    Apparently the French are going to reduce the isolation period from 14 days to 7 days because people think it's too long.
    It seem it's very hard to get tests in France and results take several days to come through. Sound familiar?

    Up the EU, down with the British government :bandit:

    Maybe the UK would have higher positive cases if Boris Johnson hadn't messed up testing so much that he now has to get European countries to help.

    Official document shows that 9% of tests in Manchester are thrown straight in the bin.

    Government data shows 41,628 people have died of coronavirus in the UK, but separate figures published by the UK's statistics agencies claim there have now been 57,405 deaths registered nationwide with the virus on the death certificate.

    that'a ****ed up.

    The true figure (excess deaths) is closer to 64,000 but Boris has been deleting people on technicalities like if you haven't had a positive test in a UK hospital within 28 days of dying.

    I follow the stats on twitter.

    Another fun one is that the government's figures show that 5 million coronavirus tests have just vanished into thin air. They have no idea where they are.

    so because excess deaths is higher, you’re contributing that directly to Covid (for example had Covid)

    What other reason would more people be dying this year than last? Maybe Liverpool's title win had an effect on ABLs?

    If more people die from heart attacks because their hospital was understaffed because nurses still can't get covid tests and have to isolate, then for me that's still on how the coronavirus crisis is being handled.

    The Self Sacrifice of Eyam...

    During the bubonic plague outbreak of 1665, the inhabitants of Eyam quarantined themselves, in a famous act of self-sacrifice, to prevent the spread of the plague.

    The history of the plague in the village began when a flea-infested bundle of cloth arrived at a tailor's home from London - a city in the grip of the pandemic. Within a week, a tailor's assistant named George Viccars, who noticing the bundle was damp, had opened it up. Before long he was dead and more began dying in the household soon after. Then the neighbours.

    As the disease spread, the villagers turned for leadership to their rector, the Reverend Mompesson nd minister Thomas Stanley. They introduced a number of precautions to slow the spread of the illness. The measures included the arrangement that families were to bury their own dead. Perhaps the best-known decision was to quarantine the entire village to prevent further spread of the disease.

    The surrounding villages sent supplies that they would leave on marked rocks; the villagers then made holes there which they would fill with vinegar to disinfect the money left as payment.

    Villagers would come to place money in six holes drilled into the top of the boundary stone to pay for food and medicine left by their anxious neighbours.

    By the end of the outbreak, 273 people out 800-1000 had died of the plague. The plague, however, was contained.

    Confronted by mounting deaths, the village’s newly arrived priest, William Mompesson, was able – in an uneasy alliance with his ejected Puritan predecessor Thomas Stanley – to convince villagers that the right thing to do was quarantine the village, and face a high probability of death, rather than spread the plague.

    If I recall correctly, the events at Eyam were behind the origins of the nursery rhyme Ringa'ring of Roses .... "atishoo, atishoo we all fall down" ... also Gravesend in Kent got it's name from being the furthest place from London that the deaths stopped ...

    I don't know about 'Eyam' but I always thought the nursery rhyme like you was from the events of the great plague. However, I must have looked it up, around the time of the coronavirus lock-down back in March, and apparently it's not true. Although it was associated with it, it wasn't its origins.

    I can't be asked to read all this, but might be worth a browse if you can be bothered... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_a_Ring_o'_Roses
