It is worth noting that NW is falling, most of the other north and Midlands regions are not going up much if at all and the biggest areas of increase are in the South East, South West and Wales.~
And the South West and Wales were the focus of that massive screw up that we have heard little about since where people who had Covid got wrong results given. At first I assumed there was just a lot of retesting going on to catch the cases the labs messed up. But it looks now as if the wrong results have maybe fed into a wave there as I assume people who thought they were Covid free went forth and multiplied the virus.
We need to learn more on what happened. Has anyone seen an actual investigation?
This plus the clearly needless delay over not innoculating the schoolkids until they went back to school which we saw in here as a massive error as they were dithering appears to be two factors in why we are close to being isolated from the rest of the world this winter in a kind of externally imposed lockdown.
This is either going to fizzle out in the next 2 or 3 weeks or it is going to be obvious another error was made on delaying whatever measures will now need to be taken if we get to whatever hospital numer they do not want to accept.
And they need to kick on with the booster jab. Though I note they HAVE at last taken down that message telling people to let the NHS staff go first which was up there until yesterday. And I mentioned a couple of days ago in here as it was clearly a bad error to leave it there way beynd when it shoyuld have. It only seems to have been taken down when someone called the radio and reported it on air!
Our Covid policy should not be down to the public pointing out errors before someone running the show actually looks and acts themselves.
