820 positive cases. (288,953 total)

Both are are an increase on last Saturday.

What are the other signs.
I see @_johnbye has been looking at the same data as me and noticed the same odd progression esp in Pillar 2.

Although the numbers adjust today are small compared to earlier this week when tens of thousands have been moved around.
Here is @_johnbye taking up we here I leave off.

England has a population approx 6 times that of the three remaining U.K. countries.

We had 147 times the deaths recorded today.

Wales had 1.

England had 147

Wales & Scotland had 7 new cases each. The remaining 806 new cases were England

'So much worse than I expected': one worker's time at a virus-hit farm | Environment | The Guardian

So far 73 positives, many asymptomatic,

200 workers. 37 mobile homes.

That is between 5 and 6 people per mobile home. theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/j…
They are living on top of one another.

But I have a question. How long has the outbreak gone on if she worked for them for 3 weeks and only had to spend the first in quarantine.

That suggests somewhere 15 -21 June.

Yet the spike is only showing up in test data yesterday
Most of the workers were from Bulgaria and Romania. Karen (not her real name) was one of three English female packers, who shared one of the 33 mobile homes on the site at a cost of £50 each per week.

We’ve been watching “The Second Wave’ of COVID Hits Israel Like a Tsunami, losing all its early gains.

During the 6 wasted weeks, schools were chaotically reopened and then, as infections soared, re-shuttered.

Sounds awfully familiar thedailybeast.com/the-second-wav…
“Parents were unable to foresee reentering the workforce. The public was instructed to wear masks—but no system of enforcement was put into place. The lists of permitted and prohibited activities shifted daily, with little or no explanation.”

Oh yes. Very familiar.
While Netanyahu actively pursued his (since scuttled) dream of annexing significant parts of the occupied West Bank, the number of Israelis diagnosed with CV-19 multiplied by 499%

Why?

Because he is an asshole who ignored his Chief Epidemiologists’ advice, driving her to resign

What an EXTRAORDINARY admission of our testing system

But foretold

“There's a growing recognition that we may never know for sure what happened with many of those early tests.

"We will probably never know how many people have been tested for the virus." news.sky.com/story/coronavi…
2/ Before I proceed to set out the main points from this excellent piece of reporting from @EdConwaySky bear this in mind this.

This pigs ear was forseen given the way the government set about commissioning expanded testing.
3/ They did not grasp they were commissioning information as much as tests

We need to find out, BEFORE the next procurement (@JolyonMaugham @justinmadders ) how much it would have cost to second University scientists to NHS Labs with more batch processing equipment.
