    It's more than that. How are they going to tell who is Covid and who is not Covid during the seasonal cold / flu outbreak? Easy at the moment.
    By reading the death certificate

      Yep. Those are the tossers to whom I was alluding, thereby attempting to demonstrate that OG Paddy's argument was perhaps not entirely cogent.

      Definitely not playing with a full deck today are you? Been on the cough syrup?
      My word. Even when I am indirectly slightly agreeing with you, you're so incredibly thick (or pig headed or both) that you don't notice.


      Edit: mean Paddy, not OG.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            Coronavirus: Why has Leicester had a spike of coronavirus? - BBC News

            The east of the city appears to be the epicentre of this local outbreak. The area includes streets with tightly packed terraced housing, and has a high proportion of ethnic minority families where multi-generational living is more common.

            Indeed, Leicester as a whole is one of the most culturally diverse areas in the country, with about half of its residents from ethnic minority groups.

              If only somebody who knows the city well, maybe even lives there, had posted something like that upthread. It could have saved everybody a lot of argufying.

              Oh, hang on, what's this:

Remember, the population of Leicester has the highest proportion of BAME people of anywhere in the country, at around 50%.

                  Have another read. I wasn't quoting you. I just mistakenly attributed it to you.
