Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

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

The official figures showed a drop in the number of tests last week - does the sort of testing your company is doing appear on them I wonder? Presumably they do.

Re: Coronavirus update

Should have said. 25 Caerphilly, 23 Rhondda, 10 Cardiff

Thanks John, not encouraging is it.

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

Latest school today in Cardiff. The figures will just go up and up this week I fear.
What a headache this all is.
Can’t see us being able to watch any live football this season at all at this rate.

Teachers really need to be more careful with what they do outside school nowadays

Re: Coronavirus update

Looking for a bit of advice, can’t find any guidance online, my wife is a teacher and one of her pupils who shes seen for 3 days last week was showing symptoms this morning and has a covid test. No result yet, but if positive she has to self isolate for 14 days, does that include me or do I need to wait til any symptoms? (Hopefully none) thanks

I think this would apply.

I presume it would be the same as if she was contact traced.

You wouldnt need to isolate. Unless she develops symptoms.

England ban on social groups over 6 people. Basically no house parties as all leisure, work and school facilities to stay open.
How they’ll police pubs and restaurants with people congregating who knows.
With the latest happenings in Caerphilly, and RCT only days away from following the same restrictions - pretty sure Wales as a whole will follow suit.

The article you quote says "The AstraZeneca vaccine trials have been halted after the drug gave adverse reaction to a trial participant in the UK". Presumably this is just one participant out of thousands? It seems a bit dramatic to halt the whole trial - I guess it must have been a severe adverse reaction?

As these new outbreaks become more frequent and the many will be penalised/inconvenienced by the stupidity of the few I think there will be a trend towards Joe Public reporting incidents to the police along the lines of CrimeStoppers. Whether the police have the manpower to act on all the tip-offs is debatable of course.

there will be predetermined acceptance criteria for the trial, and you have to consider that one adverse reaction in however many vaccines they've trialled so far could scale up to a lot when. you roll it out to millions of people
