Local Outbreak.

Hi

Once again, meat plants.

https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/...nty-meat-firm/

The Shrewsbury plant is walking distance of my house, and a lot of the 700 workers live and shop locally.

They have only just started testing there, so a lot more cases expected.

Re: Local Outbreak.

Somebody or some persons are doing something they shouldn't be hence why they are getting infected and not letting on they are infected until others are infected and get ill and it is THEM who inform the bosses that something is wrong.

Chilled plants one presumes, look out when winter comes.

Re: Local Outbreak.

Is it the fact they are chilled plants then? Hubby and I were discussing this the other day, trying to work out why meat processing plants are becoming the centre of outbreaks - is it the cold, does the virus last longer on raw meat or chilled meat, is it something that's in the atmosphere ...

Take care when you are out and about Swimmy .

There is a definite pattern emerging with regard to the virus and cold food preparation, Anglesey , Tipton, Sandwell now Shrewsbury and similar problems in Germany.

As Caricaure says 'look out for the winter'

The hot spell of weather with people spending time outdoors and the lockdown may have given a false impression that we are controlling the virus when it has just been suppressed for now except in those places where it can naturally flourish and poor practice allows it to do so.

Re: Local Outbreak.

Am I right in thinking that meat plants would have air conditioning? Surely that could be the cause of the local outbreaks (recirculating air).

Hi

Thanks for that.

It is temperature related.

Shrewsbury produces 2 Million packs of meat a week.

ABP are not idiots, they have done everything right, at great cost to themselves.

The virus spreads much easier at cold temperatures.

Re: Local Outbreak.

Whitehall not sharing Covid-19 data on local outbreaks, say councils

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...s-say-councils

More than a month after being promised full details of who has caught the disease in their areas, local health chiefs are still desperately lobbying the government’s testing chief, Dido Harding, to break the deadlock and share the data.

The situation was described by one director of public health as a “shambles”, while a scientist on the government’s own advisory committee said it was “astonishing” that public health teams are unable to access the information.

Councils are asking for real-time information about who has tested positive, down to the names and contact details of individuals, and failing that by street, postcode, or catchment area of 1,500 people. However, most are only receiving a daily feed of aggregate community test results for the entire upper tier local authority, i.e. the county.

The warning about data comes after directors said they also remained unclear about whether local authorities will have the power to instigate local lockdowns or whether these decisions will be taken at a national level.
Anything to do with Dido and data will always be a shambles - with TalkTalk, she allowed unfettered access, with Testing, Tracking and Tracing, she's not allowing data access to those who need to know .....

Where the "hotspots" are and what shape the patterns are taking are largely unknown, even to the "professionals" .....

I agree with both the hi-lighted parts Meg.
They said ages ago that cold temperatures weren't killing it, and it may die down when the weather heated up in the summer, which is exactly what's happening.

I think it has naturally eased off because of this, and has little to do with government guidelines.

I really do fear it is only waiting for the right conditions to return.
