Still wicked high. That may see restrictions going on for a bit longer.

Does anyone have experience of testing. I have raised temp for the last few days, but no other symptoms. I'm going to phone GP tomorrow about testing but not sure if I fit the criteria. I am self isolating in the mean time. Keeping apart from family members, no food shopping etc

Has the criteria for testing changed. I dont think a temp is enough to get a test. Think you need to have a caught also

This is exactly it. How can anything reopen when the testing criteria hasn't even changed, so we have absolutely no picture of what the spread of this is like in the community.

They have repeatedly told us so. Do you watch the news and press conferences or read the papers?

We are not in lockdown. There are restrictions. It is not like in other places where one would be allowed out only with a permit etc. Children in Spain for example will be allowed out tomorrow for one hour closely supervised outdoor exercise after being not allowed out since March 14th. This " lockdown" is quite mild compared to elsewhere.

If the lockdown in Spain is so much stricter than ours how come they are still getting huge amounts of new cases each day?

Just arrest them

Duke of Url · 26-04-2020 05:48PM

The breakdown on spread is clearly incorrect.

Nearly every day they have stated 4% is in relation to travel.

They can’t be referring to the 701 cases.

All-time total of 4%, so the travel cases date from the beginning of the outbreak.

Yeah just try that and see the civil unrest that kicks off. People are reaching the end of their limits now, something has to be eased on May 5th.

Thing is we are in lockdown for 5 weeks now.Apart from the nutsing homes how is this spreading in the community

People flouting the restrictions, letting their kids play with other kids thinking 'kids arent at risk' but then one kid gets it from another and passes it on to their household, transmission in supermarkets, essential workers picking it up and passing it on to family, transmissions in hospitals, delayed testing results from older cases too.

maybe arrests would provide the necessary deterrent. We are allowed outside over here (unlike Italy and Spain) but we are apparently reaching the end of our limits. I think we're just soft and irresponsible

jobeenfitz · 26-04-2020 05:57PM

Great news for us on lockdown in Spain. We are all gonna be allowed go out for a walk/exercise from next week.

I feel like Frank Gallagher, when the pills started to work again.

Well Gemma and John havent done much yet with the civil unrest so not really a problem.

Lemonzero · 26-04-2020 05:58PM

Agsin.does anyone have the % of the cases that are community based (ie not nursing home)

They will know from contact tracing, if a person had been in contact with any other known case. If there's no link with a previous case, then it is classified as a community acquired.

Yep but they had 6400 cases yesterday. Roughly 9 times ours which lines up pretty well with the difference in population.

They do have a stricter lockdown to us but I think their higher population density seems to be offsetting it.

ACitizenErased · 26-04-2020 06:01PM

Question, does anyone know why community transmission increased by 15% overnight?

Saturday:

of those for whom transmission status is known: community transmission accounts for 48%, close contact accounts for 48%, travel abroad accounts for 4%

Today:

of those for whom transmission status is known: community transmission accounts for 63%, close contact accounts for 33%, travel abroad accounts for 4%

Additional 500 cases monitored =/= 15%.....
