Yeah, I can attest to that, unfortunatelyThere were anecdotal comments on here of people testing positive, whose most likely contact was a Euro night out at the pub. Most were 3-4 days after.

Virus tests per daySomething is happening as I said before, some people are saying its school holidays, some say its people not testing, but the figures are down around 55% in one week, when most experts said they were heading for between 100,000 and 200,000.
May be the figues will shoot up later this week after July 19th opening up, but it feels they are on a down trend at present.
Has anyone got the figures for how many people are tested every day.
Pretty much most of the guys I follow on twitter, who seem to know what they're on about seem to think we got to 45-50k due to an artificial bump from the Euro's, and I 100% agreee with that. Now I think we're just heading to where we would have been without that. It's hard to tell where that natural level would have been and it's likely not going to get time to settle before the impact of the 19th starts to take effect, which will more likely be ina week or so's time.Something is happening as I said before, some people are saying its school holidays, some say its people not testing, but the figures are down around 55% in one week, when most experts said they were heading for between 100,000 and 200,000.

Yes. Set to more likely give a false negative so false positives are less likely.Thats fascinating bear. The LFD tests give false negatives, am I recalling that correctly? It seems to me that cases are falling because PCR tests are falling... Or is it less people are asking for PCR tests?
I would imagine tests fall naturally once the virus is less prevalent. However the tests seem to drop off at a time when we were at a peak of positive test
very curious.
Possibly fewer people with symptoms, let's hope so.Yes. Set to more likely give a false negative so false positives are less likely.
PCR tests have fallen off a little since mid-July. Fewer people with symptoms?

I doubt this very much. You might have misinterpreted opal being upset because they don't believe the figures?There are people on twitter who are genuinely upset that cases are falling.
Oddly enough, I sort of understand that in a perverse sort of way. There is fascination in how much we can screw up the human race. Too many apocalypse movies perhaps?There are people on twitter who are genuinely upset that cases are falling.
I do too using the same train of thought.Oddly enough, I sort of understand that in a perverse sort of way. There is fascination in how much we can screw up the human race. Too many apocalypse movies perhaps?
Who? Any one of the "big names" or just random trolls etc?There are people on twitter who are genuinely upset that cases are falling.
I think it’s because it’s so virulent: infect too many people and a virus runs out of steam. As insane as it sounds letting it flood in from India may long term have been a good strategy. Get the wave over with. We did that with beta in January. Our peak was before everyone else because it mutated hereI was taking to some american colleagues who are now concerned about the delta variant. We seem to be following the same path as India where the delta variant just seems to burn out quickly, for whatever reason.
It may be it just had a short shelf life. Let's hope. If not then we are in for a difficult winter.
Which may be true but we have created the perfect conditions for a vaccine resistant strain. Which I imagine is everyone's primary concern in heavily vaccinated countries.I think it’s because it’s so virulent: infect too many people and a virus runs out of steam.
