Jeez—an explosive 968% spike in #COVID19 in just one week—where the G7 Summit recently took place (and many security planners arrived 2 weeks ago). Is this related to the #G7Cornwall #G7Summit2021? Hmm, but a ~1000% increase is not something seen everyday.

2) We can debate whether it’s because it started from a low base. But going up that fast is not normal at all. UK is very concerned about the spike there too. google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.…
3) Dr Ruth Goldstein said they were mainly Delta variant cases in under-30s.
Public health consultant, Dr Goldstein, said the rise was thought to be down to people from Cornwall travelling out and back during the school half-term break, as well as people coming in.

4) a number of hospitality venues in Cornwall confirmed they had closed after members of staff tested positive for Covid-19. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
5) While some say “It's too early for any G7-related coronavirus spread to be reflected in the latest confirmed cases” — we know there are countless security personnel and planners who arrive ahead of the govt leadership delegation.
6) We also know thousands of protestors and thousands of police also arrived recently to secure Cornwall for #G7Summit2021. google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…
7) Cornwall’s director of public health, Rachel Wigglesworth, accepted that holding such an event during a pandemic came with “clear public health challenges”. She said all attenders needed to provide a negative Covid result before they arrived & then do daily lateral flow tests.
8) “Cornwall council: “There will be no blind eyes turned when it comes to following the rules.”
All this may make things like dining arrangements tricky. How will the seven G7 leaders be able to eat together when no more than 6 people are allowed to meet indoors at a restaurant?

9) Meanwhile, the security operation is in full flow. About 6,500 police officers from across the UK are on duty, one-fifth of them ***housed on a cruise ship 🛳*** anchored off Falmouth. 👀 theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/m…
10) Can we just pause and say how stupid it is to house 1300 police officers on a cruise ship and then send them daily ashore and then come back to boat every day? Cmon folks.
