Re: Coronavirus: Second wave of Covid-19 coming to UK, says PM

Hi

Our local infection rate in Shropshire shot up yesterday following the huge reporting of positive tests.

The system is not working properly.

There's obviously been some massive mismangement of data if thousands of recorded cases have gone missing and then reappeared - it's about time that Harding's head rolled .....

It certainly doesn't sound as if it is working properly. I wonder how many more areas are under reported!

An issue was identified overnight on Friday 2 October in the automated process that transfers positive cases data to PHE. It has now been resolved.

The cases by publish date for 3 and 4 October include 15,841 additional cases with specimen dates between 25 September and 2 October — they are therefore artificially high for England and the UK.

UK Summary

Cases in United Kingdom

Daily 22,961

Total 502,978
The "real" daily figures are not (yet) available but, if my calculations are correct, there were 19,992 new cases, in total, for Saturday and Sunday, 3rd and 4th October .....

So, TWO shocking "milestones" reached in the course of the current pandemic:

https://www.itv.com/news/2020-10-04/...counting-fault

Public Health England (PHE) said its investigation into the issue with the government’s coronavirus dashboard identified 15,841 cases which were not included in daily reports between September 25 and October 2.

Michael Brodie, the interim chief executive at Public Health England, said: "Every one of these cases received their Covid-19 test result as normal and all those who tested positive were advised to self-isolate.

"NHS Test and Trace and PHE have worked to quickly resolve the issue and transferred all outstanding cases immediately into the NHS Test and Trace contact tracing system".
The delay in entering nearly 16,000 extra positive test results onto the test and trace system means that the recent contacts of those 16,000 were not immediately followed up.

Estimates regarding the spread of the virus will now have to be recalculated and policies readjusted.

Any public confidence left in T, T & T will surely have evaporated after the previous "downturn" in figures and and now an "upturn", both measured in their thousands .....

Only half of 'missing' cases contacted by contact tracers

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-54382914

Health Secretary Matt Hancock said as of 9am today, 51% of the previously "missing" 15,481 cases had been contacted a second time, for contact tracing purposes. They had already been contacted once when they found out they had tested positive.

"I want to reassure everyone that every single person that tested positive was told that result in the normal way in the normal timeframe," he said. "They were told that they needed to self-isolate, which is of course now required by law.

"However, these positive test results were not reported in the public data and were not transferred to the contact tracing system."
So that still leaves half of the "positives" contacts untraced after a week, when, of course, many of them will have been infecting others .....

Labour: 'This is worse than a shambles'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-54382914

Labour's Jonathan Ashworth had some strong words for Health Secretary Matt Hancock in the House of Commons.

"At one of the most crucial points in the pandemic, we learn almost 16,000 positive cases went unreported for a week," he said. "That means as many as 48,000 contacts not traced and isolating, thousands of people blissfully unaware they've been exposed to Covid, potentially spreading this deadly virus at a time when hospital admissions are increasing and we are in the second wave. This isn't just a shambles. It's so much worse than that. It gives me no comfort to say it, but it's putting lives at risk."
The shambles has become a debacle .....
