Target reached as capacity increases.

A further expansion of coronavirus (COVID-19) testing in Scotland has been announced as it was confirmed that the target to reach capacity for 3,500 tests a day across NHS labs has been exceeded.

The normal daily capacity for analysing tests in Scotland has now reached 8,350. This figure is made up of 4,350 NHS tests and 4,000 from the Glasgow Lighthouse Laboratory.

The First Minister confirmed the numbers as she announced testing in Scotland will be expanded to include:

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said:

At the start of this outbreak, only two laboratories in Scotland carried out tests. Now there are labs at all 14 health boards, we have exceeded our target to test 3,500 samples a day in the NHS and, working with the Lighthouse Lab at Glasgow University, capacity for testing in Scotland has now reached 8,323 and is on track to expand further this month.

Given that our capacity has now expanded significantly, that means we can further extend eligibility for testing.

We now intend to undertake enhanced outbreak investigation in all care homes where there are cases of COVID-19 - this will involve testing, subject to individuals consent, all residents and staff, whether or not they have symptoms. In addition, we are testing symptomatic over 65s as well as those who need to leave their homes to work.

We are also expanding the surveillance testing programme to include antibody testing. This is another tool which will allow us to monitor the proportion of people exposed to COVID-19 and help tackle its spread across the population.

Background

Testing at Regional Testing Centres and mobile units

In addition to key workers currently eligible, all symptomatic over 65s and household and those of any age who are symptomatic who need to leave their homes to work and household will have access to tests. Tests will be booked through the UK Governments on-line system athttps://self-referral.test-for-coronavirus.service.gov.uk/and will be conducted at five regional drive-through test sites in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness and Perth and at mobile test sites being initially located at a number of locations including Motherwell, Dunoon, Prestwick, Stranraer, Galashiels, Peterhead and Elgin.At times a queuing system may have to be put into operation on the website for those locations where demand is highest. This is monitored regularly.

Serology stream of the enhanced surveillance programme (antibody testing)

The serology stream of Health Protection Scotlands enhanced surveillance programme will run for at least 16 weeks and will initially involve six NHS boards; expansion into other boards is also planned. Approximately 500 residual blood samples from biochemistry laboratories (submitted from primary care)will be tested per week at the Scottish Microbiology Reference Laboratory in Inverness. To ensure comparability with other UK data, HPS will be using similar methodology originally developed by Public Health England. To achieve a fair representation of the Scottish population, the initial samples will be distributed across the six participating boards, and by age-group and sex.

Laboratory capacity to process tests in Scotland on 30 April 2020

NHS Scotland Labs: 4,350 tests

Glasgow University Lighthouse Laboratory: 4,000 tests

Total current capacity in Scotland: 8,350 tests.

Target was 3,500 by end April.

Note:

Since the start of the Coronavirus outbreak, NHS lab capacity has been increased from two NHS labs (Glasgow and Edinburgh) with total capacity to do 350 tests a day, to a point today where there is lab testing capacity in all 14 health board areas.

NHS Scotland labs this figure represents maximum capacity. Capacity may fluctuate and exceed testing demand on a daily basis for a number of reasons. We work closely with health boards to improve the efficiency of the testing system and the National Labs Programme (led by NSS) is leading work to optimise the capacity utilisation of the system.

The capacity of NHS Scotland labs is projected to increase to at least 8,000 by the middle of May.

Tests carried out in Scotland on 30 April 2020

Tests done by NHS in hospitals/community/care homes: 2,537 tests *Tests done by drive-throughs/mobile/homes testing: 2,124 tests **Total number of tests done in Scotland on 30 April: 4,661

Note:

The drive through/mobile/homes testing number has not previously been included in daily figures. It will be from now on.

COVID-19 Shutdown Orders Allow Construction Work To Proceed In Some States But Not In Others (Updated) - JD Supra

How is Microsoftthe worlds most-influential enterprise-tech companythinking about the future of business?

Where does CEO Satya Nadella see the post-COVID-19 world headed? Where are the opportunities, the traps and the possibilities?

