Coronavirus Disease Outbreak COVID-19 #56

[Vickster2110]

From what I understood if you have a negative test result there is no need to continue to isolate, only if she has/develops symptoms.

Hi this is my first post my dad had a test a week gone Sunday, I had been at his on the friday....his result came back positive Monday morning so I informed my work who wrongly (didn't know this at the time) sent me for a test.....I had to get my son out of school to isolate whilst I waited for the results, in the mean time I was contacted by track and trace and told regardless of any test results I and my dads other close contacts had to isolate for 14 days from the last contact, and only to get re-tested if any of us developed symptoms.......my sister has had 2 negative tests whilst isolating and she still has to stay in for 14 days as you can still develop symptoms up until then xx

I'm in west Yorkshire. What is the difference between 2 and 3 other than pubs closing?

The main one is no mixing of households in any setting other than large open spaces like parks. Places such as casinos, soft play, betting shops to close. Some things are left up to the local areas to decide. Advised not to travel outside the local area except for work etc.

According to the Telegraph the country could end up with a financial deficit approaching £400bn for this current financial year, most of it due to the pandemic and falling tax revenues. This £400bn is now part of the £2 trillion national debt (a new first for the country).

The Great Depression of the late 1920s early 30s, will seem like a walk in the park when this pandemic ends (if it ever does!)

I saw a virologist say that even if we get a vaccine, it can't be relied on to end this. He think covid will always be around, like the flu, and it is something the public and governments are going to have to get used to. The best thing that could happen is that it mutates and gets weaker.

I think we will all end up in a form of lockdown eventually but that they will do it area by area until we are all or nearly all T3.

And then maybe in some areas they will modify T3 if numbers don’t lower or introduce T4 to include restaurants/non essential retail and school closures.

I'm beginning to think that we won't get a lockdown/circuit breaker. Boris seems pretty insistent that it's not even on the radar.

I’m beginning to think this too, so hoping it’s the case!

Agreed - I think they’ll probably do one of those suggestions.

Not far off France again they now have 2000 people in ICU

I dunno, the more Boris repeats something the less true it usually is

How many years is that going to take

Almost every single area of the country will be in tier 3 or 4 and because they are technically local restrictions he can be like ~see no national lockdown~

So the question is how much of the country needs to be under local lockdown before it is actually national?

Just here to again point out that today’s case numbers don’t reflect the last 24 hrs. Cases by specimen date seem to be levelling off

Or he will leave out some tiny southern county on T2 (probs a Tory stronghold) and be like see? It’s regional not national

Everything in Scotland is staying the same until the 2nd of November now, which is a week longer than was initially said. Then we move to a five tier system with the top tier being more severe than England's tier 3 because the scientists said that wasn't enough to sort the situation.

‘My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive.’ –Boris Johnson, on becoming Prime Minister (2016)

I don’t trust him

Good news for whoever's managed to get any of that £400bn because I've certainly not had a penny.

I guess the lion's share of it went to Serco and a bunch of those companies with no accounts or trading history but were still able to be given multi-million contracts to supply "PPE" or "ventilators".

Yes, my daughter had a test on Monday, the result came back yesterday as inconclusive!!!!

I hadn't realised this was another glitch to the system.

I wish someone would polish the green seats behind Boris. The dust looks dreadful.

If they're clean next week, then we'll know ministers read this forum

Lots in Exeter for Monday (12th) came back as unable to be read or didn't come back at all. People have said they have been retested as advised and still waiting for their results

My friends been waiting 9 days for a result only to get back that it's inconclusive. Thank duck we have this world beating system in place

I am on the train home and there is a woman talking about how her boyfriend who she lives with has tested POSITIVE and she is on the bleeping train - no wonder we are in such a mess when people who live with positive cases are out and about talking about it publicly I am so angry
