Back to school

Its my opinion on a football discussion forum. Everyone else can have an opinion why cant I? I was posing the question why have infection rates increased but hospital admissions not gone up? Is it due to the virus mutating, or us there a lag between infection and hospital admission not seen yet.

IMO,It's more likely to be the latter but IIRC you seemed to be claiming the former in a previous post.
 
The wife has been online since 1am trying to get a test for our son. I think its no more than a cold but the school headmistress goes way over the top if a kid so much as sniffs. No joy yet.
 
Our great niece got sent home from nursery because she coughed a few times. The child has asthma, it wasn't a new cough as she always coughs a bit with her asthma. She had no temperature but her nursery manager insisted she went home and didn't come back until she'd been tested.

That also meant her parents, who both work in schools, also had to isolate until the test result came back.

Of course it was negative, but this demonstrates the over reaction that exists in some settings. It's a NEW cough, not one for an existing condition.

I thought my kids symptoms were no more than a cold...

There are walk in test centres but you need to get there early...

Take him down near the water treatment works nr Priory Park for an ad hoc test on smell.
Then make him a drink with a salt instead of sugar additive for a taste test.
Job done?
Seriously though it is all a farce, how many a carrying and spreading covid without knowing it? How will scientists and doctors know more of the answers until more are tested; with and with out symptoms?

Good luck with that. A friend of mine had his daughter sent home in Brentwood and was offered Swansea or Inverness.
 
There is a walk in place on Short Street near Victoria Station.

Indeed, it was so mobbed it made the BBC news. Went I went to Range last Monday their normally 20% occupied car park was full, as there is very limited parking in the area.

P.S Dear Pubey don't bother quoting this post and saying its not true.

The testing facility at Short Street is NOT a walk IN centre it is a walk THROUGH centre. That means you don't have to attend in a car you can attend on foot.
Officially you do still need a booked appointment.

The walk in bit came from some people getting lucky and trying to get a test by just turning up and the testers used some spare capacity rather than turn them away, it was then put up on social media that you could just turn up...
Despite people being told that appointments were needed a lot of people decided to believe what they read from someone on social media rather than the official press releases...:Facepalm:

Thanks for clarifying.

Either way it was empty when I tipped up.
 
but the impact it could have on mother and child could be significant
Absolutely, who can say what damage could be caused to the foetus.
And how can a lady have a safe child birth while distancing? So good health is key.
Is the NHS not already under great strain.
What is so hard about sitting on a train, relax, breathe easily WITH a mask? It really isn't asking a lot.
