Another shambles with our 'world beating' test and trace system!

But it doesn't matter how good or bad a system is, they cannot force people to use it and comply. Look at Maesteg.
They could have routine and comprehensive testing at airports, even if only for flights from countries on the quarantine list. Other countries do that. There is a cost to it, and it needs organisation (are you listening Dido?), but it would mean only people with positive tests have to quarantine. The economic and social benefits of that would dwarf the costs. The government's arguments against that approach are pathetic.

Almost up to 2k new cases a day now - 1,940 today despite there being less tests done in the last week.
Nearly 3000 new cases.

There was a paper just published that tended to suggest that in places like Blackburn/Manchester there was no spike in cases, but in fact the rate had never declined. The drop in national numbers had just masked the fact that these areas had not benefited at all from the lock down.
Of course these are all areas of dense low income populations and multi age families living together. So it accentuates the need for a different way of dealing with the problem
I think if my maths are correct, that this is the first time when there were proportionately more cases in Wales than England
How many cases were there in Wales and any idea where most of them were?
If the quotes in this article are correct, testing in our "world beating" system which was supposed to have been sorted out in September is a shambles;-

These rises have got to be a lot to do with the amount of testing though surely? Lots of workplaces are conducting private testing, I'm getting tested every week myself and my industry is testing thousands every week, makes sense that cases are going up
I don't know to be honest, I was assuming any positives that turn up in my industry (like Robert Pattison testing positive on Batman the other day) would be counted as part of the official numbers of cases, which might account for some of the uptick when you factor in all the other industries doing private testing as well
Im sure its partly to testing but its almost certainly becoming more widespread as well.
Rhondda Mobile Testing Centre to open.
