I think you only get a test if you show symptons, outside of NHS, Care Workers etc. I agree with your point though
If its only symptoms, that's where the whole thing falls down.

I think so. I may be out of date on that and the guidelines may have changed. I hope so, what you suggest makes total sense.If its only symptoms, that's where the whole thing falls down.
All sensible points mate, but I don’t know if the size of the room, distance from the “infected”, what they touched, if they went the toilet 30 seconds (whatever), matter or are taken into consideration when they track and trace.
It might be as black and white as you were there for the same time as them and that’s it.?
How much longer is the nonce expected to be in there for ?As of this morning we are a Covid free hospital. Last patient discharged and no new admissions. Nonce in ICU for a month now. Lull before the storm no doubt but a lot of debriefing going on especially amongst the consultants on their treatment regimes and management on PPE ordering and storage, escalation areas and which areas we keep as Covid free and hot Covid zones. Hopefully at least when the next wave comes while it'll still be full on and hard every day we'll have some salient knowledge behind our decisions
DOH - sweaty fingers slipping. None in ICU!!!!!How much longer is the nonce expected to be in there for ?
Did you mean (1/2)at^2? Of course my simple sum might not apply to fluid mechanics and airflowIn terms of all the variations of virus spread I'd expect there to be a blanket, "you were there," reason behind notifications.
For example, is there aircon or blowers in the building? If a sneeze, or even breath, leaves the body at 'x' feet per second, what happens if there's aircon or 'y' number of air exchanges per hour.
The basic calculation of how far a sneeze can travel is fairly straightforward. If S=ut+1/3at(squared), and a sneeze travels at.... think early in the thread I worked it out at 30 feet, without factoring in gravity. Add in your in a pub with zero air exchanges, no aircon, and you get an idea of how vague the guidelines might really be.

Why are you so sure there will be another wave? To my mind now we know far more of what we're dealing with, how it transmits, how best to treat it and how to prevent it spreading surely we are in a far better position to stop a second wave than we were this time last year when everyone wrote it off as a touch of flu?

Whether we can get away without a national lockdown and whether government has learned the lessons from the way it handled the initial outbreak remains to be seen
Whatever happens with a second wave I just cannot see there being a national lockdown again, the economy wouldn't cope with it and I doubt many would comply. We have to maintain the distancing, the masks and whatever else it takes to keep it in check but a lockdown would cause irreplaceable damage to the country IMO.
Indeed why I hesitated to suggest that you'd got it wrong...you might have been including such as a simple approximation to the impact of the Coriolis force.Yes it should read 1/2... dyslexic fingers. The 3 vectors of force equations are some of the few I remember from O Level physics. What they don't take into account is air resistance.
Mum mum has had to go into a Care Home. We were not allowed to inspect, visit or choose. We've not been allowed to visit.
On the plus side, the Home are demonstrating serious rigour in keeping their residents safe.
That's a tough one. I guess they have a good reputation.Mum mum has had to go into a Care Home. We were not allowed to inspect, visit or choose. We've not been allowed to visit.

The only otherway is a really tough crackdown on those groups creating a wave. We have been very easy going on offenders in the UK but that may need changing dramatically.HID in the NHS and all of them expecting/preparing for a second wave. We may be in a better position, but they see data differently to us. Unlikely last time, no one wants/expects a full lockdown. There are many factors in play here - weather, clarity of govt rules, the great british common sense, etc etc. This will continue till they have a vaccine or other drug on the shelf
