All these new cases around Europe, Asia, USA, India a few here but none reporting the high death toll like before. Is the virus strain getting weaker like some have alluded to? Are we just better at treating it or is it hitting a different demographic now who just dont get hospitalised? Be nice to know, Particularly for those still sort of shielding, are people still doing it?

Scotland puts 14 day quarantine on travellers from Greece.
It was suggested that the virus is beinga. less agressive because it doesn't want it's host to die because then it will die itself, and b. maybe following on from that it seems to be infecting a younger age group who don't have such severe reaction to it.
I commented some time ago about the death rate nor really rising, I just hope that scientists and politicians do not start to be less aggressive in dealing with it because it is apparently less dangerous.
Big increase in people going for tests in S Wales today but no one seems to know if there is a specific reason.
I wonder if it's teachers getting tested before they go back into the classroom?

Another shambles with our 'world beating' test and trace system!

But it doesn't matter how good or bad a system is, they cannot force people to use it and comply. Look at Maesteg.
They could have routine and comprehensive testing at airports, even if only for flights from countries on the quarantine list. Other countries do that. There is a cost to it, and it needs organisation (are you listening Dido?), but it would mean only people with positive tests have to quarantine. The economic and social benefits of that would dwarf the costs. The government's arguments against that approach are pathetic.
Temporary walk in appointments to be set up in Caerphilly.

Almost up to 2k new cases a day now - 1,940 today despite there being less tests done in the last week.
Nearly 3000 new cases.

There was a paper just published that tended to suggest that in places like Blackburn/Manchester there was no spike in cases, but in fact the rate had never declined. The drop in national numbers had just masked the fact that these areas had not benefited at all from the lock down.
Of course these are all areas of dense low income populations and multi age families living together. So it accentuates the need for a different way of dealing with the problem
I think if my maths are correct, that this is the first time when there were proportionately more cases in Wales than England
How many cases were there in Wales and any idea where most of them were?
If the quotes in this article are correct, testing in our "world beating" system which was supposed to have been sorted out in September is a shambles;-
