This is a good sign though. We studied it, learned more, and changed recommendations based on new data especially as we now know asymptomatic people can spread the virus.

44% is an eye watering number if true

The call for body bags came late Saturday. By Monday, the police in a small New Jersey town had gotten an anonymous tip about a body being stored in a shed outside one of the state’s largest nursing homes. When the police arrived, the corpse had been removed from the shed, but they discovered 17 bodies piled inside the nursing home in a small morgue intended to hold no more than four people.“They were just overwhelmed by the amount of people who were expiring,” said Eric C. Danielson, the police chief in Andover, a small township in Sussex County, the state’s northernmost county.

The 17 were among 68 recent deaths linked to the long-term care facility, Andover Subacute and Rehabilitation Center I and II, including two nurses, officials said. Of those who died, 26 people had tested positive for the virus. For the others, the cause of death is unknown.Of the patients who remain at the homes, housed in two buildings, 76 have tested positive for the virus; 41 staff members, including an administrator, are sick with Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, according to county health records shared on Wednesday with a federal official.

This is what gets me.Last week someone was saying 'Only wear a mask if you have symptoms ' and it dosen't make a difference for others as it stops 'said person' passing it on.Surely we should all be wearing them anyway.

It’s daft isn’t it? We look at what Asian countries do - constantly wear masks, but then dismiss it and pretend their lower infection rates are down to something else.

Government covering its arse because they can’t get enough masks as it is without private citizens buying them.

Is it a bike factory?

Sofas I believe, which may explain why he finds it so hard to go home and stay on his. It's like people who work in cake shops, they can't stand cakes outside of work.

I thought the lockdowns in Asian countries were more severe though? As in no exercise or anything?

Do you mean that the hospital is empty or some beds are not occupied? There has been such little information on what is happening there.

The media are staying mostly empty. Only around 17 beds used over the easter holidays.

Brucie... on my ride yesterday.. a copper stopped me. Asked me why i was out. Said my 1 exercise.. he asked me how far i was going and i said about 40km roughly 2.5 hours. his response?

"Good luck & enjoy... it's hot"

But yeah... i should take my advice from an Everton forum over the police.

Just seeing in the news that 700 sailors on a French aircraft carrier have it. Article also says the boat has been at sea since late January. How does this happen, unless there was far more of it about in January than they realise?
