daisy Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Just now, trmpton said: Why? What difference does it make? It is just a case of COVID. Welcome to the future. I have vulnerable parents - age and medical conditions.. I am at risk too - not because of obesity, old age or any of the other self contributory factors people seem to think acceptable to succumb to this disease!! ....but I would like to make an informed choice as to how I deal with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe - it could be the spreadsheet hasn't been updated... we are not out of the woods yet so until all that want/have had 2 jabs we should have all the info we need to ensure we make the right decisions to keep ourselves and others safe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that it should be removed as it obviously is causing concern for some who may think it is something sinister. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything marked as 'unknown' will be a cause for concern... this appears to be the one unknown local case from 26 April which by now should have either been linked to a cluster or not. If they cant get to grips with this one case can we believe any other data? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be hundreds of them over coming weeks and there were thousands this year and last. I am "vulnerable" I have had covid. That was before a vaccine. Now people are vaccinated we REALLY need to just crack on and gets our lives back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had covid too and I am struggling with long covid and vulnerable with a clotting disorder that isn't immediately life threatening I don't want to pop my paws just yet so I would appreciate as much accurate info as poss .. if you are happy to take your chances crack on .. all I want is accurate information .... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they test every person every day we won't get that. Likewise they need to report why people are actually in hospital, and what people die of. Never has happened and never will. So even if they started doing it now the data would be pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you are suffering obviously. But given you mention long covid I assume your unfortunate situation occurred before vaccinations were widespread, and so with all my sympathy for your situation have to say that your plight isn't really relevant to the situation in May 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a measles outbreak, or mumps, they tell you about it. Doesn't happen often, cos there's a high level of vaccinated immunity, but it does happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not necessarily suggesting slowing down opening borders etc......just for IOMG to make sure the data they post is accurate and relevant so that we can all make decisions that are relevant to our own situations. Added - And if unknown case truly is unknown rather than an Admin Officer not hitting 'refresh' on the spreadsheet I hope the delay in update is not because of sending sample to UK .....

But what data do you want? It won't be relevant to the current situation. If they said there were a thousand positive cases having tested all 85000 of us on one day is that a bad thing with the current level of vaccinations?
