Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[lardy]

Unless you were ill in December and had recently been to China or had contact with someone who had recently been to China, I can't see that it was this coronavirus. That's asking for a lot of transmission to get to you.

Even now people are having those symptoms but it's another illness and that's after a lot of spread has happened. It's not as if they are very unique and distinctive symptoms.

We live on the edge of Cathays. Given the number of asian students Cardiff Uni encourage ( overseas students pay higher fees after all ), it's not impossible for it to have been present in the UK before Christmas.

It's also not impossible that what we are seeing right now could well be a mutation.

Most of those students are probably Malaysian, and even if they are from China it's very unlikely they had recently been back in their home country. Isn't the end of uni term something like mid December? I can't see anyone being in China at the time of the virus and then coming to Cardiff for the sake of a short time before the Christmas break.

Again, we simply don't know.

I don't think anyone can have any confidence the virus wasn't here pre Jan. If it was, then it may well be the case we plateau sooner rather than later.

I can see you really really want to believe your wife was one of the first to have coronavirus rather than one of the many common viruses that people get at that time of year, every year, so ok.

To help you out, I just checked and Cardiff does have lots of students from China (it's changed since I was working there, clearly), but I still can't see many of them having gone to China and back in December

I can simplify This. Chances of Picking up Corona Virus from Chinese Students in Cardiff During December-Working on the Probability they had Gone home and back again (loads of them don't go back during term time) And were returning to an infected area-Slim Chance

Chances of Having a heavy Cold during December in the UK-Good Chance.

I live about a mile and a half from a concentration of Chinese students-There are lots on Maindy Rd and Colum Rd, i had a cold in December-Just saying..

Tight chest, unable to breath - check.
Temperature and bad sweats overnight - check.
Nasty cough that didn't go away quickly - check.
Chronic fatigue - check.

Given her compromised immune system, a bit more than a cold - Just saying. GP has also said it's a possibility she had it back then given the increased GP knowledge of coronavirus now.

End of the day, given she'll not be tested, we'll never know.

I'm the caretaker of a Cardiff apartment block and there were quite a few Chinese students there in December. Remember them telling me their parents were coming over from China for a visit in early December then they would be all returning to China for the Christmas holidays.

China is huge with lots of people living there.

thats a fairly common thing, happens in Bath Uni aswell, parents visit for a few days then go back home to china with kids
