Coronavirus outbreak

Luxembourg? Is your eyesight okay, that's the same rainbow one he's been wearing throughout.

No, eyesight still farked, especially colour perception. Thanks for asking(!)

I still think it's not clear in SD video.

And last time I had the misfortune to see him, he was wearing a 1984esque "CARE" badge.

I believe you'd still need to do the 10 day's one test is not a full guarantee your clear.

I misread that, but it applies to three sets of circumstances.

If the government haven't changed the other bits of the guidance from a month or so ago, if you are the first node then if you get a negative test you are released. If you are a second node you aren't. If you are from a non-air corridor you aren't. Of course the nonsense of this is you have no idea nor does the govt what the true picture is so individuals should be extremely cautious, but get tested after a few days.

With them going on about 500 000 tests a day now they really should be moving towards double testing. Second node testing winds me up as apparently that is happening as a matter of course now to encourage people to isolate. You might as well change the policy then!

With regards the testing, a better record needs to be kept of those tested. My result was texted back with a different name to what was given by me. As far as I know, the only correct details they have is the phone number the text was sent to.

That's what you get with this total mess of bit's NHS and bit's private. Lab's don't joined up, results not able to be added to the Patient records quickly. Private side not passing on results. ect , ect. At the root of all this is the total carve up of public health, it's professionals , it's lab net work and it's budget. it's been slowly all killed off by clowns of all colours for decades.

Then we have the continuing joke of having a kit basically pushed though the car window and your expected to carry out the test. If your really not well you've no hope of following the instructions. That swob has to go a good way in to have any hope of being effective. We need trained HCP's doing them for everyone. Some counties even developing ones have someone trained going all the testing. Why we can't is just down to chasing numbers and not how good to make the testing. Lord's knows what the fail rate of self tests are as they don't publish any date on how this whole thing is not working.

Ah, maybe it's colour perception! It's clear to me, even from the screenshot.

Yes he's flipped between the rainbow and the "CARE" badge often.

I'm wondering if I got someone else's results, the person named on the text. And if that's the case, what was the result of my test and who got that.

You may well have which is worrying and you can bet your not the only one. After all data was never Dido's strong point.
Have you double checked what result your GP got sent or indeed if they ever got a result ?

Currently unable to check, urgent only, which I respect.

119, say it's only the details given that have been used. Despite having to spell the name out when phoning the first time.

No help at all for a member of staff with respiratory symptoms trying to decide if they are going down with a cold or with covid 19

So go out on the bike get back and it's all kicking off. The government look to be listening to what they are being told and being proactive.
They said they would pull back and they have have which is a good move. Acting now will give time to see what the bigger picture is.
More areas needing face coverings is long over due should have been done from day one.

Hands, face, space. Get a test.

At least it's got more sense than stay alert.

I disagree.

All personal safety is achieved by staying alert to hazards or potential dangers and acting accordingly.
As cyclists, we all should be more attuned to the concept than most folks.

I stay alert:
I do not go to crowded places.
I choose carefully the shops/restaurants/pubs I use
I avoid touching anything with my hands - buttons at road crossings I operate with my elbow. Ditto doors.
I carry and use in shops a face mask
On the street, if someone insists on passing too close I stop breathing for a few paces before and after they pass.
I use hand sanitizer at shop entrances.

etc

STAY ALERT

Well three households are in one, having another C19 party.

The new rules are being kept well it seems.
