T&T doing well in hitting a new low that is just 1 in 7 (15.1%) getting a result in 24 hours. lowest weekly percentage since test and trace began. :sad:

:ohmy: How low does it have to go before it stops being world-beating?

There seems to be doubt about the accuracy of the particular test that is being used on the Giro, it seems it can return false positives in some cases.
Teammate Joe Dombrowski told The Cycling Podcast that Gaviria had a second test that showed up positive before leaving. I suspect they gave him a swab test after the spit test showed positive.

It's just got even worse
Operation moonshot has on the QT been dropped along with idea of mass rapid testing and shallowed up by Dido's horror show.
Turned out to what it was after all
"plans for full rollout of 10m tests a day by early 2021 was no more than a “document designed to provoke discussion” and “did not and does not reflect an adopted policy”. said DOH

So is that an issue with the labs or nobody able to book a test or both ? What an absolute shoot show. Not sure what the stats are up here ?

Missed out on your cash then.^_^ Not sure what you mean regarding BRI? It has ICU that didn't get overwhelmed in spring and which has now been split in half, I assume in preparation. However, that capacity (that didn't get overwhelmed in spring) could be tripled at very short notice, this is a largely victorian, not modern hospital. I said it in spring, the NHS can do big things very swiftly, it's astonishing, and it is prepared and can move swiftly in any crisis and is lot more prepared now than in spring.

In general, the ICU virus demographic has changed, lot younger, more robust although obesity is still an issue, but they are far more likely to surivive than the (in general) spring arrivals. It is not all doom and gloom.
Not Victorian, but the main building isn't exactly new, on the outside.

It's been reported elsewhere that the death on the trial was someone on placebo suffering COVID complications, quoting "sources close to the trial" or somesuch. That sounds credible to me.
Indeed. Where was that reported, please?

I should think a lot more than pubs, but there are far more shops than pubs, I was just pointing out the alternatives to your statement.

"Non seem to have remained closed, shut up for good"
It seems a bit early to say if more than usual have shut up for good. The previous operator might have gone bust but that's not to say no-one else will be tempted to try. The link suggested that it's not a particularly high number to have been converted or demolished yet.
