Its coming back now. The tests are in Oxford, so they started with the Ox postcodes, and then widen out. Looks like they skipped Swindon and Bath, (obviously intelligent boffins), and headed straight to me.
This is how to deal with it.Sorry to harp on but it works.
Santa Clara, California, was the site of the first recorded community transmission in the USA. This is a preprint but would be very interesting result if true.

We measured the seroprevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in Santa Clara County. Methods On 4/3-4/4, 2020, we tested county residents for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 using a lateral flow immunoassay. Participants were recruited using Facebook ads targeting a representative sample of the county by demographic and geographic characteristics. We report the prevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in a sample of 3,330 people, adjusting for zip code, sex, and race/ethnicity. We also adjust for test performance characteristics using 3 different estimates: (i) the test manufacturer's data, (ii) a sample of 37 positive and 30 negative controls tested at Stanford, and (iii) a combination of both.
Results The unadjusted prevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in Santa Clara County was 1.5% (exact binomial 95CI 1.11-1.97%), and the population-weighted prevalence was 2.81% (95CI 2.24-3.37%). Under the three scenarios for test performance characteristics, the population prevalence of COVID-19 in Santa Clara ranged from 2.49% (95CI 1.80-3.17%) to 4.16% (2.58-5.70%). These prevalence estimates represent a range between 48,000 and 81,000 people infected in Santa Clara County by early April, 50-85-fold more than the number of confirmed cases.
Conclusions The population prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Santa Clara County implies that the infection is much more widespread than indicated by the number of confirmed cases. Population prevalence estimates can now be used to calibrate epidemic and mortality projections.

Background Addressing COVID-19 is a pressing health and social concern. To date, many epidemic projections and policies addressing COVID-19 have been designed without seroprevalence data to inform epidemic parameters. We measured the seroprevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in Santa Clara...

Yeah, if only. Less of our people would be dead right now. But you won and the bodies pile up. Congratulations.

Just before this broke Corbyn could have nationalised mail, water, energy distribution and supply, train operators and fibre broadband provision. Coronavirus would have been well beaten, and stopped all these premeditated murders by Boris...

Doesnt matter what they are asked cos they never give a truthful answer.
This business secretary doesnt give false replies to questions though he straight ignores them.

Exactly. Would be more honest for no one to turn up to ask them.

You’d only complain if they did.... let’s be honest, it doesn’t matter what they do, say, or achieve, you and others will just cry and moan about them and tell us how Chairman Corbyn would have ensured that no one died from the Chinese Coronavirus, by using his magic vaccine tree....whinge, whinge, moan , moan, Tories, murderers etc etc.......
