After 2 or 3 months..

Alongside a range of other measures. It took 38 days to identify Covid19, action had been taken well before then.

The WHO roughly around Jan suggested it was respiratory and capable of human to human transmission and set up an Incident Management Team; Taiwan had started screening etc

So my mate from work who’s a COVID denying imbecile, is off work sick and has told another mate that he’s having trouble with his breathing. Won’t call the NHS line or go to the hospital because he still thinks COVID is “a load of s***e, lad”

So if the numbers were indeed half of what was originally published for October ahead of the lockdown....

That means the tier system actually works?

Came into existence start of October and numbers did fall as a result. Perhaps as silly as the rules regarding the tiers may be, they have some credibility.

Can someone clear up this new isolation period change for me. Had to isolate since the 7th after being in contact with someone testing positive and when this changes on Monday I wouldn't be on day 10 yet so do I have still do the 2 weeks or is it just 10 days now regardless when you started to isolate. It isn't very clear to be honest.

She has mate.

She has some misgivings and was a little undecided on whether she wanted it, I talked her round, she has to wait for a phone call now.
