How do you fake Ebola ? Surely it would be confirmed by testing ?

From wikipedia-

 

In 2016, the Nursing and Midwifery Council initiated proceedings against Cafferkey, alleging that she had allowed an incorrect temperature to be recorded during the screening process upon returning to the UK from Sierra Leone in 2014. Following a two-day hearing in Edinburgh during September 2016, the charges against Cafferkey were dismissed and she was cleared of any wrongdoing. The disciplinary panel was told that she had been impaired by illness at the time and heard evidence about how the Public Health England screening centre at Heathrow Airport had been unprepared for a large influx of passengers and that it was "busy, disorganised and even chaotic". BBC Scotland reporter Philip Sim wrote: "It now seems as if the case against Pauline Cafferkey had fallen apart before the hearing even began - raising questions as to why she had to go through it in the first place"

It's moronic. Two to three more weeks and we could have finally got on top of this. Now after VE Day and Johnson's ridiculous speech on sunday, there'll likely have to be another substantial lockdown which ends up costing much more. False economies yet again from these idiots.

The slight increase, based on calculations done by six research groups, is being attributed to cases in care homes and hospitals accounting for a greater proportion of the overall total.

It is too soon after the easing of the lockdown for increased movement of people to show up in the data.

I'm not sure that the Daily Mail fully understands what unions do? 

 

Oh, and after the get back to work but avoid public transport message, London is bringing the congestion charge back into effect and raising it from £11.50 a day to £15.

 

Jesus. Who the fuck can afford to pay £15 a day, on nothing?

Aye, as I said above, the last week's bollocks is only going to make things even worse.

The cynic in me makes me wonder why they didn't figure out this increase in the R number before they loosened the lockdown restrictions. 

 

It'll probably go higher again too, when the effect of the loosened restrictions kick in. But, they've given people their taste of "freedom" now. Good luck putting that genie back in the bottle.

But what about now people understandably don't want to pack like sardines into bat aids tubes?


The central zone isn’t massive, so it’s not applied to the vast majority of London. So you can park up and walk in without much effort. If you’re disabled or live within you’re exempt anyway, so it’s mainly for commercial reasons to stop the stupid amount of delivery lorries which drive in through the day and clog things up.
