Coronavirus: Major disruption to cancer care revealed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52985446

I read somewhere a few weeks ago that there could be up to 15k excess cancer deaths next year due to delayed treatments this year

That's only this thread as well, there were plenty of others, which were probably much more relevant, but only this one has lasted the distance for some reason

The word 'update' may be a clue!

Re: Coronavirus update

you would hope someone is advising him, at one stage Jones had more advisors than the PM, but in fairness I think they were culled somewhat. As for the medical advice only this morning Mr Drakeford commented on the help they get from SAGE and how without it things would have been more difficult, so it would seem the advice to him and boJo would be largely the same.

There’s a difference in opinion on what needs to be done then or perhaps the rates of infection and other socio economic factors may be contributing to the differing speeds of coming out of lockdown?

I’d certainly hope a competent government would consider those factors no statistics.

Clearly! the science is the science but by its nature the final call is a political one every time! Scientists do not form policy and wouldn't even if you asked them.

Scientists do not form policy? So this following the science thing has been bullshit all along?

'England test and trace system identifies 31,000 contacts'

More than 31,000 close contacts were identified during the first week of the test and trace system in England, figures show.

Of those, 85% were reached and asked to self-isolate for 14 days.

This was from 8,000 people testing positive for coronavirus - two-thirds of whom provided details of who they had been close to.

Around 25,000 contact tracers were recruited in England and started work at the end of May.

The NHS figures, which cover 28 May to 3 June, are the first to be released showing the progress of England's contact tracing scheme

Those are pretty good numbers, to be fair.

On the other side, xsnaggle will be mighty pleased that the tracers would only have contacted 1.2 people (on avg.) each in that first week and that 24,999 of the tracers didn't go to the press and moan about it

I wondered what you were on about earlier when you mentioned Marmite... did I miss an earlier post or something?

Marmite is the one thing I have stockpiled. With brewing on hold it was obvious a Marmite crisis was on the way. I checked my various hiding places this morning and counted five unopened 500g jars. Should see me through for a few more weeks. Sorry - can't share!

Nah, strap 'em to the roof and chuck some elderly (preferably disabled) relatives in the back for good measure. You'll have 20-20 vision in no time.*
