All settings - 8 is the announced total, 47 down on yesterday and the exact same total as last Sunday. The 7 day rolling average doesn’t move as a result, it remains 53.29
This article tested that theory...something better than nothing...and it didn’t hold true. Some were no better than or worse than nothing.
Single study and all that, but I like data.

I think the idea was to get as many as possible in a proper mask, (worked), but if you dont have one to hand, it isnt that big a deal. (As long as most have a proper one on).
I saw a bloke a while back in Sainsburys with a WW2, or WW1 (wasnt at either) gas mask on. Utterly useless!!

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
I read on GOT that a woman read on FB that a woman wore a mask and she swallowed her own bacteria and later she gave her husband a gobby his penis fell off and she's on life support.
I’ve seen all kinds of mad stuff inc an old boy, who I see regularly on my runs, who dons a mask the moment he sees anyone, sticks his arms out like a plane and starts shouting “ two metres, two metres “ over again.
He’s now simply known as “ two metres “ and gets absolute hell off the Ketwigs on their mountain bikes lol

surely the more they test the more positives there will be. the people needing treatment is minimal still isnt it? Most people who have had it wont have any symptoms- depending what you read. I am starting to get the feeling that people arent really that bothered anymore. Personally i dont know what to believe and i dont think anyone really knows

I dont know mate. Its what is so annoying. A random 2 line article is on the radio, with absolutely no context at all. From what I see, the vast majority of folk are doing what they are asked to do, generally, quite cheerfully. So that suggests they are bothered, but not paralysed by fear.
My opinion is that if we just accept this as a new normal, things will be ok. There will be local outbreaks, but not the national lock down that some on here are salivating for. Hope I am right.

Same here in Ireland, more targeted testing is leading to catching more cases. Someone working in a food factory had symptoms and tested positive so they tested all employees working there and found 80+cases most had no symptoms, during the Lockdown only people with symptoms were tested and the other 80 odd would never have been found. Hospital numbers are more important now than number of cases, high positive numbers with low numbers needing medical help is exactly where we need to be.
