No. It's the AGs drafting team not the AG that write the legislation. They would also need to decide on what they want to do before the drafters can draft it though...

Your viewpoint as to it doesn’t matter as to timescale is both short sighted, idiotic and irresponsible. The decision to lock down or bring in measures won't be determined by genomics. The most important aspect is always going to be contract tracing. A generic test yielding results on Monday or Thursday isnt going to alter what we are doing.

Kopek Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 What they want to do is dependent on Comin. What I'm asking is, could they have locked down today if they, the Govt wanted to??? For what ever reason Comin decided, right or wrong? Is any delay down to legislation or the whim of Comin~? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the positive tests were this morning, we'd have the results in for Sunday morning. Within 24 hours is a figure given a number of times for urgent situations. Correlated in real-time with contact tracing, you're both making the best use of your contact tracing team, as well as narrowing any gaps they miss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important aspect is always going to be contract tracing. A generic test yielding results on Monday or Thursday isnt going to alter what we are doing. Genomics would explain whether the ‘unexplained’ cases are a new cluster or part of the known one. An unexplained cluster would lead to calls for a lockdown, rightly or wrongly. Tracing will only work if people can reliable remember where they were at certain times or certain days. Genomics will improve the efficiency of tracing. This has been explained multiple times. The quicker a genomics result is returned to complement the track/trace, the better. I don’t understand how this is so hard to comprehend? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally crass Sorry Terry, most of us saw it as humorous attempt lifting the the level of serious comment. Very non PC, of course but a little light relief from the serious comments, to which you have added, what? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes from 17th feb to 24th feb. and alot of Bus journeys . Driver maybe ?? Timings suggest not a school kid (to the school at 1520, away at 1900). Would be more than a couple of busses if it was a driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
