Pity no press conference today the governmemt could set the media right and stop them posting today as another disaster.

Why on earth do they never promote the positivity numbers? I just don't get it.

People see cases up by a few thousand and think that is a worrying day.

They are not going to know why it matters that they are from three quarters of a million tests.

That stunning positivity number tells you this instantly.

As does its track over the last week or two. Down Down Down.

How can Boris and co not see this?

people relax as soon as it's a sign of good news. pretty obvious why they have to stress and highlight how bad it is.
 
Todays testing numbers are the highest ever in the UK at over 818,000 of all types (I only use the pillar 1 and 2 totals) and yet we find 9000 fewer cases than we did last Thursday when there were 176, 000 fewer tests.

Things certainly look better if you know that than just - cases went up 3372 since yesterday.

we really need to start seeing some of this exit plan now out of lockdown.

Not really sure we do just yet to be honest. 25k-ish per day is still a ridiculously high amount, we're just desensitised to it. Let's be looking at much lower before that really. Bit of perspective - Australia have had 28,000 cases TOTAL over this pandemic. We had that today. Let's be a bit calmer and get out of it properly. We're far, far from close to being out of the woods.

Edit - and besides, we have a plan which I think we all know. Vaccinate, see figures dead low, crack on.

im not saying we release everything now

Christ boris is even saying he isn’t opening the schools until at the earliest 8 March but if cases keep falling 20% week on week then the least they can do is provide a roadmap out of it.

you know important stuff like when I can play golf again.

Know we don't
We need to keep on driving this disease down to virtual extinction.
They have tried the rushed approach twice, and we are back to square one, another 2 months of suppression and vaccination should finally get the country free, and allow us all some normality.

dont confuse me wanting to have an exit plan out of lockdown with me wanting mass raves tonight

schools aren’t opening for at least another 6 weeks so nothings going to open up quickly. I think to give people hope it would be nice to see the plan and the hurdles that need to be reached .
