Unfortunately it seems the UK government is bowing to the financial pressure to come out of lockdown rather than the medical and scientific data.

Yep, they've run out of things to senstionalise. Next week, we can probably expect stories about cats stuck up trees.

*Minnesota now has the ability to test more than 8,000 people/day, and testing is available to the general population in small numbers. However, logistics are still a problem.
**The stay-at-home and shut down measures used by Minnesota have kept the rate of spread significantly below what it would have been without such measures. However, based on the hospitalization and death rates, the rate of spread is still increasing slightly with an approximate R factor of 1.035 new cases each day (ie the number of new cases each day is doubling every 20 days). Using the number of tests coming in positive the R factor is 1.045 (ie the number of new cases each day is doubling every 16 days). The number of current cases in hospitals and ICUs has risen slowly but steadily to 3,134 and 1,003 respectively.

Results are in and it's negative. Guess PPE works...
Great news Gnomey, I inadvertently "agreed" with your post, when I was looking for a "good news" or "happy" response. Take care.
Inadvertently...

Good to know. I had a sore throat for 3 days during the week and got tested Thursday evening. Awaiting results.
My laptop has it in for me...
I find it amazing you would not agree.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Gnomey who happens to be a Dr. said that apparently the PPE works, as he tested negative despite treating coronavirus patients. You responded, saying that you inadvertently agreed with him. That means you did so by accident, meaning you don't agree.
I don't understand why anyone would disagree.

He's saying that he hit the "Agree" button by mistake instead of the "Like" button.
Ah, either way. It's not a bad thing to agree with.
I was not saying PPEs don't work...they do. I thought that agreeing to the news about Gnomey was odd because I thought it made me sound like I was saying "Yes, I agree your test is negative." Which sounds strange to me since I had nothing to do with administering the test. I read the part about the PPEs, but I was more focused on the news of the test results, and that was the target of my response. The joke about my laptop was pretty much what Crimea_River explained. I was looking through the response options and I must have pressed too hard on the scroll pad as I moved the cursor and accidentally selected agree. Next time, I guess, I'll just go straight to bacon.

Thank God that you haven't caught it. This is virus to to dismiss even though many fail to take it seriously.
