Maybe it is ,I just caught it on the radio ..
3105 in positive cases today according to Sky news.
27 deaths and a rise in hospital cases over 100 on ventilation
Just read the local news for the city that my daughter is moving to and there has been a whole school year isolation in that area too today, so that's one in Staffordshire and one in Warwickshire in the same day 
Part of the problem with kids is the cough part is so vague. Consistent/persistent yep got that no worries. But what the duck is a coughing episode? Having called 111 five times trying to clarify I’m still no clearer. I kept my son off and got him tested so my conscience is clear. But there are kids in school that I’m sure only have a standard sniffle/cough but is it an episode of coughing, who the duck knows?
Yeah I‘ve noticed that too, yesterday 884 in hospital and 79 on ventilation, today it’s 972 in hospital and 106 on ventilation. I care for my dad who’s 76 and has dementia so that’s why I’ve been keeping an eye on those figures, I think I’ve made the right decision about going for redundancy at work, I can’t cope with the pressure/anxiety of potentially taking it home (I work in retail). On a plus I think I’ve found a home study diploma course I want to do
This is what my school have advised in terms of coughing; A new continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough it may be worse than usual).
So the suspected case is in my daughters class. Kid got sent home coughing. I am freaking out as my daughter sits next to said child in a few subjects. Is this our life now? Panicking because someone coughed near my child!
Yes Deffs a rise ..that's great you've found something to keep you focused it can be lonely caring for someone xYeah I‘ve noticed that too, yesterday 884 in hospital and 79 on ventilation, today it’s 972 in hospital and 106 on ventilation.

Theres a secondary school royal wooten basset where whole year group sent home.

Thats just a few counties in South west dread to think how many kids are home isolating whilst government saying schools are open.
There be whole year groups and individual kids.
I hear locally some schools any child with a cough sent home and asked to test.
Might be less school outbreak news this week as hardly anyone can test.
Im concerned about rationing of tests what matt the wanker called prioritization.
Will it return to just keyworkers abd carehomes and restrict community testing.
The problem with chasing spikes and deploying tests to other areas is the areas they abandoned then spike and they have no idea.
Apart from devon most areas south west been unable to test or expected travel to Wales.

Those numbers sound horrific and I really do hope they don’t keep increasing.Yeah I‘ve noticed that too, yesterday 884 in hospital and 79 on ventilation, today it’s 972 in hospital and 106 on ventilation. I care for my dad who’s 76 and has dementia so that’s why I’ve been keeping an eye on those figures, I think I’ve made the right decision about going for redundancy at work, I can’t cope with the pressure/anxiety of potentially taking it home (I work in retail). On a plus I think I’ve found a home study diploma course I want to do
But just to put those numbers into perspective, there’s 141,000 beds in the NHS and 900 as a percentage is 0.63%.
It sounds high but it’s manageable.
Also at the peak there were over 17000 in hospital. Whilst the numbers are growing we are not anywhere near where we were in March/April.
The whole of year 7 at a school in west kent have also been sent home and several children at my daughters school sent for testing as they all travel on the same bus 
Like someone said earlier ,if they’ve got the staff to manage them ,the longer the mess with the testing continues the less likely that’s going to be,cases will increase staff will be isolating...the
will hit the fan@Oohthedrama the whole Irish cabinet is isolating Stephen has fallen ill. you couldn’t write it

A really interesting article. At first I did side-eye the headline but after reading the full thing, it makes sense. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-...-giving-people-covid-19-immunity-researchers/
This is what is pissing me off. Because of all the incompetency around the testing there will potentially be a big drop in staffing levels within the NHS - people are still having babies, cancer treatment, cardiology etc. We need sufficient staffing levels within ALL elements of the health service or yet more people will needlessly die.Like someone said earlier ,if they’ve got the staff to manage them ,the longer the mess with the testing continues the less likely that’s going to be,cases will increase staff will be isolating...the

There will end up with people taking to the streets to protest about the utter shambles of the testing.
Probably the biggest fck up of the whole pandemic and the most costly..I can’t believe his attitude today, you’d have thought he was ordering a coffee
The people running this country are clowns!
Ive always had so much faith in then and been proud to live in the UK but Jesus wept!! This tit show has taught me better!
It was pretty obvious to the average joe that schools etc returning would mean an increase in infection and higher demand for tests!!!!!
why did they not see this?!
