Schools started reopening early May subject to strict hygiene measures and face masks, despite which schools seem to have been driving the recent spike in infection leading to 118 new infections over the past 24 hours, the largest rise since 2nd May.
The number of active cases ticked up to 2,191, with 17,495 infections recorded since the start of the pandemic.

Thousands more may have died with coronavirus without being diagnosed

Well done ⁦@PaulBrandITV⁩

There needs to be a spotlight in this.
GPs who certify death in a public health emergency need to have a hard look at themselves
No data. No certainty itv.com/news/2020-06-0…
If no tests because the Gov won’t provide them even when a GP orders one, then they should be erring on the side of caution. Symptoms? Then COVID.

Because without it the true extent of the spread and the emergency is hidden until too late.

Which is exactly what has happened.
This is basic science. If we do not know what is going on it takes longer to solve a problem and more people will die avoidably as a result.

In this instance mostly without palliation because GPs would not attend.

This, too, needs to be scrutinised in a Public Inquiry. Image

14th day no total people tested.

357 deaths today (more than double yesterday)
40,261 total. 14.2% CFR

1650 +ve (283,311 total) but we cannot say of how many people tested due to lack of those data in pillar 2.

21,109 PEOPLE tested under pillar one.
76,608 DIAGNOSTIC tests done (ie the sort that tell us where the virus is spreading then track, trace & transmission broken)

Far less than the 207,231 tests claimed

83,012 were posted out,
42,899 are P3 serology (NOT diagnostic)
4,712 are P4 surveillance (NOT diagnostic). ImageImage
I forgot to add the photo of the Pillar 1 labs.

The PHE/NHS labs.

The sort that GPs and local Public health can actually get results from to help break transmission once positives identified.

Unlike Pillar 2 labs. Image

Cambridge UNI and PHE study suggests 17k new infections a day UK wide (a LOT more than the ONS study of ⬇️6k). We need to get to the bottom of the variation.

NW likely above R0=R1 and SW likely on R1.

We need that Pillar 2 test data urgently by Postcode mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/now-casting/
At 17k a day new infections and assuming a 14 day infection period that would mean c 238k infected people at any one time and 127k of them in the higher transmission period. Image
Even in the areas where the median level is below one in most, if not all it has risen in the last few weeks to bring R0 perilously close to 1.

East, London, Midlands and South East are all at 0.9 or above.

No room to manoeuvre Image
