OK lets go for South Korea and Germany two heavily populated countries, how does the UK stack up against them ?.
Plenty of Pasties, Pie's, Sausage Rolls at Greggs for all those big fat English types then.

Doesn't start til Jun 8. It wouldn't bother me massively anyway but might as well get back beforehand than afterhand.

Maybe someone out there could help me out on this one,

Quote from the BBC

" estimates by the Office for National Statistics suggest there are currently 8,000 cases per day in England alone. Those figures do not include cases in care homes or hospitals"

If we have all been in lockdown for almost 10 weeks where the fuck are all these new cases coming from, about 500 new admissions to hospital per day !!!!! and up to 8000 new cases a day, these new cases must have caught it from someone or something ????, do you think they are new arrivals into UK as we have no travel restrictions or are they being infected in supermarkets, Buses, trains etc

Hope they are interviewing these new cases too see WTF they have been doing and where they have been.

Tracing 8,000 people per day? That's quite a task. With numbers like that contact tracing is out of the question.

But I guess the answer is pretty simple. Contracting the virus outside is extremely difficult so it seems, so these people must have contracted it in busy confined spaces.

The tube?
Trains?
Buses?
Illegal mass gatherings?

They are not.

I think they are just extrapolating the numbers, from 500 a day into hospitals, plus the results from the testing stations. This keeps the daily new infections high. Then add the many many people who get it and don't know about it, or suffer mild or even moderate symptoms and don't go near a doctor, hospital or testing centre.

Until we have mass testing, not just current infection but also for antibodies, we are in the dark.
