Outrageous to suggest the Lab fiasco (combined with very lax Covid rules courtesy of this Gov) did not negatively impact my town.
People thought the rates were falling. 8.6% positivity end August.
Down to 2.1% in Mid Sept.
🦠18.9% on 18 Sept‼️‼️‼️

Quite apart from returning to school & work thinking they were negative they were mingling in large numbers for over a week at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, spilling into bars & cafés
“I’ve got that stinking cold that’s going around”

Even in the January peak our highest positivity levels were around 11.2%.
But a combo of adequate testing and effective measures pulled that down.
The idea that a negative PCR does not negatively impact infectious conduct is utterly ludicrous
No point in testing at all if so

Meanwhile hospital admissions crept up whilst cases were supposedly falling.
Nothing like as bad as the January peak. But real human impact.
2-9 Sept we had 47. ↙️
So 10-17 Oct we had 95 hospital admissions.↘️
So they doubled.
