COVID case in the kids' school nursery bubble.

So we've been told the 3-year-old has to self-isolate for 14 days... but everyone else in our house is fine and can carry on as usual, no problems.



No wonder this thing is spreading again - totally clueless from top to bottom.

That’s correct unless your child develops symptoms then your family have to self-isolate as well.

Yep, and it makes absolutely zero sense.

22,000?

Hope you have nailed the baby gates around his room mate.

Dont let the little bugger out.

 

[Nymzee]

It does and it doesn’t. I think they’re just trying to make sure they’re not unnecessarily keeping people from working if they don’t need to. Ideally you’d want negative tests from your kid then none of you have to self-isolate but just doesn’t seem to be the resource for that.

22,000?

Its just a prank bro, they lost some numbers or something, eat out to stay out.

Coronavirus: Why the missing 15,841 COVID-19 cases will affect everyone

The coronavirus figures have been drastically underestimated for over a week but the effect of this issue may yet last longer.

news.sky.com

Utter jokers.




Whether that is accurate remains to be seen. What is undeniable: the impact of this issue on Test and Trace. None of these positive cases have been contact traced, so Test and Trace is now dealing with a substantial backlog. One contact tracer says they greeted the news with "dread".

An impact for Test and Trace is actually an impact for everyone. More than 15,000 people have gone untraced at a moment when the virus is spreading fast - and the vast majority of those will now be too late to catch in time. England's most important defence against the virus was bypassed by an internal error.

We now know that the coronavirus figures have been drastically underestimated for over a week. The effect of this issue may yet last longer.

I'm told a "serious incident" was declared in Test and Trace yesterday. With so much at stake, serious is definitely the word.

No wonder Spitting image is behind a pay wall, just can't compete for laughs with this lot in charge...

Small print there.

It's not a day's worth but 9 days worth all at once.

So not as scary as the media headline makes out.

It's a safe bet to always think bad about Johnsons government reflect for while because it's always going to be worse!

PM warns of ‘bumpy’ winter while data ‘issue’ blamed for 16,000-case backlog pushing numbers to record high

Time to end the farcical lock downs. If we aren't getting vaccinations we can get back to living and those fortunate ones can stay indoors til it comes about.

Once again we’re all sat on our hands because care homes in this country are filthy hovels. Wonderful.
