Seems she got frisky with someone who was positive... Hopefully it turns out to be false result. But I know of two people that have been part of contact tracing this afternoon as a result too. Not one to cast doubt but...

I wonder how many of those with symptoms got tested because they had symptoms and how many got tested for some other reason, found out they were positive and then when asked went “oh, now you mention it, I did have the shits/was a bit warm/sneezed/coughed the other day” The only statistics we should be interested in our hospital admissions and any deaths. From the outset I always thought that the level of asymptomatics would be much higher than was being reported, simply because of the lack of testing (UK in particular). Had these folk been identified earlier then they would have had to isolate. No questions or excuses. If asymptomatics are found outside of isolation then they deserve to get the book thrown at them.

Well according to the official IOM Government Twitter account, the two new cases today are isolating and not in the community. I have very good reason to doubt this.

I think Allinson and his 'not if but when' is really a sign of things to come but hopefully they prove to be false positive.

Gladys 6,760 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 No community cases but they were late in the daily announcement, so perhaps there was further clarification needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But proper diagnoses done here (rather than daft people sending off for home test kits) won't be false positives - at most they return an uncertain result and are re-tested. And I am horrified that someone sharing with a person supposed to be self-isolating would be working anywhere near a nursing home. I can't help wondering if "Isolated individual (non-community)" is being taken to mean that they are isolating now, rather than ever since returning from UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can foresee the briefing tomorrow when Mr Ashford states that he acknowledges they aren't reporting this correctly and are now quoting a new section 'Now in isolation' but it still isn't a community case, if it is/was (no proof of such right now).
