Lots of sensible social distancing from the photographers, whom I assume some are from national media.

 

Also in the still picture the copper behind is wearing his cap at a jaunty angle

The swab test is a simple quick non-invasive (though slightly unpleasant) test for the presence of Coronavirus but it does have it's limitations. Virus particles must be present in the area sampled and they must transfer to the swab for the test to be effective. This is not always the case as the virus particles could be in the lower respiratory tract, not the upper from where the test is taken. It is also believed the virus could lie dormant within cells where it is harder to detect.

Does have quite a high false neg rate though doesn't it. Mostly due to the sampling technique as you allude too. We had a study at work the other day. 300 of us swabbed. Supposedly all negative.

Sure! I'm a bit proud to be honest! He covered lots of stuff. So there is some footage from the poll tax riots. Think two bits - a police car getting a scaffold bar through the window and a horse rearing up on a protester. Both filmed by my dad. It's a while since I've seen the film so that might not be exact but that's what I remember. Got quite a surprise when I saw the film at the cinema!

Why do folk keep misspelling "borders" these days?    I see it regularly on certain forums, not this one though. Or are you talking about staying in B&B ?  Am I missing something?

Sorry ma'am. That's me told. Nope. just missing a letter 'a' before B&B. Or are you talking about staying inside an actual breakfast? That could get messy.

If you think 6 months in jail is appropriate for breaking quarantine then you need to take a hard look in the mirror.

👍 I never did say I agree with the length of jail time. It just highlighted how relaxed our government has been about it. Which in turn will delay the lockdown further because nobody bothered to pay it any attention anyway thus pushing the daily stats up.

I agree! They are on the frontline and dealing with loads abuse at the moment worse thing is there families and children and suffering as well! A police officer has just spent 7 days in isolation and his wife and two young children have spent 14 days! How do you explain to a 4yr old who can manage the rules his dad can’t put him to bed because someone didn’t! Horrific thing is he was spat at and It could be a lot worse than minor symptoms!

Staying in bed much preferable to staying in breakfast.
