COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[crooky]

I am calling BS on the death figures. If you go on the web site and input our post code, DL15, it tells you 2 deaths in Crook & Tow Law. Now I know of 3 people from our estate who have died from the virus. Now those figures may not be huge but multiply this nationally. And that is just people I know of who have passed.

Which website is that? Thanks.

Aldi staff have just told me to bunch up a bit & let people put their food on the conveyor, that would have meant there were 4 us in a space of about 6 feet, when i refused they said " don't be daft".
Praise the Lord and Boris Johnson, we don't have to isolate anymore and it's all over.
Great stuff, i'm so happy, off to visit all my family

So the Government didn’t want NHS Trusts to buy PPE in bulk.

Ha ha, the other week at my local Aldi I inadvertently let my trolley go a few cms over the line and the checkout girl instantly told me to move back!

Wonder if we'll end up with someone appearing in 20 years time who hadn't realised the lockdown was over ? A bit like the Japanese soldier that surrendered in 1974.

Why not? We’ve got guys on here who will still be arguing about the Brexit referendum.

You need to look at seven day rolling average rather than daily figures. Definitely on a downward trend.

good to know

And the problem with that is?
Stocks need to be flexible and across the whole country or a region.

I was sharing information. Some posters saw it as the responsibility of audits to solve the PPE problems. The central coordination was to reduce competition and to aim to get better value for money.

106k tests carried out on 64k people yesterday.

Assume the majority of people are being tested twice to provide increased certainty over the result - is there a rough % figure on how accurate the tests are?

Yeah, 10% accurate.

(I’ll copy the example set by others and make up some numbers.)
