Well the figures are bound to be up we were in lockdown for 8 weeks and everybody was told to get a test symptoms or not and they set up the "no appointment" testing station under those circumstances did anybody really expect the figures to go down ?
Its totally mad that they havnt switched over to using the positive results as a %age of total tests taken that way if you get 200 positive tests out of 20k it means very little whereas if you got 200 positives out of 200 tests youre in deep trouble but under the current method it means exactly the same.
I would expect those making the decisions wont panic because they know in two weeks thse figures will drop thru the floor just as quickly as they went up.
Even being the hospital that provides cover for Blackburn and Pendle and to an extent parts of Bolton and Preston all areas in enhanched measures and with some of the highest rates in the country the Royal Blackburn are managing perfectly well and havnt seen a massive surge in admissions and definitely not in deaths despite the high figures.
