Not sure if I should be happy we got it back under control and despite still having illogical restrictions (like no community sport) I should be grateful and move on with life content we were saved by the wonderful 3 musketeers. Or should we now be reflecting on the actions of the past week and asking a number of questions...
Is it true that the 26 that have tested positive, 1 was done in hospital by the amazing junior doctor, and the remaining 25 were all target tested after being identified as close contacts?
In reality, the 77,000 tests the public have taken have returned zero positive tests?
Not sure if I should be happy we have been so lucky that it never got out, or questioning why we are spending so much on having these testing facilities?
Another question I have is in relation to the timing of the testing.
St Nicola is telling us that she expects more +ve tests over the ensuing period as more people already in quarantine go through the incubation period. Ok, makes sense.
But then the 77,000 people from the general public who lined up, got tested, returned a -ve result are now running around with an assumed clean bill of health, when in reality they could actually be super spreaders???
This latest narrative of people turning positive after a number of days is also concerning with respect to the fact we were told this strain only had a 24 hour incubation period and a 3 day cycle. If so, given the virus got out on November 6th, how come some 17 days later we are seeing more people test positive despite being isolated for longer than 3 days? Is it that what we were told last Wednesday was just scare-mongering to justify crippling the economy in what amounted to nothing more than a glorified science experiment?
Danny Southern telling Plugga he's fat, I'd like to see that!
