    Prof. Nolan: "I disagree that numbers are going up. Transmission is being supressed with some clusters superposed. Realistically, numbers have gone up for 1 day."

    Somewhat reassuring to see detection and isolation in action. The worry is how easy will it be to keep the cat in the bag if there are more clusters than outbreak teams to control them. If we start to get unexplained outbreaks then it’s harder to contain.

    You can actually hear the fear in George Lee's voice.

    George Lee is asking some terrible questions, literally looking for the CMO to scare.

    Well it's what he lives for.

    Half of the cases were asymptomatic yesterday.Temperature checking will just mitigate risk not eliminate it

    Yes of course but also showing that some workplaces not exactly adhering to best practices with such a serious outbreak

    CMO: "We are very concerned."

    I don't know how that translates into "CMO says everything is grand."

    If today shows one thing it's that some factory owners are still clearly not taking enough precautions.

    Yup that's the point I've been trying to make. Asymptomatic or not, its quite clear that having at least 40 staff infected in a factory shows serious failings

    Zero chance schools will be opening at full capacity in 4 weeks time. The virus is on the march again and we haven't even reached Autumn never mind Winter.

    He literally said he hopes for schools to open, cases are not going up, contact tracing is working. What does that translate to?

    Dr. Glynn also said there have been no known cases linked to house parties in the past week.

    Likewise no known outbreaks related to restaurants / pubs

    CMO: "It doesn't appear that today's cases are a sign of increased community transmission"

    I haven't read all of the recent comments but is there a County by County breakdown of the reported 85 Cases ?

    Thanks.

    Since they reopened, thankfully no cases have been associated with them. Touch wood, it stays that way

    I'm actually feeling very confident in our response after tonight's press conference, more so than I have been for the last week.


    We are WELL on top of this.

    He also said wait and see what happens tomorrow and that they think it will fall to 20 cases a day.
