I take it you are refering to test and trace?

If so I’m sure that one off payment really helps...

Wales cases today 627 (v 576 last week).

 

[Healdplace]

Northern Ireland - some relief 0 deaths v 1 last week

But 902 cases v 726

Rolling weekly case average is now 5475

Of these 119 are over 80, 556 are 60 - 79 = 675 so over 12%

Other ages are 1610 aged 40 - 59 and 2258 aged 20 - 39. The rest are under 20.

Hospital patients 134 up 2 on yesterday v 65 last week

Ventilators 11 v 10 yesterday and 9 last week

 

[Healdplace]

So total three nations cases without England are 2536 (v 2066 last week).

And the UK hospital death number is 87 - by some way the most in months v 51 last week.

That became 49 in all settings. We could sadly top the 100 all settings deaths today.

many courses cant be done online

They could have been put online , all courses could have been covered , that is what remote learning is about, they were sent back to uni for ' the uni experience' herd immunity is the plan and it has worked , i just hope they havent spread it to the less healthy


Had my flu jab today , there were masses of us and the surgery had a brilliant system , ran like clockwork and no groups forming , hand sanitiser on the door , everyone had to be masked , one way system , brilliant , arm aching but that is it

WHO urging governments not to use lockdowns

If the public dont stick to the rules then what can they do ??

Pelosi delaying oxford vaccine in USA just to spite Trump. Disgraceful.

The FDA say no vaccine till after the election , rushing it for political reasons is ethically wrong and not safe

Indeed it is

And approaching 12% again over 65 testing positive. Double what it was until recently which must be a factor in the rapid increase in hospital numbers.
