By the end of the 2nd month they should be low enough to permit social mixing as the number of positive people missed will drop dramatically each time Cheap test with relatively poorish accuracy - outdoors events Medium test with high accuracy -indoor events schools and workplaces Laboratory verified test- healthcare and care for vulnerable workers That's fine if those testing positive abide by the isolation rules but so few are it's virtually pointless. Testing is futile if those testing positive are not going to isolate as instructed. What evidence is there that there is mass rule breaking when it comes to self isolation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a lot of people passing it onto one other person rather than one person passing it to several. Anyone know of an environment that opened again around 3 weeks ago that may have facilitated this?

Bar one couple who booked a flight home, everyone else I could hear talking quite brazenly was saying how they were planning on just chancing their luck on return as A, no one follows up on you, and B, if you were unlucky enough to get caught the fine was cheaper than the handful of tickets left for any flights that could get you home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit different from having a positive test, symptoms awaiting a test or having been a close contact of a positive case though. Other governments believing Turkey's hilariously fake figures has been one of the best bits of the pandemic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Geography in is not great but I assume they are all tier 3 neighbours. If their rises continue, the 1st 3 could (Possibly should) see themselves in tier 4. East Renfrewshire from 198.9 to 221.9 South Ayrshire 149.2 to 172.3 Also Inverclyde 84.8 to 100.3 Renfrewshire 220 to 230.6 Todays figure to 2nd November is 144.6 another slight rise. Yesterdays 4 worst risers have "stabilised" Todays bad boys are Aberdeen 41.2 to 47.2 Fife 77.4 to 90.8 ( Kennoway been a hotbed for weeks and now Cowdenbeath and particularly Crossgates, so not the Students) Edited November 5, 2020 by superbigal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