Nadella touched on all of these subjects in this weeks fiscal Q3 earnings call as Microsoft, the #1 company on my Cloud Wars Top 10 rankings, posted quarterly enterprise-cloud revenue of $13.3 billion, up 40%.

Here are 10 of Nadellas most-compelling insights from that call. (The full transcript is on MotleyFool.com.)

As COVID-19 impacts every aspect of our work and life, we have seen two years worth of digital transformation in two months. From remote teamwork and learning, to sales and customer service, to critical cloud infrastructure and security, we are working alongside customers every day to help them stay open for business in a world of remote everything. There is both immediate surge demand, and systemic, structural changes across all of our solution areas that will define the way we live and work going forward.

We saw more than 200 million meeting participants in a single day this month, generating more than 4.1 billion meeting minutes. Teams now has more than 75 million daily active users the number of organizations integrating their third-party and line of business apps with Teams has tripled in the past two months 20 organizations with more than 100,000 employees are now using Teams, including Continental AG, Ernst & Young, Pfizer, and SAP.

From Twilio, to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, to more than 10,000 engineers at Daimler, GitHub is where developers go from idea to code and code to cloud. Developers are also collaborating on mission-critical projects, from tracking the spread of COVID-19, to implementing contact tracing, to helping expand access to personal protective equipment. We are bringing GitHub to even more developers, making core features free for the first time for teams of any size.

Dynamic 365 is helping thousands of organizations accelerate digital transformation as they remote every part of the operation, from manufacturing, to supply chain management, to sales and customer service, inclusive of new scenarios like curbside pickup, contactless shopping, remote customer assistance and operations. Patagonia is using Dynamics 365 Commerce to rapidly move to new, more intelligent distribution and fulfillment models, including contactless shopping. And we are working with card issuers like American Express so merchants who use Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection can reduce fraudulent activity as they process more transactions online.

In field service, the worlds largest commercial real estate services firm, CBRE, is using Dynamics 365 Remote Assist to help keep its life-sciences tenants labs fully operational from afar. And, enterprise software company C3.ai, founded by Tom Siebel, shifted its entire sales force to Dynamics 365 Sales in less than two weeks.

In AI, customers are applying our comprehensive portfolio of tools, services, and infrastructure to address unique challenges, including those created by COVID-19. In healthcare, we are seeing compute, data, and AI come together to help speed up response, from testing to therapeutics and vaccine development.

Healthcare providers have created more than 1,400 bots using our Healthcare Bot service, helping more than 27 million people access critical healthcare information. The Centers for Disease Control is using the Healthcare Bot to help people self-assess for coronavirus symptoms. Adaptive Biotechnologies is using our tools to decode the immune systems response to the virus. And ImmunityBio is using more than 24 petaflops of computing power on our cloud to help researchers build models in days, instead of months. Enterprises are using our Speech Service to manage a record influx of customer service inquiries, including Poste Italiane, which is using it to automatically respond to nearly 170,000 calls per day.

Overall, the perspective we take, the approach we take is really to be there for our customers at their time of most acute need. So we dont go in there with the mindset of what does it mean for our revenue. I mean this thing that Id always say, which is when our customers do well well do well on a long-term basis. Thats at the core of our business model. Thats the core of how we approach it.

I think there are three phases here and there is overlap.

There is no question that moving to the public cloud, even at a time like this, is just capital efficient. If you think about, for any business, the conversations we are havingand even for businesses that are having tough economic cyclesone of the smartest things that anyone can do, and we want to be very helpful in those conversations, is to transition to the efficient frontier as quickly as possible so that they can have more agility, more elasticity and better unit economics coming out of this or even while youre in this crisis. So I think the migration to the cloud is absolutely a secular shift.

But at the same time, the architecture of the cloud itself is going to be both the cloud and the edge. So its not just about migrating off-premise, but its also about being able to have an architecture that supports the needs where edge-compute is increasingly going to be very important.

