This is the lunacy.
See Gilmore nonsense from this week for more evidence.
Two England players deemed close contacts but no Scotland players.

Yes that’s what’s annoying. Seems different rules for different situations.

This was a phone call from the LEA so I assume that means it’s compulsory. Even her school think it’s lunacy. It’s a right pain though as my wife is a Teacher in a different school so needs to go in, meaning I have had to change my diary and will need to work from home. Fortunately my daughter is 10 and doesn’t need supervising with school work but I guess for the parent of a 5/6 year old, it’s a nightmare.

The school should only be asking staff to isolate if they meet the criteria for “close contact “ of the index case.

Yes that’s what’s annoying. Seems different rules for different situations.

• anyone who lives in the same household as another person who has COVID-19 symptoms or has tested positive for COVID-19
• anyone who has had any of the following types of contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19:
  • face-to-face contact including being coughed on or having a face-to-face conversation within one metre
  • been within one metre for one minute or longer without face-to-face contact
  • been within 2 metres of someone for more than 15 minutes (either as a one-off contact, or added up together over one day)

Got a call from kids after school club saying she has to self isolate due to a member of staff testing positive. However on the day she was there, the kids were outside and other than drop her bag inside and pick it up when going, she wasn’t indoors at all. She was there for 40 mins of which 39 were outside. She had no contact with the staff member. Does that seem a bit OTT? We have lateral flow tested her x 3 last 3 days and all negative but she has to isolate until next Sat! Seems a bit harsh to me.

I’d be ig it , just look at the Scotland England game

it’s a joke

If your wife hasn’t met any of these then she should be free to go to work .

That’s what they are doing in Singapore of all places. No longer reporting on daily cases

No, it's not.

It's what they say they *will* do later.

Bit of a difference.

GM Weekly Pop Data after today:~

Borough / Pop Today / 7 days ago / up or down wk to wk/ Testing is % of local population who have tested positive for Covid over past year.

As ever with Pop going up is bad, going down good - the higher the number the better or worse depending on direction moving. The Pop is total cases in past week versus 100,000 POPulation to even out the comparison versus size and expected cases based on numbers living there.


Manchester 448 / 356 / UP 92 Testing positive 11.2%

Salford 421 / 333 / UP 88 Testing positive 10.5%

Wigan 407 / 299 / UP 108 Testing positive 10. 1%

Bury 347 / 335 / UP 12 Testing positive 10.4%

Oldham 323 / 209 / UP 114 Testing positive 10.7%

Rochdale 321 / 235 / UP 86 Testing positive 10.7 %

Trafford 310 / 248 / UP 62 Testing positive 8.1 %

Tameside 305 / 206 / UP 99 Testing positive 9,0%

Bolton 272 / 249 / UP 23 Testing positive 11.6%

Stockport 240 / 194 / UP 46 Testing positive 8.1%


EVERY borough - even Bolton - is now UP week to week in Pop score numbers. Many by big numbers.

Wigan join Manchester and Salford in the 400s today well ahead and where Bolton was 6 weeks ago at the height of the arrival of the new variant in the NW.

Stockport and Bolton the two best boroughs (if 200 numbers are in any way best that is!) as every one eke in the 300s heading up. But Bury has the lowest week to week rise/

Tameside's high numbers took them over 300 in their Pop Score/

Trafford case numbers remain worse than Stockport and lost another huge chunk of its lead on overall Pop Score.

Stockport now on 8154 after the 'lowest' GM Pop Score rise in a while by anyone ('just' 25) and Trafford rose by 44 to 8093 cutting their once unassailable 200 point lead by that 19 difference in one go to just 61.

However, Bolton still has the highest GM Pop Score on 11, 572.

With Manchester rapidly catching up by another 56 today to 11, 229

Rochdale on 10, 743 and Oldham 10, 733 still pacing one another.

Salford rose to 10, 511 and Bury just behind on 10, 427.

Wigan went up by 60 to reach 10, 145.

So just Stockport and Trafford - both in the low 8000s for now - and Tameside a rung above in the 9000 club on 9041 are not alreasy in five figure Pop Score numbers.

Do you really think people should get their info during a pandemic from a football forum and a bloke who makes youtube videos?

Dr Campbell is a lot more than "a bloke who does Youtube videos." He is a recognised expert in his field and has called this pandemic correctly right from the start. He has been well ahead of the curve of official information put out by the government. And there are plenty of people on this forum who work in specialist jobs in the health and scientific sector.
I have family members and close friends who work in the NHS and the vaccines sector and have also taken information from scientific journals. I would trust the information on here well ahead of the tabloid media.

My wife doesn’t have to isolate. It’s my kid, but looks like they have just looked at the after school club list of kids that were there on one night and every one of them told to self isolate even if nowhere near the person who was tested positive. Wife will be going in as she teaches 30 five and six year olds so needs to go in. Means I have to work from home which involves a lot of diary juggling for me.
