hospital admission data as at 26 August, I wondered why the figure was static. That number has definitely increased. The numbers on ventilators fluctuates a fair bit though but is back up today.

It's been reported that if Johnson had died of Covid Raab would have become PM.
What a fucking joke this country is becoming. One totally useless c**t replaced by an even bigger one.

How on earth do you decide which one of them pair is the biggest c**t. It’s an oxymoron of being told to pick which one of your children is your favourite.

Gatherings of more than six people will be banned from Monday: Boris Johnson launches new coronavirus crackdown across ALL of England with limit on meeting indoors and outdoors - but weddings and funerals exempt

Don’t think we will be back watching city at St. Andrews anytime soon

I think / know they've brought in some consultancies to try and get it fixed. The whole idea is flawed. Should have given the money to local authority public health teams. They do contact tracing all of the time (sexual health)

Reading the reports you can still go to the pub with up to 6 friends? If so what does it actually achieve?

Yet since they suddenly changed the daily figures from the number of tests done to test capacity to try and fudge the fact they were way below the promised numbers we've been told there's masses of unused capacity every day.

Also if the issue is lab capacity and not the actual tests why are people being sent hours away, surely you'd do they tests locally and ship them all off overnight?

Once again what we're being told doesn't seem to match what we are seeing happening.
