Yeah I meant that one
Do you mean this one?
Leak reveals possible harsher three-tier England Covid plan
Exclusive: government documents suggest potential pub closures and stricter social contact ruleswww.theguardian.com
worst thing is in that report it says the 15k "backlog" weren't transferred on to a computer adn weren't available to contact tracers
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.www.princeton.edu
FYI - yesterday in walsgrave hospital 0 people in for Covid. Just to say that again. 0 in.
One of the consultants was in the Telegraph last week saying they'd got 4 in ICU and a few more elsewhereFYI 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.

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

Alas, that isn't going to happen.and kept away from higher risk/elderly.
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.
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 FallowfieldHow many are confirmed in the unis?
Alas, that isn't going to happen.
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
I can tell you it's not.I don’t see why not.
£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.
Playing the race card for the umpteenth time. That's all you ever do . Why not do everyone a favour and fuck off ?FYI your information this is complete bollocks, I asked a someone who worked there.

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!
Ok ok I’m wrongFYI your information this is complete bollocks, I asked a someone who worked there.

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.Please never talk tech again.
Where did you get that info? I got different info from someone who actually works there.FYI - yesterday in walsgrave hospital 0 people in for Covid. Just to say that again. 0 in.
Python up and Coming? LolI 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!
Ok ok I’m wrong
this was from someone inside the hospital.
no it wasn't
I wonder if this is related to the week when no one could book a test?

Yet another example of privatising something where the capability isn't there in the private sector. NHS Digital has got all the tools needed for test and trace yet Cock and has set up a shadow system. The bloke, his advisors and senior civil servants should all be getting the fucking boot.Fine.
Excel isn’t coding. It’s a spreadsheet package. SQL is a database query and definition language, also not Turing complete (and was invented in 1974 a full 14 years before The first Excel released). VB is Microsoft Office’s scripting language, used in conjunction with Excel. Python is a fully formed programming language but can hardly be described as up and coming as it was released almost 30 years ago.
The problem was using a spreadsheet package to do the job of a database, nothing to do with coding or languages. Even then CSV would’ve been perfectly fine for a flat file DB, had they not used Excel which has size limitations and is well known for destroying your data. And let’s not get started on the GDPR implications of storing private info in an Excel doc.
Also AI and ML are the same thing, and are data processing tools (more accurately optimisation models), again nothing to do with Excel or data structures in general.
Ok, cool story. I forgot that this a General Chat forum where people can define the semantics rather loosely, rather than a developer community.Fine.
