Also the EOTHO has in some cases just shifted trade from Thurs-Sat to Mon-Weds. It is a good idea, but its not benefited everyone. ---- On that note, what p*sses me off is the numerous reports of "no show" reservations. I know the restaurants could charge a non refundable deposit, but that's not the point. How hard is it to ring and cancel FFS.
Also bear in mind that EOTHO is being funded by the taxpayer.

No. Only if he gets symptoms. One of my wife’s colleagues, who lives in south Cerney, who works for the nhs had a high temperature. She went online to book a test and no word of a lie, they said the nearest test centre was in Fife. Some 160 odd miles away.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

Another question...
My missus has been selected at random to take part in one of these survey testing schemes, she had a test through the post and took it yesterday and has sent it back.
Now in the meantime since Monday she has not been at all well, we suspect (and our GP agrees via a telephone consultation) that she has had gastroenteritis (she's feeling better today), however, as C-19 can present this way the GP has recommended that she take a precautionary test which obviously she already had as part of the survey thingy.
The kicker is that the drive through tests can take 48 hours to come back, the survey ones say up to 2 weeks for results, should she/we be isolating as a precaution, little un is supposed to go back to School next week?

No harm in getting a drive through test is there?

I took a drive through test yesterday lunchtime and got the all clear at 0200 this morning. I would say it's better safe than sorry.

I'd double check that, as when I filled in the form it said that my local test station was a cool 365 miles away in some terrible part of Scotland, when I repopulated that form it gave me a much more convenient location 10 miles from my door in Bedford.

Its improving... ome 75.5% of close contacts of people who tested positive for Covid-19 in England were reached through the Test and Trace system in the week ending 19 August, according to new figures from the Department of Health.
This is up from 71.6% in the previous week.
For cases handled by local health protection teams, 95.6% of contacts were reached and asked to self-isolate, while for those handled either online or by call centre only, 61.6% of contacts were reached.
Sage, which advises the government, has said that at least 80% of contacts would need to isolate for the scheme to be effective.
You can read more about how contact tracing works here.

Nope, she has done the form, Preston it is!