Its actually very important to have the ability in a very agile way as a business to be able to move on your business-process needs. So for example if you are a retailer and you now need to do contactless shopping, that is something that, for example, Dynamics is going to support for you to be able to use even commodity cameras with AI modules with all of it helping with our data model that supports our shopping inside of physical stores or curbside pickup or even remote assistance

So as long as business applications like ours with Dynamics 365 address the immediate pressing needs, these are project starts that will happen because in some sense thats the way for economic activity to return. But at the same time I think business applications that perhaps have longer lead in terms of implementation, people are probably going to take some more time to decide on it, but whereas we think we are well positioned to capture the new scenarios.

We are more or less a restaurant that sells food and shows you a movie, he said. If we can eliminate the movie part, where there is no need for bathrooms, and nobody is coming to the lot to watch a movie, we are hoping to be able to open for take-out, just to get some money coming in until we can actually open.

More than 500 cars can fit into the facility, which features two screens. Normally at this time of the year, a dozen people would be employed at the drive-in. As it stands, only three full-time staff Ben, Will and an office manager are working.

Several schools inquired about holding some kind of modified graduation services there. But again, the state said no.

And they have tried to get the governors ear, but those attempts have not been successful, either.

Gibson City's Harvest Moon Drive-In owner Mike Harroun has change and a plastic bag for a customer as a God Bless America neon sign hangs on the little pay station building to the drive-in June 19, 2008.

We have sent numerous e-mails and we have even had a couple of state representatives put our letter directly in front of the governor, but we have been told that they will not open drive-ins now, Ben Harroun said. They could potentially look at it a little later this month, is all.

Ideal Industries, the global leader in electrical accessories, tools and equipment, has launched a Student Safe Isolation Kit, designed especially for trainee electricians.

The move follows a knowledge sharing programme that has seen Ideal Industries engage with further education providers to contribute training and equipment. It was clear that, although students are being taught safe isolation best practice, they are often not being provided with safe isolation equipment on site and find professional kits cost-prohibitive.

Brett Smyth, General Manager of Ideal Industries UK and EMEA explains: Poor safety behaviours around isolations is a real problem in the electrical industry, with only one in five electricians carrying a safe isolation kit in their tool bag.

We want to help address that by embedding safety best practice in the next generation of electricians coming through to site-based roles and we have been working with training providers to look at how we can help drive a cultural shift. Designing a Safe Isolation Kit that has everything a trainee electrician needs and ensuring its available at an accessible price is a significant milestone in this regard.

The new Student Safe Isolation Kit from Ideal Industries includes a Vol-Con Digital Voltage Tester, which tests for both AC and DV voltage. It provides a visual and audible alert for continuity and non-contact voltage and features low impedance to eliminate ghost voltages. Costing 58, the kit also include a medium circuit breaker lock out kit, a universal MCB lockout device, a safety padlock, re-usable lockout tags and a marker pen, all contained in a handy pouch.

The launch of the new kit has been welcomed by training providers, including Steve Willis Training Centres, which has been running a social media campaign to encourage safe isolations and working with Ideal Industries. Adrian Davey, trainer at Steve Willis Training Centres, comments: Having run my own electrical installation company, I know just how often the network can inadvertently be switched back to live, which is a significant danger, no matter how experienced the team might be.

The only way to protect operatives on site is to test for residual current, lock out and tag the isolation, and its important that anyone training in the electrical sector prioritises those good habits. Making a safe isolation kit specifically designed for and accessible to students is a very positive step in this process.

LANSING Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Wednesday she will not negotiate future stay-at-home orders with the Republican-led Legislature, despite pressure to speed plans to restart an economy she locked down to slow the coronavirus.

With tensions high at the Michigan Capitol, the Whitmer administration took the rare step of disclosing an internal email exchange with a top aide to Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, who proposed extending an emergency declaration set to expire Friday by up to two weeks in exchange for a public promise by the governor to work with lawmakers on future orders.

The first-term Democrat, who has requested a 28-day extension, rejected the offer and told GOP leaders she believes she has the authority to continue emergency actions with or without their blessing.

"Michigan remains in a state of emergency regardless of the actions you decide to take or not take, Whitmer said in a response also released to reporters by her communications director.

