Maybe now we could

Weeks back, no, i dont they could

If theyd filled up the hosptals with old folks with low chances of survival while young uns were dying due to the lack of a bed, i wouldve said they got it wrong

Everything we did was to reduce the numbers needing hospital care

Otherwise, what was the point

they did it in China, they converted stadiums and buildings for coronavirus only and had over a dozen halfway house  temporary hospitals too - kept them apart from other patients and public - no idea if we could have done the same, goes back to the original point that we were a bit slow and ill prepared.

Testing 60k a day

Nice

But, maybe thats because people arent requesting tests

Was slightly facetiously in response to this question you posed re Cheltenham:

 

I think there's some truth to it though, a lot of the people there would be natural risk takers and no-one ever thinks it will happen to them until it does. 

 

 

 

If they put another Cheltenham on next week there'd be thousands there.

Well, very possibly

Im only disagreeing with the suggestion we were daft not to fill up the hospitals with aged cv sufferers

If we didnt care about filling up the beds we may as well have cracked on, imo

I'm still not sure why people get so excited about the volume of tests, ideally if you need a test, then you have to be tested everyday, until a vaccine appears don't you. Just because to test negative at 3pm, it doesn't mean you can't catch it 10 minutes later once you walk out of the test centre

I'd have thought, and hopefully we'll have one soon, that an antibody test is the only one that has any real merit

Testing 2k per day in Scotland. Just closed a new testing centre for that very reason as not enough for them to do.

If we can't find enough people to test now, why do we need to get to 200k by the end of the month?

What was it Starmer said last week - having a target isn't a strategy.

I agree that hospital wasn't the place for them. I just wonder, with hindsight admittedly, whether they could've been housed in commandeered hotels or similar?

East Stand Upper has been practising social distancing long before it became all the rage.

Once you have tracking in place idea should be to test everyone infected people have been in contact with. So with 4K or so new cases identified that will drive demand up. 
 

no idea why/how that bit is underlined. !

I know - loads of our clients were doing it in theatre as well. We could have ploughed on with 20% capacity!

Developed a sore throat this afternoon. Felt a bit knackered for a couple of days- could this be the lurgy?

You'll soon find out...

the first signs I got (not that I realised at the time what it was) was a wildly fluctuating temperature, extremes both ways, then followed by lack of smell and taste

Apparently you lose lack of feeling in the anal passage as well I’ve heard.  Shove a cucumber up your arse @Tonge moor green jacket and if it hurts you’ve not got the virus. 
 

if it slides up without hurting you’ve a story to tell us 😁

Brother-in-laws test results came back today (he was tested 8 days ago). He's tested Positive for Covid-19, with no symptoms whatsoever. Good news in a way.

They are overrun though. Over 100,000 tests a day and no spare testing capacity at all. I assume....?

Sore throat is uncommon. Falling knackered is common. Rest up mate, if you feel knackered tomorrow, do nothing. Get some vitamins and fluids in you and sleep. No beer
