I've now heard of 3 seperate positive cases in people I know in the last 24hrs.

I think the numbers are at least double per day of what's being reported.

Same, I've a friend who has it, and his parents, sister, sisters OH and his uncle all now have it too. What I couldn't believe was when his mother tested positive, he told his boss (because he's a close contact of his mother as he still lives at home) and asked if he should inform the 5 or 6 other people he had been in contact with in work, and his boss said "wait until you test positive then we will tell them. Don't want to cause panic". God forbid they might be told theres a high chance they're infected and be allowed to make informed decisions about going to Tesco or visiting their granny

Whats the current backlog?

600+ people in hospital with Covid too.

The way its going it will top the April highs in hospital early this month. The main hope is that we don't get close to the death count of April.

What's the real case numbers for today? I take it loads were added on?

Swabs were 4502 so cases announced are actually lower.

We have a bigger backlog now.

This is a good graph to show the difference- albeit excludes today

Louth is looking in bad shape too. The smallest county up there with the worst figures.

Before the contract tracing stopped how far did they go to?? Just people in direct contact with a positive case?

Backlog of about 10,000
