At least you know the drill!
Hope your son is ok.

Thanks Sluffy, he has a bad cough but no temperature but we have to get him tested just in case.

Great!@Norpig wrote:My lads test came back negative so we can leave the house now
That's astoundingly scary. Previously been told that covid mutates slowly and therefore a vaccine would cover (small) mutations for a while but attacking antibody production is genius and if it continues to mutate down that path...well without antibodies we're fucked.@Sluffy wrote:A little news snippet that could cause us a big problem - hope not though -
Coronavirus: Denmark imposes lockdowns amid mink covid fears
Danish authorities have said a lockdown will be introduced in some areas over a coronavirus mutation found in mink that can spread to humans.
The government has warned that the effectiveness of any future vaccine could be affected by the mutation.
Authorities said 12 people had been infected with the mutated strain
On Wednesday, Ms Frederiksen said the mutated virus had been found to weaken the body's ability to form antibodies, potentially making the current vaccines under development for Covid-19 ineffective.

It's a case of population density driving new infections which is why more thought is needed about travel.

Luton (which is even smaller than Bolton) has over 300 cases per 100k - and is also T2 for some reason.
Bolton must have loads of cases per 100k. As must Slough for that matter as it's a paltry 32 km sq. It's a case of population density driving new infections which is why more thought is needed about travel.
But the government refuses to give Parliament the opportunity to come up with a more refined approach to tiering in order to reduce stress and keep the economy going.
Do Bolton and Slough have more cases than Luton? I'm not so sure.
