Which incidentally, is one of the main reasons they should let us back into Oakwell, as you can only get infected somewhere where you have fun.
An adequate test & trace system might be able to give that data. Maybe they got the figure from Germany?
When I see my elderly mum, I offer to do a bit of shopping for her if she doesn't feel like going out herself. Whenever she lets me do it, and makes her shopping-list, a copy of The Sun is always on it. The sense of utter fvcking shame and embarrassment I feel with that in my basket. It's so toxic I'm surprised it doesn't burn through the metal. As the old joke almost goes: if Tesco sold a magazine for goat-fvcking fetishists, I'd wrap The Sun in it, to improve my social standing.
I find the curfew is ridiculous, it means they will head off to a supermarket or off licence buy more and carry on in the street or mates house.
It's a pertinent point. In Australia, where numbers are very low, they can give a well educated theory of where it was contracted and from who. Here, you could lick the faces of all work colleagues but have actually contracted the virus from a bloke in Tescos. Mind you, it's an argument that works both ways. While I'm sceptical of the figures that say only 3% of infections occurred in the pub, so why the curfew, I'm equally as sceptical of the evidence that suggested they should be closed at 10 in the first place. Our track and trace, if that's the method you believe will help get us through this, appears to be a long way from accurately giving the kind of data reported here.
A week since Whitty said cases would double every seven days. So today we should have had 8736 infections but instead we had 4044. I think him and Vallance go to the Neil Ferguson school of statistics.
Get some of her old copies. Cut off THE Sun bit . Stick it over the Daily Mirror heading. Job done. If she is like my mam was. She only read the agony aunt column anyway . Tell her Colleen has taken over temporarily. Readers letters might throw her but surely some of the sun readers have taken to slagging off Boris. Edited of course.
Corect, he didn't but deliberately left a graph that showed one outcome of a flawed simple doubling of cases without showing alternative scenarios. It was laughable to the extent that if the progression had continued it would have hit 49 million UK cases by Christmas.
