Very clever. Now out it in an order that makes sense. How can I find my LEA when you’ve listed them in incidence order (4th column out of 5) instead of alphabetical?
Pretty misleading headline there lads, it should be “How MUCH” nothing about the science 🧬 of how it’s spreads just more numbers like everything we get from MSM. Keep shoving the numbers into us.
Ballyjamesduff, is a small rural town, with a very large meat plant, on the site of which there is a fully scaled up testing centre, large numbers of workers live in very cramped conditions, so you cannot compare like with like, each case is individual and has its own metrics...
