Regular readers of this blog will know my 'frustration' at UK not publishing the no. of recovered cases, as from this figure we can see whether or not 'actual' live cases are reducing.  For example we can see clearly that DE has now got the virus under control with active cases reducing by over 77%, ES active cases down over 40%, IT down around 30%.  Today not even figures of total active cases has been provided. All us mere mortals can do is study the figures published and draw our own conclusions.  

I watched a very angry transport trade union leader (Mike Cash General Secretary of RMT (Rail, Maritime & Transport workers)  Union) on BBC Question Time last night make the point that the government have no strategy for public transport and I have to agree.  They have published a statement in response to Grant Shapps on RMT website. 'Releasing' the public 2 days in advance on a reduced capacity service (50%) without even advice (instruction) to wear face masks is totally irresponsible. MIck Cash claims that the government has 'jumped the gun'.  Bus drivers should be wearing PPE as  they are 'trapped' on a bus all day with hundreds (if not thousands) of different people boarding the bus all day long.  Think about it - the breath of hundreds of people circulating within a confined space!

South Korea has identified 100 new positive cases linked to one man who attended 3 nightclubs in Seoul. It has been reported that 32,000 people have been contact traced and advised to be tested with 11,000 already tested.  This is in a country that has only 11,018 total reported cases and less than 1,000 (969) active cases and 260 reported deaths.
