Coronavirus outbreak

All first contact. The no pick ups didn't say, although last week it sounded like it was about 80% no pick ups.

Of those they got through to, students and many people whose first language is not English.

Do they have access to language line or which ever the government is signed up to?

Right with you , I've heard about contacting after it had pasted before. It was also talked about in the last panorama about T&T.

Yep I think language line. Still some of the calls quite lengthy in that respect.

CDC finally accept airborne transmission now we just need WHO to accept it.

In other news parliament is adding extra covid measures yes to plastic screens. No to compulsory face covering they will be "strongly advised" to wear face coverings when moving around. But not in the chamber right what science is that following then?

Just need to increase the distance now.
"Pathogen-bearing droplets can be suspended in the air for not just seconds, but minutes, and can travel up to 27 feet."

Fluid dynamics from back in April, "pathogens" not coronavirus - not news.

Your view only.
Pathogens are of different kinds such as viruses, bacteria, fungus, and parasites.

No, basic language comprehension, not a view. Saying some pathogens - or even viruses - may travel 27ft does not mean coronavirus does or even that it can.

When will the second wave of scaremongering peak?

Still further than the 6'6" distance given as a safe distance. And a lot further than the current 3'3" distance in use.

If he judges this to be divisive language, he really should be advised not to put his name into twitter search.

I understand that the answer he was going to give was on a spreadsheet but due to insufficient columns it was truncated.
Here's some divisive language for you, Hancock: #DIV/0!

That just emphasises how much more dangerous you are WITH symptoms, than just being a carrier.
"How a sneeze can launch germs ... "

Similar modelling was one reason SAGE came up with a sneeze raising the risk by up to 1500 times.
