Coronavirus

That sounds like double and/or triple counting even.

If they are waiting on test results, they'll be in the figures shortly won't they?

Let's keep to apples and apples eh? the recorded cases are what Vallance referenced and the recorded cases were not growing exponentially as he suggested.

meanwhile reports in Blackburn that people have been declaring symptoms and heading off for testing in the hope they'll get a positive and qualify for two weeks of and a £500 bung.

No, I can't believe anyone would do that, just like no one fiddled the furlough scheme.

To be honest I’m a bit sceptical about the REACT survey but, either way, the virus is obviously spreading really fast. So we currently have daily new positive cases at c 24,000, the ZOE symptom checker app is saying It’s nearer c 45,000 and REACT suggesting as much as 96,000. The one thing that is fairly well understood though is that cases have been doubling about every nine days so, unless all the increased restrictions and scary news don’t have an affect with the general public, it’s quite feasible that we’ll be at the 96,000 new positive tests each day in c 18 days time, it’s the maths of it all that is pretty frightening
