Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[the other bob wilson]

Only 4 deaths today, and the numbers are usually higher on a Tuesday as they're catching up from the weekend - could that be a tentative sign that the lockdown is starting to work?

I'd say the new cases figure of just over 1,100, while not great, may be a sign of encouragement. As you say, Tuesday isn't normally a good day for the stats, so that figure may be a sign that things are improving, but it'd need two or three days of similar figures before any conclusions could be drawn. Four deaths is good by recent standards, but that figure would be the last one to start showing any firebreak influence and I fear it'll be something of a one off.

Are the two that tested positive poorly? And was Mrs SP poorly resulting her in needing a test?

I hope they are all OK

Her sister’s neighbour and grandchildren had it (yet her husband tested negative?), the husband is disabled so my sister in law helps out. Because of the positive tests next door she had a postal test, which came back positive today, she hasn’t been unwell. The friend, who my missus goes on a daily walk with, is a care worker and a colleague she works with tested positive on Monday, so she was advised to have a test despite not feeling unwell, test positive. Even though they walk apart and in the open air my missus decided to have a test for piece of mind, result negative. Very quick getting the test, applied yesterday morning, was offered three time slots and went down the City at half twelve yesterday and received the result half twelve today, very well organised and prompt. I must admit she’s quite smug tonight, while the other two are well pissed off.
