It was something I felt particularly strongly about, and something I felt I should have spoken up about more in the past.

But I understand how people feel about it and will refrain from doing so again should a similar situation arise.

And after noting several deleted posts which appear to be some sort of track-covering exercise, I agree with the ban.

Full list of the 331 Tory MPs who voted against weekly testing of NHS and care staff. It includes Jeremy Hunt who advocated testing on the same day and then voted against testing, in the same day. Lol!

Why are California's Covid-19 cases surging? Here's what we know

As malls, museums, bars and other public spaces reopened, Governor Gavin Newsom has urged citizens to wear masks and keep their distance from one another to slow the spread of disease. “I cannot impress upon people more the importance at this critical juncture,” he said, “to take seriously this moment.”

As of Thursday, the number of patients hospitalized with Covid-19 is 32% higher than it was two weeks ago, Newsom reported. The number of patients in intensive care also increased 19% over the past fortnight – more than a third of ICU beds available across the state are now occupied by coronavirus patients.

In order to safely reopen, no more than 5% of everyone in a community who gets tested for Covid-19 should receive a positive result, according to the World Health Organization. California’s threshold for reopening is that no more than 8% of all tests should come back positive. While the positivity rate for the state overall hovers at a tenuous 5.1%, the rate in some southern California counties is nearly 9% or higher.

Governor Newsom said the state might have to “revert back” to tougher restrictions if the situation gets worse.

An early modeling estimate suggested that 80% of infections could be attributed to spread from undocumented cases. Presumably the undocumented patients were asymptomatic or had only extremely mild symptoms. Though interesting, the researchers made a lot of assumptions in that model so it is hard to judge the accuracy of that prediction.

What I'm basically saying is that someone sneezing and coughing with a temperature should be isolating at home anyway, regardless what they're ill with, so hopefully it's a moot (though certainly interesting) point.

They should. But rates of seasonal flu always shoot up outside of school holidays,and not only because that's just when flu comes around - they decline during/after October half term and christmas and then bounce back. Which probably means that children are going into school when they're ill.
It is interesting (and it's something I know we've talked about before) how all of this is going to have to change schools' attitudes to 'sickness' (in the widest sense) absences.
