So contact tracing has been up and running since Thursday and no official word on how many have been traced.
We are told 25,000 tracers can do 10,000 a day with around 8,000 new cases a day with lockdown as it is at the moment.
An R rate that's still too high to mess things up 10,000 capacity will become snowed under pretty quick once open season fully gets going.
political parties of any colour love sticking numbers and targets to things but this is not a political matter is a public health one. A virus won't care if you back track and slow down. We still have time to pull this back , we still have time to save lives but sadly the death rate no longer matters ,life no longer matters ,the NHS no longer matters, it may just about cope again but the staff can't do this all again. The ones sat at home waiting for the shifts to end can't do this all again. The county can't either but as long as the racing is back on for Matt it will be fine.
