Nope, just means they haven't been investigated by the time the press release was released

Last 4 Saturdays had 156,174, 200 and today 142 in case numbers.

Good to have a full week without a reported death that hasn't happened since the first reported death on March 11th?

More private testing thrown in there, me thinks

A radio ad said GP consultation and test is free, is there also private testing too?

Right so you don't 'trust the experts' either. Cool

The 'experts' said it was a risk. The experts said to reduce your indoor contacts to 6 people from 3 households.

And if people did as asked we would have lower transmission rates.

Today is the first day since August 12th that we have had two successive days of increased numbers. Today's numbers are in-line with larger numbers we have seen reported for the previous three Saturdays so nothing can be drawn from today to suggest if the average numbers are starting to show a slight increase

But you have an alternative plan for opening schools. You aren't the only lockdown ultra who's prepared to second-guess 'the experts'.

Okay...Very well chap, have a nice day.

It would appear the scare mongering of lockdown strategy by Donnelly isn’t gona work.

Like a previous poster said schools are opened now so we will be hitting 250 cases a day soon.

Outlier

I mostly meant that a school is an indoor setting so the experts contradicted their own advice

No they didn't. They were quite clear that we needed close to 80% of us to reduce contacts so the remaining 20% could have a higher rate of contacts, thus reducing the overall contacts within the population.
