Most recent T&T data now out, covers 4th - 10th Feb

By contrast, PCR test use for people with symptoms fallen week on week for the past month (PHE positivity data due later).

Need to mitigate any unintended harm, esp around jobs

That's 106k cases.


Both these percentages are similar to previous weeks.


Worth noting that given lockdown, 87% of identified contacts were household contacts of which 97% were reached, this compares with 71% of non-household contacts.
These percentages reached have all been similar since start of Dec.


Local teams generally pick up cases that can't be reached by the national team within 24hrs and their role may become ever more important as case numbers fall.

Room for improvement but definitely not getting worse.

Everyone needs to be confident they will have the support needed if testing positive, and that their job – however insecure – will not be put at risk.

Through "childcare programs in schools". We see this all over states w/ closed schools.
We need to grasp that the AFT, NEA, & local unions are systematically working to decouple education from childcare.
Their vision is your child sitting on a device all day, watched by a childcare worker, being "taught" from a Teacher working from
This isn't a paranoid conspiracy theory - it is already happening in the majority of districts across the US where schools are closed.
"Learning Hubs" open, supervised by childcare workers, sometimes in the same "unsafe" school
There is NO OTHER WAY to get "small classes" without Hybrid + wraparound childcare. Your child will spend 2-3 days per WEEK supervised by low wage workers and sitting on a laptop.
