Tbh though none of this data means shit really does it in terms of comparing it to what we’ve been used to, until they can show it as a % of tests taken? We automatically compare that to the numbers during the first wave but it’s apples with oranges

What a surprise. “children and young adults were found to be potentially much more important to transmitting the virus — especially within households — than previous studies have identified”.

Largest COVID-19 contact tracing study to date finds children key to spread, evidence of superspreaders
Researchers from the Princeton Environmental Institute find the continued spread of novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is driven by only a small percentage of those who become infected.

FYI your information this is complete bollocks, I asked a someone who worked there.
You don't know anyone who works there as loads of them are foreign or not white and you hate people like that.

One of the consultants was in the Telegraph last week saying they'd got 4 in ICU and a few more elsewhere

Exactly it's madness to believe there would be no Covid patients in a hospital that size. It doesn't just take the very ill from Coventry.

Manchester has 495 cases per 100k, suspect it's generally down to the return of students

How many are confirmed in the unis?
Wow, that’s massive. Probably something to do with it. Saw over the weekend that Northumbria Uni had 770 cases !
Sure I read something like 90% of those uni cases we’re asymptomatic (don’t quote me). Just hope they isolated and kept away from higher risk/elderly. If so, and as long as the hospital admissions (and inturn deaths) aren’t spiking in the same way then hopefully it won’t be a major concern.

Alas, that isn't going to happen.

If that % is true you can’t really blame them particularly as they are confined to campus

Don't recall number but did hear something about a big spike of student cases. You can map it on the gis system PHE publish, cases all around the Oxford Rd corridor and Fallowfield
I don’t see why not. unlikely to 100% but it’s not as if it’s end of term and they’re all heading home for Xmas. It’s probably happened at the right time in that sense

£10B spent (given to your mates) on a world beating track and trace system that’s anything but and the reason that 16K haven’t been recorded, tracked and traced is because no one noticed that the XL spreadsheet had maxed out. This has got to be fake news, surely.

That’s surely enough for another 20 seats added to the majority

I always thought Excel was underrated compared to all of the new up and coming coding languages like SQL, VBA, Python etc, but then when you spend billions on something, I suppose Microsoft Office products don't do the trick!

Please never talk tech again.
Well it's true. Excel can achieve most of the more advanced things required for business, albeit less efficiently than other programmes. It's looked down upon because 'everyone can do it', or at least most Office workers can. Only when we speak of AI and Machine Learning (which this isn't) are other things particularly relevant. Granted, SQL is a better option for large datasets than Excel and not that much more advanced.

I keep spreadsheets because I'm not a techie and can't be arsed with learning database (or remembering how to use Access even) but even I know it's a far more efficient way of doing it and wouldn't dream of running a business on it, let alone a track and trace system for a deadly pandemic with potentially millions of data sets being added.
But it's Dido Harding, so if anything I'm surprised it's as advanced as Excel. I expected it'd all be paper-based with results being sent out via fax (or telegram).

Where did you get that info? I got different info from someone who actually works there.

To be fair he said it was someone inside the hospital. Doesn't say anything about them working there or being in the know. Could be a delivery guy, someone there having a test done or someone visiting a patient in a totally unrelated ward.
have you seen the video (I think I saw it on John Oliver) of the guy that went into a US hospital demanding to see Covid patients because it was all a hoax, never got further than the reception and thus concluded there were no Covid patients because he hadn't seen any.
I wonder if this is related to the week when no one could book a test?
The track and trace had an IT issue for 3days at the time IE hard to log on and no clients to call.
