    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?

    people also seem to live on the same street as their extended family far more that in Cardiff.

    Yes. Family and friends live close together.

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

    That claim. It's bollocks.

    Yes. Also ive noticed areas in the Cynon Valley with a higher proportion of terraced houses seem to have a higher rate. Loads of families who more or less live next door to each other.

    Additionally the average age in most valleys towns is significantly higher than in Cardiff, not including places like treforest.

    Thinking you won’t have it because you wore a mask makes me think you don’t really understand it. And unless you drank your coffee through it you really don’t understand it.
    It amazes me how dull people are about mask wearing. I think half of them honestly believe it is to stop someone else giving it to them. Pull up at a traffic light and the person next to you in their car all alone is wearing a mask, with all the windows up . What do they honestly think they're achieving? I was up the valleys the other day and saw a woman walking her dog. There wasn't another soul, or even a house within half a mile of her but she was wearing a mask. And you see that time after time.
    I understand better safe than sorry but shirley they know someone who can put them tight?

    Why form such strong opinions without trying to understand something first?

    I got a random notification a few weeks ago and when I clicked into the app nothing. So I googled it and it said it was a glitch based on how the app was interacting with the phone's software.

    It's not ideal but surely anyone getting anything like this is going to double check before isolating.
    If you scan into a place like I scan into my local the app keeps a record and if someone then reports a positive test and their app shows they have been in my local then the app tells me someone has been in the same place as me within the time frame (48 hrs) but it doesn't require any action. It only requires action if the positive testing person, when contacted says, "I sat int he pub with Xsnaggle for half an hour yesterday" and if that happens I will receive a phone call telling me what to do.

    I am more inclined to criticise those who don't wear masks. What annoys me is those people who wear a mask getting onto a bus but as soon as they get on either remove it or wear it around their chins.

    Another farce which only makes it harder for the public to have faith in "the science".

    A chart shown on Saturday's Prime Ministerial briefing which claimed there could be 1,500 deaths a day next month, has now been downgraded to a 1,000 a day - still bad, but how can you have any faith in the new figure?

    Yes, I guess the big thing will be how quickly the new cases line begins to drop. If it drops suddenly then great, but I can't see it somehow

    So why do they take our contact details ? The above is a summary of what's on the Govt. webpages. Oh, and if you reply, try and be polite..

    If they are not listening, what difference would it make.

    But Mr Drakeford has already said there will be no more local lockdowns here in Wales! So if they don't listen maybe we'll all be locked down.

    Contact details are taken as a person who has tested positive will be asked by contact tracers who they have recently been in contact with and where they have been. Recent is the 2 days before getting symptoms onwards.

    If they say they were in that cafe and at a time they were at risk of passing it on the cafe will have your details. You can then be contacted if you were in close contact of that person.

    Your post sorry was completely inaccurate.
