Absolutely does my head in watching all other nations make a commitment to face coverings while the UK Banana Republic - with the worst record on Covid19 in the world - continues to ignore the option of their mass take up.

Utter 'kin mutants walking about breathing their muck up over others because they 'want to be an individual'...with their standardised 'kin tattoos and haircuts and duck lips.

I'm sad to say this, but a large proportion of the people of the UK are utter scumbags. The UK is like the worst scally family on a sink estate.

All good here mate, how fares life in lock down!

Haven't got a clue mate I am getting sick of it now.

It’s a hard slog mate, what’s the first you’d do if things were back to normal!

Absolutely next to no point. Same with closing borders, or quaratining arrivals. It's in the community in massive numbers already.

So, despite being a doctor, you think track and trace is a waste of time, despite it being used by every country that has managed to get on top of the case numbers.

Pretty wreckless comment when all the evidence shows track and trace after reducing the initial number of cases is the way to control the number of infections.

Your answer is to, just give up and do nothing, as it's already there ....

Macro and micro systems mate, ancedotely I think you can begin pick out the country’s who have done well and they usually had an early commitment to respiratory protection, masks and coverings.

Think a lot comes down to personal risk assessment to though, the likes of a shopping centre getting grub in, large transit environment by many people, no control over others, poorly ventilated etc, you’d be mad not to wear one. Public transport, churches etc when they open strike me as high risk to.

Will it be used in the same way in the UK as it has in every other country and what do you think the risks to track and trace are in the current climate in the UK?

I mean I would usually go with someone with some kind of expertise in the field. Unless you do, in which case I apologise.

Although I think I think the point is track and trace works much better in isolated case in order to prevent further spread. But if the growth rate is in an exponential phase (r0 above 1) then it’s ineffective.

Ha party, good call!

I want to get back to going to games mate, really miss it, I’m really involved in Gaelic football over here - really miss it, it should have been the start of our season the last two weeks, just gone.

This seems a bit of a warning flag

SAGE have produced a similar report based on data from around 20000 hospital cases and largely reached the same conclusion. However, it does find a correlation in communities where particular socioeconomic factors exist.
