Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday could be left for 'boo Scousers' days, i think the vast majority of the UK would come out in force & it would raise community spiritSo do I, but that clapping is ridiculous and looks a wierd. It's ultimately a hollow gesture that serves no purpose.
Let's make Tuesday at 8pm 'Boo China' if we're gonna do silly things on our doorstep.
Listen to the briefings,it was said only this week by one of the medics,not the modelling bit they advice but the gov decidesYeah yeah, whatever suits your narrative.
My missus does it, I don't, because I see some of those doing it and I know its a hollow gesture from many, like the drug taker in a flat opposite, yes we see him get regular deliveries, same format each time several times a week (could even be daily), he comes down to the entrance on his phone and waits, a car turns up (different car every time, though I'm sure they repeat), passenger window wound down, he chucks in some money, and picks up his packet, no contact (at least he social distances I guess), car drives away, he goes back inside. Of course it could be something innocent, but having seen him wandering about with his son, both off their faces, I think I'm fairly accurate, yet he doesn't miss the chance to show his appreciation.So do I, but that clapping is ridiculous and looks a wierd. It's ultimately a hollow gesture that serves no purpose.
More testing would be my guess.Has there been an explanation as to why our new cases today, is our second largest so far ?

Tests were at 85,000 I think up from just over 50,000, if positives weren’t much more it would mean we are testing the wrong people. So it’s probably a good thing.Has there been an explanation as to why our new cases today, is our second largest so far ?

They took a decision to stop testing in march ,that is on record the WHO shouted at us test,trace and isolate,at the start they did but that was Feb and start of march,they asked me if I had been in contact with anyone and I had to tell anyone I had been in close contact with so they could get tested,contact tracing to find people who had ir,not really random,we went away from what everyone else was doing,lost the chance to get ahead,there is no point saying any different,that is fact,boris did tell everyone he was still shaking hands and his dad said he would defy him and go to the pub,do you think the medics didn't tell him how serious this was.we were slow to react despite having time in hand to see what was unfolding,instead boris carried on like trump was at the same timeThat is so misrepresentative karen, its just a political dig, nothing else.
At the start of this, even with extremely small numbers, we had nowhere near the number of tests required so they focussed on the very ill (like you), should they have just random tested instead ? Of course not they focussed on testing those most in need, not even the NHS working with the seriously ill could get tests. Its only in the last 2 weeks we've got anywhere near enough testing capacity to test 'large' numbers, but even now its still not nearly enough.
Someone had better tell @denislawsbackheelProfessor of medicine at Oxford University on channel 4 news confident that his people will have a vaccine out by October

So also slightly worrying that the numbers are far higher than we think.Tests were at 85,000 I think up from just over 50,000, if positives weren’t much more it would mean we are testing the wrong people. So it’s probably a good thing.
Ocams razor.This knocking over a flask theory was doing the rounds in January via leaks from China. I find it quite convincing. From bats to the Lab to the market.
I don’t think so we know there are more infected than those 4000 we were finding, the more testing is designed to find more so we can track and isolate, the more we can do that when the numbers fall then we know we are getting on top of it.So also slightly worrying that the numbers are far higher than we think.
Interesting information on excess mortality in the economist. It shows who produces half weekly, weekly and monthly reports and the days they are published

Karen - We didnt have a medical testing industry. Germany and South Korea did. In fact South Korea built one as a result of their investigation report into SARS.They took a decision to stop testing in march ,that is on record the WHO shouted at us test,trace and isolate,at the start they did but that was Feb and start of march,they asked me if I had been in contact with anyone and I had to tell anyone I had been in close contact with so they could get tested,contact tracing to find people who had ir,not really random,we went away from what everyone else was doing,lost the chance to get ahead,there is no point saying any different,that is fact,boris did tell everyone he was still shaking hands and his dad said he would defy him and go to the pub,do you think the medics didn't tell him how serious this was.we were slow to react despite having time in hand to see what was unfolding,instead boris carried on like trump was at the same time
look you can read my posts from the start,i was supportive to most of it till we got to the mass gatherings but when I wasnt,the herd immunity was stupid,i was shouting protect the vulnerable,i was also supportive of hancock before and after his illness
I said many times I am glad it was the tories and not labour in charge,i was fair,i think boris was a fucking idiot bumbling about shaking hands,signalling this was not bad,i was glad he was out of the picture,not that that he was ill obvs,the others were much more commanding
This is not hindsight,i was saying this at the time as many were
He sounded more like a prime minister today so let's see
Perhaps what I should have said, is how woeful were the early numbers on confirmed cases.I don’t think so we know there are more infected than those 4000 we were finding, the more testing is designed to find more so we can track and isolate, the more we can do that when the numbers fall then we know we are getting on top of it.
