    Universities are basically just the Covid version of Chickenpox parties.

    I'm ninety per cent certain I had it in February. I had all of the symptoms, but the two things that made me question it were 1) my mother was around a few days afterwards, and she never got it; and 2) I thought I got it from the airport, but the symptoms came on a bit quickly for that. HOWEVER, my mother had some horrendous flu about four months beforehand (ending up collapsing and going to hospital), which could have given her a bit of resistance to it; and I had forgotten that I was in London the previous week, so if I got it there brushing past some foreigner then it would have been ten days-ish afterwards.

    I've picked up my first cold for about 2 years and it's been weirdly aggressive, almost like the illness is in a hurry to fuck off.

    I caught it from a PT at the gym

    But yeah, so far it’s just been a head cold for me. Positive only came through today though so plenty of time.

    I still haven't had so much as a sniffle since January, which is unheard of, for me. I've been taking vit D supplements but that's about it, maybe they're the key to the game.

    I hadn't been ill since last winter, but my daughter going to school has seen 2 colds in 3 weeks. They must have a Snot Swap Shop set up in the playground.

    Our tests came back negative, which is a relief. Must be some other virus my son's brought back from nursery.

    Guy at work has tested positive, but loss of taste and smell is his only symptom

    Schools here seem to be employing some sort of three coughs and you're out policy which is going to be ruinous at some point.

    Bearing in mind that I don't think we've had a case of community transmission since probably early April, and have had something like 8 cases all-in since then, it seems a bit mental to me.

    I honestly think I’ve just caught the kids cold and that’s had an impact on the test coming back positive.

    My observations from within the UK are that the more cut off / parochial an area is, the more of a petty tit they are about Covid. I'm sure that logic extends to our much-loved crown dependencies.

    There's false negatives but not false positives apparently.

    Got a letter in the post from the ONS about their infection survey. They're sending someone to my house to take blood and swab samples for current or previous infection. £50 voucher for taking part and then £25 for any subsequent optional tests. Pretty good deal really.

    Not that I've seen, just pulled that from BBC News. It was 6-8% a month or so ago though. I think I read that Herd immunity starts making a difference at around 60% so... yeah.

    We don't really know how many people had it, but if it was 5 million of us back in Spring then that'd be 1 in 13 and if it were 10m 1 in 6.5. Hard to know what those ratios would have been at their highest single moment in time too.

    Cheers. As I suspected, we're a long way enough any sort of herd immunity and a long way off the vaccine. Covid19 will still be with us in spring of next year I reckon. We'll be back to normal June at the earliest unless the government decides to return to normal with the situation similar to what it is now (which I doubt).

    I went to a lecture today by some big noise at Public Health England, and, as careful as he was to avoid saying so, you definitely got the impression he thinks we should have locked down in March until forever. Yeah right chief. Does your model account for fifty years of lost output?

    It's a real, real shame we couldn't just do 10 weeks of military rule in February and be done with it. Travel corridors with the Chinese, Vietnam and News Ealand.

    I was looking at the UK numbers this morning and they're bad. Not Spring bad (were those numbers available), but they're bad nonetheless.

    They’re closing the schools for an extra week along with the normal week at Halloween so it’s likely we’ll get the full on level 5 for that period.

    Another thing we should be doing is getting the Nightingales out of mothballs. Make them dedicated covid wards instead of facilitating spread throughout hospitals.

    We've not had a case yet and I know many other schools are the same. It's a difficult balance; the children need to be regularly reminded of what they need to do, but at the same time we don't want to over-egg the situation or else it takes over the day.

    We're quite parochial and there's a bit of skepticism amongst many parents from my experience. Every family's different, of course.

    Undergrad university is such a massive scam from top to bottom in this country, and covid has found them out just beautifully. The lazy criminals who get paid shitloads to run it need to be lined up for the firing squad.

    I've seen it described as Landlord slavery which initially made me lol, but it's hard to see it any other way. They were told to leave home in favour of student accommodation and have been locked up ever since with online lectures and China style food parcels.

    That Scottish MP really brass necking through this Covid scandal to cling on to her wages and pension as there likely won't be another election for ages, love to see it

    Edit: in world beating track and trace news, my mate just had his notification from track and trace that he needs to self isolate for 14 days. From 30th September

    This is doing the rounds on EduTwitter a lot at the moment:

    https://skwawkbox.org/2020/10/10/bre...-health-teams/

    If true, might explain why my school haven't had a confirmed case yet

    It's not often you see the Skwawkbox praising the government for its good ideas. Fair play.

    With numbers continuing to surge, have we not arrived at cases yet whereby places are now operating at x per 100k rates without any lockdown measures whilst some mining town was locked down a fortnight ago for a rate of about (x-200) per 100k? I'll have a look at data tomorrow at work but should be great banter when people cotton on to it.

    They really have painted themselves into a lovely corner with that premature shit. It's now either national lockdown or #clubsopen.

    They still drafting the national tier system still I presume too :*)

    Isn't Nottingham on about 800 per 100,000 now, with no local lockdown?

    Where's a list?
