Where they tested there yesterday mate? Or where the army there for another reason?

The army are there to start the cull.

I hope you told him to keep away from freaks in a car with a megaphone.

The excitement in their voice " We've caught them!! " It's a big massive army lorry, you can't miss it.

If state really meant to tackle this virus then this testing would be done at the homes of peoples rather than bring people out to mass groups for a test...

Even SAGE has dismissed this as folly. “searching for symptomless yet infectious people is like searching for needles that appear transiently in haystacks”.

Dead easy for crackpots to run amok. You really do have to laugh at the planning and how they thought people would actually comply.

170ish out of over 23,000 is nothing

It's not "nothing". It's still something, and still something with the potential to grow outside of lockdowns.

You'd think the numbers per 100,000 would fly up if loads are getting tested but doesn't seem to be the case which is good. Is the mass testing only in place for 10 days or have I made that up?

Suppose if they were able to mass test for antibodies too then that would give a bigger picture

You’ve got two scally mums and a bloke with a Cheshire accent, who doesn’t even know the name of the school to start with.

What an odd bunch

I see @YoboCopter has been out with a few mates to protect the children of Liverpool.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that.

Although shouting into the loud haler in the confines of the car was quite funny. Was like a scene from This Country lol

Comparatively speaking, it’s nothing

schools are still open, unis, supermarkets, a lot of people still going into a place of work etc

you’d think the rate would be higher

the fact that it isn’t is good

They should have shouted " If you get tested Santa wont bring you presents "

Facebook has a lot to answer for.

Plus, @Nymzee - this form of lockdown has only been in place six days.

You can test positive for what, 2 weeks, longer?

So, as much as the gov rightly got stick for how it got implemented, that Tier system probably is the way out in the short term, given Liverpool was in T3 for 2 weeks before the latest ‘lockdown’

See that divvy with the beauty salon in Bootle got visited again by police for staying open when told to shut repeatedly because she refuses to believe in the virus

Culling the kids?.

That could catch on
