To be fair - many of the government's recent policies have changed the effective reproductive number (R) substantially!! And July 19th will give it an even bigger boost.shpalman wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 2:42 pmFestival organisers have urged the government to change “untenable” self-isolation rules that they say are already causing staffing problems and could lead to people deleting the NHS Covid-19 tracing app to avoid getting “pinged”.
Why not ask the government to change Δ's R number instead.

Re: cOVID_19 the unreunrelockdown
With a total population of about 116,000 and consequently perhaps around 2000 or fewer in the 85-89 age group - their current case rate in that age group in North Kesteven (137.8 per 100,000) probably means about 3 cases.shpalman wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 4:28 pmI notice now that North Kesteven, the local authority to the south of Lincoln where nobody has died of covid since early June, has spiked a non-zero case rate in the 85-89 age group.
In fact, given their rate in that age group goes up in multiples of 45.9 it is exactly 3 cases currently. August 4th they peaked at 275.6 per 100,000 - i.e. 6 cases.

Anecdote alert:
My brother-in-law has Covid, silly effer went to London. He is double jabbed but he is bad as a dog in bed with it. Just to think how bad it's hit him double-jabbed - if he'd caught it before getting the vaccine he might have actually died. My sister-in-law (my husbands sister and her husband btw) isn't going to isolate because from tomorrow she apparently doesn't have to! This comes second hand from my mother-in-law and we rarely speak to SIL and BIL so no chance to change minds there. They're following what the law says, not what common sense says!
You'd think they'd realise that, if it's hitting a fit, healthy, double-jabbed man in the prime of his life* this hard, what about others who aren't as fit and healthy - jabbed or not?!
Not that SIL has ever had an ounce of common sense...
*He's about 53 IIRC

Re: cOVID_19 the unreunrelockdown
Of course since Lincoln just had the country’s worst case rate, because of outbreaks associated with the pub/club scene, all my nieces and nephews and their significant others just had covid to varying degrees. Mostly fine, most of them were at least single-jabbed, because they're not that stupid.

She went against the authorities and opened her restaurant during lockdown
Now it turns out that for months she's been fighting long covid after contracting the auto-translated "crown virus".

Re: cOVID_19 the unreunrelockdown
Bizarrely, and mostly because we're governed by complete tools, I don't think it counts people who were already self-isolating. So technically she does still have to self isolate from tomorrow. However, I think that rule is likely to be followed as much as the one where people over 18 who are unvaccinated or have only had one vaccine need to isolate and nobody else does.headshot wrote: ↑Sun Aug 15, 2021 2:52 pmShe’s “advised” to get a PCR test and if she tests positive, she has to isolate.

Re: cOVID_19 the unreunrelockdown
Well, quite. It doesn't sound very pleasant but that's not specifically a covid problem. The covid problem is gathering a whole load of different people in the same place but claiming you have some sort of magic "covid protocol" which makes everything fine, when there's no evidence of even that. You don't even have any rules about a UK equivalent of the EU Green Pass in force yet, right?Fishnut wrote: ↑Wed Aug 18, 2021 9:37 amIt's interesting that all their concerns are about surface contamination and there wasn't a single mention of ventilation or masks.

Re: cOVID_19 the unreunrelockdown
Cleaning of surfaces and hands to prevent illness/kill germs is something that everyone is taught as a child, then as you grow up you are reminded of that every time you see a Dettol advert or for antibacterial soap. So it seems like it would be easy for those sorts of ideas to stick, because they already knew that's how you prevent disease. You don't have the same with masks and ventilation.Fishnut wrote: ↑Wed Aug 18, 2021 9:37 amIt's interesting that all their concerns are about surface contamination and there wasn't a single mention of ventilation or masks.

More organisers who’ve gone over and above what’s asked to prevent covid. It’s almost like this pandemic isn’t actually over yet.
It may or may not be a coincidence that Cornwall has subsequently seen it’s highest number of daily cases since then.

Re: cOVID_19 the unreunrelockdown
Yes. But the concerns about cleanliness are probably partly concerns that this shows a lax attitude to health in general which indicates that Covid precautions are very unlikely to be adequate also. Though this is a good point:
Yes, if you think your heallth is being threatened, it's probably not very sensible to stay.She also said that a manager at the resort said, "it couldn't have been that bad because they stayed all week."
Re: cOVID_19 the unreunrelockdown
Well, I spoke too soon. Went to the shops yesterday and mask usage has dropped like a stone. There was only me and an elderly Asian lady wearing masks, everyone else appears to have forgotten that Covid is a thing.
