I assume this is the source. If so from a quick skim I'd say the DM have taken there typical liberties with its interpretation.

Interesting how they found closing schools had the biggest impact but there is still no evidence kids can pass it on.

thats one of those "there is no evidence" things because its so obvious it happens no one has actually bothered testing it yet.

I was being a cynic, and for different reasons it looks like I was right. Daily Mail fitting a story around their angle, who'd have thought hey :)

For those interested, better news from Italy than what the past couple of days had brought (see my post last night). 274 deaths in 24 hours, almost 100 down on yesterday's figure which had risen for the 3rd day in a row. New infections around the same as yesterday with a few more tests.

Extensive study by the University of East Anglia finds that other than stopping mass gatherings and closing schools the lockdown has had little effect

Just need the Bluemoon experts to set them straight please.

Not sure if a Care Home classifies as a mass gathering ot not?

Quick, get that in the positive news thread. We crave stuff like that down there and its just about to disappear onto page 2 as well!

To be honest I’m not sure there is a big difference in the UK message and the Scottish message earlier. Just more clarity and less room for doubt in the Scottish message.