Shirkey was extremely disappointed that he heard about the governors rejection based on her leaking an email to the press, said spokesperson Amber McCann. If there was any interest in his caucus working with the governor, it has evaporated.

In an interview with MIRS subscription news, Shirkey, R-Clarklake, suggested Whitmer is comfortable being a dictator and called the email release a double middle finger from the administration.

Shirkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, want a seat at the table as Whitmer finalizes her economic restart plan with a team of business and public health advisers.

Republicans argue the Legislature is an equal branch of government and lawmakers should have a say in the states response to the global pandemic. GOP leaders want the governor to continue relaxing rules for businesses and contend she needs their approval to take emergency actions beyond Thursday.

But Whitmer maintains she can continue to act unilaterally under a 1945 law that does not require legislative approval, a measure Senate Republicans voted to repeal last week in a symbolic move.

Republicans in the Legislature want to negotiate opening up sectors of our economy, Whitmer said later Wednesday in a COVID-19 briefing.

They're acting as though we're in the midst of a political problem. This is not a political problem that we have. This is a public health crisis. This is a global pandemic. We've already lost over 3,700 Michiganders, more than we lost in Vietnam.

Whitmer, who previewed her MI Safe Start plan on Monday and has promised to put the construction industry back to work by May 7, said she'llmake decisions "based on facts and science and data and risk." She has not offered a timeline for other industries that will reopen in phases depending on region and workplace type.

Lawmakers met in Lansing on Wednesday but took little action in a lengthy session that was interrupted by anti-Whitmer protesters. At least one demonstrator was reportedly wheeled out on a stretcher after forced removal by House sergeants.

Rep. Jason Sheppard, R-Temperance, blasted Whitmer in a Wednesday afternoon statement after negotiations with GOP leaders fell apart.

Shes not so much a governor as she is a minority leader who won an election, Sheppard said, describing what he called failures at the Unemployment Insurance Agency, where there have beenlong wait times for the states 1 million unemployed workers, as well as a concernsover a volunteer contact tracing contract awarded to a firm with Democratic ties that Whitmer quickly rescinded.

House Minority Leader Christine Greig, D-Farmington Hills, accused Republicans of playing partisan games amid the public health crisis.

The Legislature has important work to do, she said in a statement. We must focus on responding to this deadly pandemic and tackling a looming state budget crisis, rather than waste precious time trying to inhibit the governors ability to take steps necessary to protect and save lives during an emergency.

The House plans to meet again Thursday to continue negotiating for common-sense changes to help families who are struggling during this pandemic, said Gideon DAssandro, a spokesman for Chatfield and the GOP caucus.

Thousands of people have reached out to their state representatives because theyve been hurt by executive orders that go too far and make unfair one-size-fits-all decisions, DAssandro said.

Strong action is needed to combat this pandemic, but Michigans response has been a national outlier for the amount of harm it has caused and the amount of confusion and uncertainty it has created.

Critics contend the governor went too far with her lockdown orders and has not eased rules fast enough as the states coronavirus curve has appeared to flatten. Michigan has so far confirmed 40,399 cases of COVID-19 and 3,670 related deaths since March 10, including 1,137 additional cases and 103 deaths announced Wednesday.

Whitmers orders are unprecedented and violate the rights of business owners forced to close, according to a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday on behalf of Sothebys real estate firm in Birmingham, EPM landscaping of Ann Arbor, the Intraco exporting firm of Troy and its subsidiary Casite, along with Hillsdale Jewelers in Hillsdale.

For the first time in our States historyindeed, in our nations historythe State government is mass quarantining healthy people instead of the sick, attorneys with the Butzel Long law firm wrote in a complaint filed to the U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids.

As a free people, we have the unalienable right to pursue happiness, which includes the freedom to make our own choices about our safety and welfare without unconstitutional interference.

Plaintiffs want the federal court to declare Whitmers lockdown order unconstitutional and prohibit the state from enforcing it or similar mandates in the future.

