Happy to have a flounce bet with you that we don’t get to 49,000 cases a day in October.
That’s the “without further action” number and they are presumably not going to sit on their hands. Did they specify a target state by mid-October considering any action being put in place?

No where is he saying that. So my flounce bet stands.


Btw, you do realise the figure presented (in red ) was complete and utter fiction and out medical officers should be ashamed of themselves.

What was the figure in red? I was going off the BBC reporting re. potentially 49,000 a day by mid-October if action wasn’t taken. I’m not sure what the modelling was behind that.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

From their press conference, "speaking at a televised address from Downing Street" by the Governments 2 leading Covid advisors, broadcast to the nation yesterday. Did the Spectator not cover it?

I can see how you got confused when I quoted
At a press conference today Professor Chris Whitty stated “the U.K. is heading in the wrong direction”. He also stated we could be seeing 49,000 new cases a day in coming weeks.
There's a video of it here
https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus- ... y-12078125

Of course, you clearly know WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY more than our 2 leading advisors :think:

IH - “Boris and the Tories have been terrible “

Real world - “ they’ve followed the advice of Witty and Valance”

IH - “Witty and Valance know best”.


So let’s be clear , you post again support for the 49,000 cases a day by mid Oct, and in no way think it’s a terrible message made for PR purposes to try and scare adherence to ever confusing government message regarding behaviours and Covid.


But not supportive enough to actually put a value on it. ?

Both of the government’s top advisers in the pandemic are on the verge of resigning because of Boris Johnson’s reckless refusal to implement tighter restrictions as scientists warn of 50,000-100,000 new cases per day by October if the spread of the coronavirus is not controlled, according to sources in and around the government’s ‘SAGE’ science group.

Whitty has gone public recently with recommendations for reduced social contact and is reportedly deeply frustrated with the determination of Johnson and Health Secretary Matt Hancock to ignore advice.

....

Both men are reportedly wary of the likelihood that Johnson will try to saddle them with the blame for his failings – which his attempts to claim every decision is because of ‘the science’ have long preferred.

To be fair, the 49,000 cases a day figure is the hypothetical, worst case based on no action and exponential growth (which I'm guessing isn't a given even with no action). Would also depend of testing capacity etc.

We're not getting near it in that time-frame imo.

There's clearly a problem with the way things are trending though and it will be interesting to see which levers they pull this week.

Testing really is the key to everything and that's the biggest frustration at this point. If everyone could get a quick reliable local test, the disruption can be massively reduced.

They've had six months to get their shit together on it and it doesn't seem to be working.

Alas, I have an issue with basil now. Had a meal with too much pesto (that probably wasn't the problem) and was dog sick for a day or so after, now that flavour often brings it to mind. Is Herb immunity only specific herbs? Or is it a general immunity?

If you had a moderately efficient track & track app & service, you could at least be more efficient with targeting who gets the tests too.

Weatherspoons claimed to have served 32 million customers recently, but we've only tested 18.7 million so far, so why don't we just test everyone going to a Weatherspoons and give em a free pint, win-win? :thumbup:

I think they're desperately trying to avoid closing things down - so move faster, but less harshly than last time. It should be possible to keep the pubs, schools, retail, offices all open if limited restrictions are in place.
