Interesting thread - not sure it’s the right place - nor if I agree on the 2.5 million - given there’s 170 k in 6 months it would take More than 5 years To reach that number?

Royal Cornwall Hospital, aka Treliske, in Truro, is reporting that they have no Covid19 inpatients. For a hospital that's always on "black alert" in the winter, and with concerns about the summer influx of tourists, this is good news.

Can you tell me where to find that in the app please? Can't seem to find it.

Help slow the spread of #COVID19 and identify at risk cases sooner by self-reporting your symptoms daily, even if you feel well ��. Download the app https://covid.joinzoe.com/
So, he thinks Covid would look better with fewer tests, whereas gun crime would be better with more guns? Let me make a mental note of that.....
Only seems to work on iPhone.
Bit disappointed to see that (presumably) colleagues of mine think data 'is'.

Needs Google account. Do you think I'm made of money?
Google accounts are free.
Also, if you have an Android phone, don't you need a Google account to any app at all from Google Play?
I probably have a Google account but I have issues with passwords, and am trying to limit the amount of stress getting asked for passwords I have forgotten causes me.
Anyway I have a feeling that my nemesis, Professor Sir XXXXXXXXX is leading on that research, with the single main purpose of airing the sails of his elevation to the House of Lords. Call me a cynic....
I'll get the missus to sort it out for me. Looks like a useful data dredge. Thanks for the links.

Yes.
Not sure where to put this:

Seems like good news if the positives are lower?

Thanks for all the answers about the Covid app. I have had the app since it appeared. I just cannot find the local data that [MENTION=12101]Mellotron[/MENTION] described.
For me the good news remains the same. Death rates are massively down. ICUs are virtually empty. Once again (so only good news re cv19) you probably have more chance of dying on a motorway this weekend.
The stats are meaningless, mostly. Everyone's "busking". But every day is a day nearer a cure / further easing of lockdown / vaccine or all three. And every day with a lower UK death number is a good day.

looks like the weird "science" we have now that makes lots of statements, presents some data that dont match the headline. shows 0.8% rate of false positives, far better than range of other virus. i'll take those odds. false negatives of 25%, not so great, we know this is largely due to poor samples.
