That said, my old MSOA in Cov is amongst the poorest 10% in the country yet has recorded 30 cases over the whole period and none for 10 weeks.

We’ve just had a big mental health initiative at work alongside new t&c’s where you don’t get paid for your first 3 days off sick no matter what. Covid or not. Not been a thing for the last 15 years. Absolute jokers.
I’m relatively settled money wise but that’s encouraging me to come in if I feel ill. With what’s going on right now it’s absolutely fucking stupid.

Our company policy before covid was unpaid first 3 days sick. Since March, it's been from day one if you have covid symptoms. Even paying sick pay for quarantine after a holiday, as long as the holiday was booked pre May 28th.
Seems harsh for your company to go the other way.

Some companies are great with it, but there's some utter pricks out there. I have to live payday to payday ( not proud of it) but i cant afford 2 weeks no pay/SSP so if i had symptoms i have to decide between the morally right thing or getting in shut financially.
Shouldn't be like that in a pandemic

Better ignore my earlier post.
So much/ many different equations/sources.
So the figure I put up of 33 New case's and being down from last week is crap .
As this article says it was 65: new cases .

Apparently the murmurs coming out of SAGE are that the country’s R rate is believed to be back above 1 again. If there’s any truth in that get ready for a return to lockdown. Just hope the government isn’t slow to react again.

There used to be a joke when I was teaching about “staircase marking” where you threw the stack of coursework at the top of the stairs and those that land at the bottom get an A and those at the top an E.
It’s not a million miles off the algorithm used by OfQual.

We've been told for weeks one of the keys is to stay below 1,000 infections a day. In the last week we've passed that on 5 days including 1,441 yesterday. The government completely ignored that and eased the restrictions in place so I wouldn't have too much confidence they will respond to the R number increasing.

It's like if the R number/infections rises they've decided quarantine from more destinations will sort it, seemingly oblivious to the fact that if infections are rising it means it's already spreading here.
Whether they're just actually that stupid or it just plays to their crowd - don't infringe my rights, blame it all on the foreigners - I don't know. Probably a bit from column A and a bit from column B.

Had my results back the same day, saying they were inconclusive, so went back again on the same day for a retest (Wednesday), just gave them a call as I hadn't received anything and they haven't even bothered to complete the work their side, have another upto 48 hour wait for my results, meaning if they come back inconclusive again, I'm outside of the 5 days time frame for a retest. Bunch of amateurs.

Inconclusive? I thought they'd be able to give you a yes or no.

There's 3, Positive, negative, & inconclusive.
I've just had the results confirming a negative. Even though I was displaying classic signs and still do.

well hopefully that's the end of it as far as Covid is concerned and what you've got is just a bug.

What's even more annoying is that they've mainly downgraded schools in poorer areas whereas 'posher' schools haven't been. Yet if anyone's more likely to have fiddled the grades it's those schools where the parents have the ability to give the teachers the 'incentive' to do so.
And once again they were given warning of the outcome with how it went in Scotland.
They're now not just privately against social mobility they're publicly trying to prevent it and couldn't give a fuck.
