Error in reporting UK Covid19 statistics...

THIS week we have been informed that issue was identified overnight, on Friday, 2 October 2020, in the way both Public Health England and NHSX have automated and processed that transfers of positive cases data to PHE data base. According to Public Health England, this issue has now been resolved. But, it now means the numbers of cases publish date for 3 October and 4 October 2020 included 15,841 additional cases, with specimen dates between 25 September and 2 October 2020, and they are therefore artificially high for England and the UK. This brings into question how much faith we can have in the reporting system and again goes to undermine confidence in both the media and Government, when reporting of the issues we face, when dealing with this virus. Plus, we are also hearing increasing reports that people are struggling to get tests within the Liverpool City Region, we some reports that people are being sent to Balton and even Birmingham. This along with reports of people being sent to Scotland and the South Coast, last week make for very worrying reading. What are your thoughts on this issue? Email your views to:- News24@SouthportReporter.Com about this topic and also if please do let us know if you have been told to travel outside the Region for a test...


Covid19 Vaccine is not a quick fix

THE idea a Vaccine will solve the effects of the Pandemic has become widely seen as a solution or a quick fix, but realistically it will take far longer than people realise, to get back to normality. If a vaccine is found, most health experts say that more than likely take at lease a year for the vaccine to be distributed to the UK population in a best case scenario. Also a report published by the Royal Society calls for media and politicians to be "realistic" and "couscous" about saying what could be achieved and when or even if a vaccine is rolled out.
