Has anybody seen what date these start from... Is it from this evening?
They take effect immediately.
Thanks. I asked because my kid is teaching at a kids summer camp thing. Assuming that gets cancelled so (more than 6 indoors / 15 outdoors)
They wont get it down to low levels again. people are now fed up of the whole thing after 5 months in and huge amounts of money already spent. The statistics are all over the place anyway and are not reliable, 200 sunday, 56 monday, 190 today. Unless you put the army on the streets you wont get that compliance again.
but the R number is based on the statistics, the statistics are based on the testing which is wholly inadequate anyway and not measuring the true infection rate (and I still dont trust the statistics anyway because I think manipulation is going on in what days they choose to enter them). The only reason the R number went up is because they had to do widespread testing in the factories and guess what they found coronavirus. Therefore there are probably alot of people that get mild coronavirus symptoms, say nothing. get better and are probably doing this because of the whole naming and shaming associated with it. They dont want to be blamed for causing clusters and this is just human nature.Its the increase trend that is real concern not the raw numbers. And the R number is now 1.6.
This virus can double week on week.

They were testing what was presented to them which was probably mostly negative , "the worried well", they were not going and doing testing at big enough volume in known problem areas like meat factories and direct provision centres and the link between meat factories and direct provision centres has not been broken. The R number is high because they were not picking up the actual infection rate previously whereas now they are picking some of it up because they have moved their detection to where the infection is. The R number is just the detection it is not the actual infection.Are you suggesting that recent testing has been misdirected? Do you think they were deliberately targeting testing to avoid clusters?
"the worried well",
That's what we're currently paying for anyway.
