Re: Coronavirus update

Lots in the valleys don't like being told what to do.

Does anyone? Do they want to be held responsible for potentially killing people? I don’t think so.....

Re: Coronavirus update

Exactly. As I understand it the person who tests positive and who is contacted must declare where they have been and the people with whom they have had close contact, defined I think as 2 meters or less for 15 minutes. It is only those people who would then be contacted and asked/told to self isolate.

The App isnt great at this though, Bluetooth wasnt really designed for judging distance

Nah, valleys mentality of believing that you're right about something even if facts show you haven't got a clue.

I'd also say that although there are terraced streets like the one I now live on in Cardiff, there are far more of them up here - people tend to live much closer to each other up here and I believe this makes it easier for the virus to spread, it cannot be a coincidence that the virus has been most prevalent in the poorest areas this autumn.

Re: Coronavirus update

Did I just hear that the virus has evolved into a different strain in Sweden, and jumped from animals to humans on a mink farm.

The vaccine that is going to save the world may just have become outmoded......

It happened in Spain last summer, they killed about 100,000 of them. For some reason they can catch it from humans and spread it....

Wasn’t there also a difference in the Spanish strain picked up by tourists and brought back here in August/September?

Yes. Family and friends live close together.

There is also far more of a community in the valleys than the City.

Re: Coronavirus update

What claim ?

"Absolutely no way we could have been infected at that place, yet if someone who went there within 14 days either side of when we went, gets symptoms, [almost certainly contracted from somewhere else], we will get a phone call instructing us both to stay indoors for 2 weeks and get people to drop of food etc."

That claim. It's bollocks.

Re: Coronavirus update

What's going to happen next?

England are going into a lockdown, so the Welsh lockdown will end come hell or high water.