The suit contends Whitmers orders, legal under state law, violate business owners federal right to engage in interstate commerce. Hillsdale Jewelers, for instance, has lost almost all its business a 99 percent drop in revenue because it can no longer import metals and stones used to make jewelry, sell products in store or perform repairs, attorneys claim.

In short, plaintiffs bring this lawsuit to define the limits of a states police power, the complaint said, noting stay-home order violators can face misdemeanor penalties of up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.

Whitmers office declined to discuss the suit, citing a policy of not commenting on pending litigation.

Its the latest in a slew of lawsuits against the administration in the midst of the pandemic, including complaints over Whitmers decisions to close landscaping businesses and prohibit motor boating.

She has since reversed some of those policies but contends they saved lives.

Whitmer prevailed inone state caseWednesday when Court of Claims Judge Christopher Murray rejected a motion to suspend her stay-at-home order in a lawsuit filed by five Michigan residents who claim the governor violated their due process rights.

Murray, who previously served as deputy legal counsel to Republican former Gov. John Engler, said Whitmer acted within her authority and that suspending the order would not serve the public interest.

Although the Court is painfully aware of the difficulties of living under the restrictions of these executive orders, those difficulties are temporary, while to those who contract the virus and cannot recover (and to their family members and friends), it is all too permanent, he wrote.

Attorney General Dana Nessel applauded the ruling, which her office called the first substantive decision on the constitutionality of the governors stay-home orders.

This pandemic has already takenmore than 3,600lives in Michigan andmanymorearound the world, Nessel said in a statement. Theprimary goal of the Stay Home, Stay Safe order has always been to protect human life.

The governor is facing growing pressure and potential legal action from both the federal government and the state Legislature.

U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr on Monday announced a new effort to monitor state and local directives that could be violating the constitutional rights and civil liberties of individual citizens.

The order is not specific to Michigan, but Barr drafted U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider of the Eastern District of Michigan to help oversee the project.

Schneider and Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Eric Drieband will monitor state and local policies and, if necessary, take action to correct them, Barr said in a memo.

We do not want to unduly interfere with the important efforts of state and local officials to protect the public, he wrote. But the Constitution is not suspended in times of crisis. We must therefore be vigilant to ensure its protections are preserved.

In a Tuesday morning radio interview on WILS, Chatfield called Barrs memo a clear message, not just to Whitmer, but to leaders across the country.

He said that without negotiated changes to Whitmers stay-home order, the GOP-led Legislature may not extend the separate emergency declaration set to expire Friday.

Whitmer said her order, set to last through May 15, will remain in effect regardless. But a legislative extension would continue to protect health care workers from any legal liability they may face for services performed at the states request.

It could be something that the judicial branch needs to get involved in, so were prepared for that, Chatfield told MLive.com Tuesday.

GOP leaders have not spelled out their wish list, but Senate Republicans on Tuesday adopted a resolution urging the governor to allow health care providers to resume elective surgeries she put on hold last month.

Giving hospitals the freedom to determine their capacity to handle elective procedures, is a key step in improving the financial stability of hospitals, said the resolution, sponsored by Sen. Lana Theis, R-Brighton.

In her Wednesday briefing, Whitmer said she is considering changes to her March 20 order prohibiting non-essential medical procedures but drew a distinction between time-sensitive medical care like cancer treatments, non-urgent care like hip replacements and truly elective cosmetic surgeries.

Weve been having intensive conversations with our public health experts as well as our leadership in our various hospitals systems, and I do think there is going to be somethingin the coming days on that front, the governor said.

The House on Wednesday unanimously approved separate legislation that would require hospitals to notify first responders if a patient they transported later tests positive for COVID-19.

A new oversight committee established with subpoena power to review Whitmers handling of the pandemic also met for the first time in Lansing.

The crisis has cost lives, jobs and it will cost our economy and government budgets billions of dollars, Sen. Aric Nesbitt, R-Lawton, suggesting the oversight process will help Michigan identify what has and has not worked so far.

We have a responsibility to develop the best Michigan model possible for handling this crisis and the next one, he said. Hopefully there isnt a next one, but in the course of human events, pandemics happen, and we need to be prepared better.
