So we are definitely not having a second national lockdown.

Interesting how perspectives differ. Watching last night's highlights, I was struck by the number of 'fans' without facemasks running alongside the competitors, well inside 2m, and seemingly screaming their support.
Surely that puts both competitors and nearby fans at greater risk?
This article in Nature is a good summary of rapid antibody testing worldwide.

How are TT’s working with the pusher-off ? Under normal circumstances they would come into close contact with the entire field.

I don’t know about Wales but that isn’t within the Scottish rules. We’re only allowed to meet with one other household in Scotland. So it’s more relaxed than the English rule in one sense but stricter in another. It probably evens out.

Very much so. Many of the teams have been very angry about this.

They're working fine as there's no pusher-off; riders start with one foot on the ground and are counted down from a 2 metre+ distance, usually from a parked car.
It's the same for hillclimbs, although there's a 'stick' approach which is being tried for these - sanitised between riders*:
Note: we've not tried this. My son starts his hill-climbing season this Sunday and we'll see how it works. He may just let go and fall over!

Which ever way you look at this things are not going well.
Case numbers are up and growing.
Testing is all but on it's knees and no real plan how to get it back it.
Too many schools look to be demanding test results for nothing more than a cold. Not surprising as the messaging is still a mess and too many still don't understand the basics of covid. Contact tracing is still in a mess in some areas it looks to be working but still not a nationally joined up process.
Too many placers have clearly just used the" cut out and keep" covid secure poster as window dressing and done sod all else. Which is going to have to change and fast.
Hospital are starting to clear the decks and care homes are fearing the worse.
Lock downs are becoming more wide spread with more to come stay around for some time
Sadly we still have too many people just want "normal" what ever the cost and it will cost someone a life one way or the other. So guess what it's not coming soon so get use to things and get a grip.
Too many willing to trust the wackos with no real medical, scientific credit. Or my mates sisters "friend" who's friend has a friend of someone she "knows" who posted it facebook about something she's been told by her "friend" who's sister works with someone at the vets.
Oh and still have the Boris, Hancock and dido show who lost it weeks ago who still don't have a clue.

For the many who try to make sense of all this and try to do what's been asked. But find it complex this in BMJ
may help to explain why covid is complex and how 5 simple rules can help managing uncertainty in a pandemic.
