Well if The Metro says it, it's gospel.
Absolutely. It just underscores the lunacy of not shutting everything down as early as possible.
I know it's not the point of the post but how do you even get that data? Is that not just a (fair) assumption or is it based on actual data?
For the record I only reported this as I feel mods like yourself should set a better example
I think this is the point that most are missing here, there are plenty of people who are actively doing the hard work that aren't being tested. If anything, to ensure that we have a big enough front line ready to tackle the volume of cases that we'll inevitably see.
Don't worry, Trump has got this. You'll all be fine and back working soon .... apparently
Like it or not they are considered expendable where as the PM really isn't. I can imagine the decision has been taken that it's better to not know right now since we can't afford to have a load of medical professionals in 14 day isolation.
It's not idiocy. He's just announced he can continue to do his job whilst isolating. He was putting himself and others at unnecessary risk, when he could've been working from home like everyone else who can. He only required testing due to him refusing to follow his own rules.
Thanks, this is was more what I'm getting at. He runs a very important job and I understand the need for testing but I don't understand how he would put others at risk any more, or even close to as much as, anyone working a hospital.
This has nothing to do with the question whether the PM should be tested or not, though. He is the most imporant person in the country and has to get preferred treatment.
No idea if this is true (don't know Independents political slant) but could help?
Yeah, say that to the NHS staff slogging it out putting their lives at risk and can't get tested.
This isn't a point about the Prime Minister and his role due to his expendability (for a different thread/discussion, but essentially he's a mouthpiece). It's the principle of solving this head on, and the most successful countries have done it in two stages - testing, and contact tracing. The latter comes once we've got the first resolved, but forgive me when i don't have sympathy for a two tier testing system that we currently have in place, which is basically down to money/accessibility or whether you have severe symptoms of the virus.
Found Howard Nurse's caf account
We've already clapped for a minute for them, what more do they want?
technically i dont think he can be furloughed as he is "working from home"

Up to his boss whether or not she feels the job can be appropriately done from home.
I meant something to show me the locations of all positive tests.
Stream seems behind.
Which is why they'll all be routinely tested to reduce the risk of taking down everyone at once.
Some excellent recent discussion here -https://www.redcafe.net/threads/qanon.446120/
Don't think that's proven. Seems to be quite a number of people who had the virus weeks before their test and still got a positive for it.
It really is crazy isn’t it. Any world leader would be exactly the same.Imagine questioning if we should test the leader of our countryI think the bloke is a buffoon, but its just bizarre logic to think he's not an important person to test.
Find that interesting. They say anonymised but if you can identify someone through trends in the anonymised data alongside other data sets then it isn't under EU law.
Cheers pal.
