    Can someone set up a BBS poll to see where members minds are at this moment in time. Be interesting to see what the percentages are.

    Lockdown or exit lockdown.

    There are a few days on the French graph that stick up way above the trend. Ours is much more uniform, what you'd expect, and you can see when the weekends are and how our method of reporting displays those. What was the cause of the outliers on the French statistics?

    People should stop whining, a masterstroke is in the offing. Boris is going to announce that garden centres will be allowed to reopen. Take that virus! Not only wrestled to the floor but firmly chained up and never to be seen again.

    The UK first hit 5k tests per day on the 13th March and hit 100k per day on the 30th April, which is nearly 7 weeks.

    The 100k tests included ones posted out, but not returned, as they changed the figures. The next day was also over 100k, but each subsequent day has been significantly below that, with one day as low as 65k.

    Looking at the figures I don't believe we've ever hit 100k tests. It's lies.

    It was also revealed today that some tests have had been flown to America to be completed because we don't have the capacity to do them here. Make of that what you will....[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

    He didn't say when we first hit 5,000, he said we went from 5,000 to just short of 100,000 in 3 weeks. Which we did. And not that silly spike on 30th April, we've been just under 100,000 for last couple of days.

    I'll reply to that, nah, can't be @rsed. But the quote remains next time you post in that thread. Happens to me all the time.

    The first spike was most definitely as a result of the French government reporting 800+ deaths in French nursing homes. They were on different days but they couldn't redistribute them as they didn't have daily information. I suspect the other 4 spikes were for similar reasons.

    I think the main takeaway from this is that Adele is still borderline even though she’s lost all that timber.

    I hope you are right but quoting Fox News as your source doesn’t give me a feeling of confidence. I’d believe the Sunday sport before that apology for a news channel
