Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Apologies for not responding. Been quite unwell.







I've had the test results back, but they're negative. After spending yesterday waiting 5 hours to see a doctor, they've diagnosed me with a really nasty bout of bronchitis again, and it has well and truly knocked me for six.

The good news is that it's a LRI, so if I can survive this - I should be able to survive an URI.

Good to hear mate, you take care

They played Arsenal in the fa cup.
That may have something to do with it ?

Maybe, but that was nearly three weeks ago, so it's probably more likely that the disease is just generally getting more widespread within the whole community.

I went for a solo cycle ride out into Surrey today. Getting back through Richmond Park (on the outskirts of London) was ridiculous. Literally thousands of people had descend on the place. I've seen it busy but today was something else. I've also heard that thousands of people were cramming onto Snowdon today too. I completely get why people want to get out and about but it seems many people are devoid of common sense.

Ireland (still 3 deaths AFAIK):

The Department of health has confirmed there are 102 new cases of coronavirus in Ireland, bringing the total number of people testing positive for Covid-19 to 785.

More than 10,000 people in Ireland have now been tested for the virus.

Dr Colm Henry, chief clinical officer with the HSE, said that its strategy is "focused completely" on identifying case, isolating patients and identifying contacts.

I don’t wish anything bad on them but why are footballers and managers getting tests when we are all told to stay home?

Or before teachers, medics and others who hold important roles that are in contact with many people.

Or even NHS workers ....,

I'm getting concerned I'm going to become isolated and short of money for shopping. I live on my own and the financial implications are actually starting to bother me now, more than the actual virus itself.

I feel incredibly guilty for moaning about the financial hit I’m probably taking when I’m still in an incredibly fortunate position . If things get tough mate people here will help , including me .

When will the UK authorities stop covering up the real figures?

 

[Goat]

The "number of cases" data is quite possibly the most meaningless bit of data you will ever read in your life.

I see no reason why the number of cases arent already in the millions.

How do you know there are covered up figures?

Number of new cases in Ireland has dropped for 2 days now, Thursday 196 New cases, Friday 126 New cases and 102 New cases today.. hopefully early action closing schools will pay off. Hopefully we did the right things early. Hopefully.
