    The ITK people on here actually aren't, but pretend to be.

    I don't think we can read too much into the discrepancy in positive testing results - I haven't seen any reliable data on the new testing methods but suspect that PCR does have a lower false negative rate. It amplifies the amount of target protein (in this case the Covid 19 virus) until even very tiny amounts can be detected and is therefore very sensitive. However, the difference may be more due to the population being tested. Apparently less than 4 per cent of people living in the most at risk areas of Liverpool have actually gone for screening. Most of the asymptomatic testing has been done on "the worried well" who are considered to be at a lower risk anyway. This is a common problem encountered in health screening and would have been avoided in a more carefully designed approach based on existing. (but ignored) expert advice.

    I’m not ITK, but that’s exactly my understanding.

    It's worse than that, because as far as I can tell, the Police are trying to shepherd them to the BLM rally.

    They arrested Santa, lots of random nickings, groups of people trying to avoid OB not knowing which way to go, kinf of reminds me of away days in the 80;s. Sky news even have a live feed at this one but putting a different spin on it.

    I despair at all the thick ****s waving phones in the air filming. I'm beginning to think that a ****ing big asteroid would do us all a favour.

    I wonder how many of them would have claimed we got what we deserved when people were talking of heavy handed policing?

    Dropped another two places (compared with yesterday) to 5th and plummeting faster/more than those around us. (From @UKCovid19Stats on Twitter).

    I know there's more to it than just those numbers, but what sort of figure would we need on that to get the pubs open in some form?

    If its anything like last time , to have pubs open ala tier 1 would be around 100 per 100000 , would hazard a guess almost that tier 2 would be approx 250 per 100000 ? purely looking at current tier 2 towns and cities

    I think it’s a bit lower than that, current tier 1 is really low, only 50-60 per 100,000, with tier 2 more like 150 per 100,000.
