So

33 people tested positive who had all been in one pub on the same evening. Probably chugging bing off the same cistern.

So I think it’s highly likely. In my opinion.

An if the average UK household is 4.5 people and we've 33 individuals testing positive, there's a potential for almost 150 cases.
Those 150 people will meet how many other people before realising they've already got it?

And that is how you go from 20 cases per 100k to 130 cases per 100k in the blink of an eye.

Last week when the relaxing of restrictions was stopped it was down to people visiting other households, this week it’s pubs. If the track and trace is accurate. I guess it will change regularly.

It's increased contact in enclosed spaces over long periods of time.

Some Ethnic communities drive this because they have multi generational households.

Some low income families drive this because they have relatively small houses and large families.

Some pub goers drive this because they gather indoors in large groups to get intoxicated for several hours.

If you're inside with loads of others for ages, your probability of catching it goes up.

Throw in those  who don't distance/quarantine/wear a mask/ for whatever reason and the probability goes up higher. It's maths.

If folk stick to the guidlines, probability drops.

I was “Con’s” apprentice at Horwich Loco Works and we used our British Railways Privilege Pass for free travel to away games. He talked about this appearing on Sweeny. Fairly sure it was Oxford.

Bolton has gone from 19 cases a  couple of weeks ago to 133, the highest rate in the country,  Hancock said in Parliament it was due to 18-29 year olds going in pubs, if you want to believe that that’s ok.

If you think that’s a little unlikely form your own opinion 

Whilst not the only issue, how do you explain that cases of 19-25 year old are increasing rapidly, whilst going down in older groups? 

Its not just going into pubs, at that age you are out more and generally have a wider circle of friends and mix with more friends of friends. So whatever you are doing, you'll tend to be able to spread it further and faster. I know that Freshers Flu was definitely a thing at Uni - have of thw campus would be ill with a bug within a couple of weeks.

Never mind what we think and what our own opinions are.

Please share what your opinion/theory is.  You obviously have one, so spit it out.

I think its just his class - might even just be his 'bubble' as they all have a group of five kids who they can mix with in their class so make sure if there is one case they are not closing everything.

A Whole yr, 200 kids, were sent home for a fortnight, from the school next door to the one my lads go to.

 A lad went in on Thursday and Friday, got symptoms over the weekend and tested positive.

Going to happen a lot for the next few months I fear.

What all this data doesn’t tell, and likely never will, is that all deaths with covid  was a covid death. Doctors were instructed that death due to Covid19 didn’t require autopsy and thus the chance to find a cause of death other than covid.

Many ‘newsworthy’ stories in the very early part of the pandemic in UK talked of 80 year old folk dying. One was 104 who died of Covid19 when admitted to hospital. It went down as a covid death. I mean, a 104 year old with or without the addition of Covid19 wasn’t going to live too much longer.

Now that this anomaly has been sorted it’s always going to skew the figures when comparing the then and now figures.

But the bit that’s not being made clear is that if your grandson has siblings then they shouldn’t be going to school either... 

or parents going to work.

isolation is for the household, not for the kid originally sent home.

or maybe I’ve got it wrong.

Comparisons of case fatality rate is only accurate if you know how many cases you have.

Everyone missed shit loads at the beginning.

The Covid symptom study run by ZOE, with 4 million participants reckons we had over 100k folk showing symptoms of infection,  per day at the peak, yet we were only capturing 6k at the time.

Nope. I thought this too, but reading the guidance thoroughly yesterday. 
 

The rule is, if someone in your household is self isolating due to contact with a positive case, the rest of the household doesn’t have to unless they develop symptoms or test positive. But social distancing and handwashing, cleaning of surface etc should be followed.
