monasqueen Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 But surely you don't count anything over the weekend, and on Monday all the testing gets caught up with, then Tuesday gives you the figures for 3 days? A rather simplistic view I know, and doesn't explain anything, but realistically, I don't think you can take too much notice of today's count. See what it looks like tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testing gets done and the numbers released on a week round basis so it shouldn't make a difference. But there may be a Monday effect (people may have had a LFD test over the weekend and book a test for the Monday). As ever and as you say, we ought to be very cautious about a single day's figures anyway. The same may apply to hospital numbers as well - it may be easier to discharge people on a Monday than over the weekend, especially if they require support.

hissingsid Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I think the figures are suspect a lot of people who don’t have to prove anything to their workplace are just staying in for 10 days or whenever they get a negative on the lateral flow, I don’t blame them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 5 in hospital now as against 8 yesterday Been a load of cases in a class at a secondary school so could be them and some of their family testing positive as well. At least numbers in hospital are down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course LFTs have a place. However, while they are free, people will stockpile and dispose of ad we saw the other week. If they just started charging, say, £1 per test, people would not stock pile and the situation would be taken more seriously. Withregard to your own situation, dl you really think it would have been wise to visit you 89 year old Dad when you were feeling off colour? Regardless of Covid?
