Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Sorry?

I understood him perfectly.

Surprised more isn’t being made our (Scotland’s) paltry testing numbers. 1,205 puts us at 2.8% of the UK’s total for yesterday - can say goodbye to easing any restrictions with numbers like that.

I gave them a wee clap, and the guy in the passenger seat gave me a thumbs up. It gave me an enormous sense of wellbeing.

If I can get over the other hurdles I'll think of something

Could it be we are saving tests for when we do ease restrictions?

Unless there's a Boneyard Match, I'll be sceptical of this claim.

Way to ratchet up the stakes.

Booze ban in Thailand will come to and end on 1st May. Unless the government extend.

Well here we fucking go.  Talk is that there will be a grace of 2 days 1st and 2nd May to buy booze, as they think people will still gather if alcohol is on sale.  Therefore, 2 days will be ok to gather and panic buy (shops will be mobbed again). 

Shirley not, this idea is bat shit fucking mental.

So we would ease restrictions *and then* try to find out where the virus is and do contact tracing? 

Not testing people going into care homes from hospitals, nor the care staff, is mental if the capacity exists to test. If 1200 to 1500 is really all we can do as we head into May, there ought to be a lot more questions being asked than is currently the case.

What's the bottleneck with testing? Isn't it just a basic PCR or is it more complicated?

My brother and sister in law both went for tests on Sunday. She failed to even get tested as she found it impossible to keep her tongue out the way when they were trying to swab her tonsils, he needs to wait for 5 days for the results.

Think somebody nailed it further up the thread when they said that Hancock will start saying that the capability to carry out 100k tests per day is there, but people aren't going for the tests.

It's the easiest thing in the world to mock shit like this but it's an important human trait. Feeling connected to something bigger and more important, even in very small ways, is good for us.

Was the origins of the clapping thing from Italy? I hope it was started by ordinary people rather than an authority-led idea. But it doesn't matter, as people have taken it for themselves.

It should never be used to excuse or cover up the failings of preparation by those in charge. And it's perfectly reasonable, and I'd argue its actual normal, to both support the workers of the nhs and also be critical of mistakes made by the government.

So any family with someone travelling to work, or anyone over 65 in England can now get tested if they have symptoms. If these measures are not extended to Scotland asap there will be plenty questions to answer.
