I think it means there will be more cases that haven't been tested or have been tested but got false negatives.

Saw some other humans in a garden today.
It was nice.
I’m looking forward to the time when the Mrs can have a few mates round myself, and I never like anyone coming round.

:D
These poor bastards still think there's a virus out there or something.
Went to the park today and had lunch with family. Was lovely.
The news continues to anonymise contact tracers with tales of "I'm getting paid £1500 a month for doing nothing lolololol". There's gonna be the mother of all Horizons/Panoramas when they find out the public sector is over 5m deep.
Well fuck me dead...

They had previously stated the man returned a positive test after his death, which prompted the setup of fever clinics and deployment of contact tracers to the central Queensland town of Blackwater.
An autopsy report shows the Emerald man, who had underlying health issues, tested negative to COVID-19 and his cause of death is yet to be established.

Apparently the proper number is always much higher than reported. Well it has always been the yarn at the pub over the years.

About 2,500 US troops were originally scheduled to arrive in the NT before the pandemic hit
A modified rotation of about 1,200 US Marines will train in the NT in 2020
The Marines will be quarantined at an ADF facility in Darwin
I see on the BBC today an article about the growth of house prices stalling (understandably) and interesting tidbit at the end saying banks aren't happy that payment deferrals aren't temporarily on people's credit files which makes me suspect they will just note it unofficially against you anyway despite saying it won't be held against you.
That new conga style voting at the House of Commons is absurd.
NatWest had a massive queue today. I don't really understand what banking gets done at branch these days and they weren't all oldies.
Nevermind that, some fucking young couple were on the news yesterday running into a SEAT dealership to buy an SUV. At least some luxury whip I can understand given you clearly have no regard for financial planning but thirsting for a brand new SEAT during lockdown is epic :D
I had the brake pads on my Skoda changed the other day by a Somalian geezer wearing a Mercedes-Benz facemask, I don't think I've ever scale such heights again.
My Skoda’s DEAD. Well, the battery’s gone cos it’s not moved in over ten weeks. Whoops!
Counting two tests if they swab twice on one person :D
So when the postal tests come back, they're counted again? What a fiddle. I did look into the Netherlands numbers the other day and they only test around 4,000 but they also have hospital admissions down in single figures. So you assume, despite the low testing, the ones roaming about aren't leading to hospitalisations.
It's good to see case numbers and admissions go down but it's clear Britain's outbreak has the longest tail of Europe.
Who is this for?
Portugal says the air bridge is near and they'll take the Brits in the Algarve this summer :drool: I know a cracking whorehouse in Vilamoura, if anyone needs deets just holla.
It's all under control now Boris is in charge 5 months after it was a problem.
Some will say we'd already reached it with Brexit, but whether you agree with that or not, this is copper bottomed, outright lying.
We've been lolling in the West at dictatorships and governments of communist shitholes doing likewise for decades, but it's here now, with us, and for my money it's probably the most dangerous thing to come out of the pandemic, including the virus itself.
It's just not acceptable, in any way.
And as for the economic side, it's bad. People have been spunking money up the wall on home improvements like there's no tomorrow, and there won't be for them at this rate.
This was interesting, if not unexpected.

I refuse to believe that we went from zero repayment in 7 years, to 100m in December and 7.4billion in April.
You what?
My friend is out of their overdraft for the first time in about ten years, so I would believe literally anything you could tell me about debt repayment.
He might be confusing consumer debt with government debt.
I think I've been confused by them conflating 3 different articles but I can't confirm because they're all behind a registration paywall now.
I have not. Worth a watch I assume?
Yep. I should really get more into Adam Curtis' stuff but I fear they all follow the same pattern.
It's pretty trippy - I only managed half of it.
My personal debt story is that I've pretty much paid off 60-70% off my debt over the past 3 months so much so that I think I can clear it before the end of summer. I'm not sure how much appetite I will have on bringing it back.
We have paid the majority of our debt off with the last three pay cycles. We are keeping 2-3k debt as read it's better to have a small amount of manageable debt than nothing at all.
Its mad quite how much money we must have been pissing away every month. I think my spending habits will permanently change on the back of this.
Any of his stuff is worth watching, Bitter Lake is particularly good as is Machines of Loving Grace.
I've not seen Machines of Loving Grace. Do you know where it's available?
Yeah earning and not spending is an amazing feeling. Got mates who are suddenly splurging on gaming pcs and cars. Some of the nights out that will be happening in a few months' time. :drool:
Debt free and about a grand a month going into savings at the moment. The temptation to spunk it all when things return to normal will be the real test.
Did you all inherit houses or are they just dirt cheap outside London over there?
Fucking people who've got their shit together. :nono:
I haven't noticed too much of a difference, I guess because well over half of my income goes on bills anyway. I'm going to be absolutely fucked if the rent or council tax go up.
I'm fortunate in that I'm in Norfolk where the cost of living is pretty low and for what I do I earn London equivalent money so it works out nicely. On the flip side of it though I see plenty of people who earn 15-20k a year and the chance of buying a house even in a cheap part of the country is unlikely.
How is your tango coming along?
