20% reduction in the number of people who started treatment for cancer in the UK in August 2020 compared to August 2019. Be interesting to know what the numbers in Ireland are like.

What a fucking joke.
So thatās why weāre being locked down and just to rub it in weāre expected to contact our close contacts too.
In a way does that kind of shit show not really give the impression that in reality a much higher percentage of the country is probably riddled and living as per normal?

Mrs Mac was notified last Monday night through the app that she was a close contact. Still hasnāt heard from contact tracing. 12 other teachers impacted. 6 of them have had contact, the rest havenāt. The whole thing is broken.
They actually updated that this morning.
Shopping is on the list.

See this is the thing that really gets me.
This system is critical yet there is precious little communication other than to say that 100k tests have been done each week.
What I want to know is:
-
Is the testing strategic? At least trying to catch some asympthomatic ones?
-
How quick is the contact tracing? Can technology be greater used here to help?
-
Crucially, what is happening to suspected cases? Are they isolating as required? Can we make them isolate?
Itās my feeling that this is a shit show.

The colleague of mine that got it was working side by side with another colleague, so he felt symptoms on the Tuesday and got tested the following day because his son was part of that minor panel; the following Monday she still had to organise her own test for her own peace of mind. Contact tracing wasnāt on to her til the following day, a week on from yer man getting it.
4 ex health ministers in the current cabinet. No wonder weāre fucked

Stupid lazy bastards at the wheel yet again.
The childrenās ombudsman was on the radio during the week saying that speech and language therapists are not available to kids now because they have been reassigned to contact tracing. Itās literally ringing people from a list you are given. Itās an absolute fucking shitshow but what do you expect itās the same incompetents running the show that have been for years.
