Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

Is there any danger of you ever posting anything positive about this virus? I get the impression you won’t be happy until 1000 people a day are dying again, just so you. Can say “I told you so”

Not when things like I described are happening, no I can't.

Also, I may be a lot of things, but one thing I'm not, and never have been, is an "I told you so" merchant, - there's more than enough of them around already. If I'm right, I'm right and if I'm wrong, I'm wrong - people will make their own minds up without me blowing my own trumpet.

Re: Coronavirus update

I get that, but there are good stories and little bits of hope out there which you seem to studiously refrain from ever posting.

Re: Coronavirus update

The NHS people complaining about these test centres fail to mention the fact that they are run by the NHS. Abercynon and Cardiff are each doing about 1000 tests daily and Cwm are doing 6-700.
If they want more tests available in specific areas they can set up more test centers or send away teams to hot spots.
The away team sitting in Cardiff center are going nowhere just because the NHS trust running it will not give it any instructions to go anywhere.

Bobs a lefty so he will always have a pop, which is fine of course. They’ve done a pretty shocking job but any party would have.
I’m sure bob would post about no deaths in Wales in September, very few in August and the fact the Heath has no Covid patients....

Re: Coronavirus update

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.

Looks like it's on its way.

Re: Coronavirus update

No deaths now since August....on a positive note....if that’s allowed

Yeah it definitely seems to have become less deadly - unless its just now its circulating in people in their 20s who've been out socialising, whereas previously it was running rampant in nursing homes

Genuine question... where are all of these staff coming from for the new test centers (and the staff required to actually run these tests at the lab)?

Now if I were looking to score party political points (heaven forbid!), I could say that all of those good news stories relate to NHS Wales which, as the UK Government never cease to tell is when something goes wrong with it, is run by the Welsh Government. On the other hand, I believe that the running and administration of testing centres and the test and trace system in England and Wales is the responsibility of the UK Government - xsnaggle went off on one as if I was being critical of those who work in test centres, I wouldn't do that - it looks to me as if the administration of them is the problem.

I can't see any reason why any party would have to had performed as badly as this current shower of shit. Just take a look at how the Scottish and our own administration's have performed so much better than Johnson and his little team of dopes, and that's without possessing plenary powers and attempting to break international law.

Lots of the staff are students which are about to return to their Universities and Colleges.

I think you are incorrect. Both the Scottish and Welsh Administrations rely almost exclusively on the "little team of dopes" to provide scientific and medical advice. All that has happened is that the Scots and Welsh have put their own spin on the information which, in the case of Scotland in particular, is politically driven and is as much about conveying an image of independence as much as anything else. However, I agree the test and trace arrangements are farcical. I live in Devon; people are being told to go 20 miles for a test but then discover Swansea is 20 miles by sea but a 300 miles round trip by road. It's a joke.

This is interesting from a legal standpoint..
