Coronavirus

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

If anyone wants a break from the coronavirus:

ITV2 film tonight:  Contagion.

Matt Damon and Kate Winslet.  Scientists set out to stop a deadly virus that is sweeping the globe.

Someone must have thought this was good programming!!

Bats and meat markets, social distancing and go home.
Some sod's used this film from 10 years ago as a template for todays excuses and buzzwords rather than blame a fcuking Chinese Bio research lab a few miles down the road.

‘So there’.  😂😂😂😂

You think the conservative, equally London, real elite, give a excrement?

No of course they don’t but at least their supporters realise that unlike our labour brothers who still live in the halcyon days of ....

The peak is expected on the 14th April for London, with the rest of the country approximately 10 days behind. London is further along the graph so will hit the peak sooner but also be out quicker.

The reason testing is so short is there is a lack of reagent needed to identify the type of viruses found in the swab sample. Currently there is a roughly 30-40% chance of a false negative result from the swab. Obviously the critically ill patients will be treated regardless but it’s a bit of a worry if people think they’re fine and don’t self isolate appropriately because of it.

USA overtakes China to become the world's number 1 nation - Trump triumphs again!
Except it's for the number of coronavirus  cases.

Ps have a look at the worldometer site, some really interesting graphs and figures. The 1 that stands out for me is how low are our number of cases per million
Perhaps BoJo and his boys are doing something right?

Our case numbers are low due to our pathetically low testing levels.

A bit had when the nation gets carona virus we show our appreciation by giving the Nhs staff the clap. 😕

I did that one last night (and it got a better reception red X wise)  

Quoted from The Old Codger

Our case numbers are low due to our pathetically low testing levels.

There's plenty of other countries that won't be testing as much as the Koreans and Germans.we are far lower than the u.s.a. And they're testing is far worse than ours

Genuine question, is it possible to get a very mild form of the virus, you may just feel a bit off it for a couple of days, so you don’t even realise you’ve had it.

I’d imagine so, plenty of stories suggesting it was prevalent prior to Christmas when everyone seemed poorly.

I’d guess that given the likelihood you’ll get tested is low then you’ll never really know either way.

Yes

If you have symptoms and you’re currently alone self-isolate for 7 days (longer if you still have symptoms after that). If you live with others self-isolate for 14 days.

Genuine question: do you not have a TV in your house?
