Mentioned this on this thread a week or two ago....this and mass testing should see life go back to somewhat normality

Re: Coronavirus update

I'd say the new cases figure of just over 1,100, while not great, may be a sign of encouragement. As you say, Tuesday isn't normally a good day for the stats, so that figure may be a sign that things are improving, but it'd need two or three days of similar figures before any conclusions could be drawn. Four deaths is good by recent standards, but that figure would be the last one to start showing any firebreak influence and I fear it'll be something of a one off.

OK yep 44 deaths reported today - must hve just been a longer than usual delay from the weekend

A bad day in the U.K. as well with 492 deaths and 25k plus new case.

Are the two that tested positive poorly? And was Mrs SP poorly resulting her in needing a test?

I hope they are all OK

Her sister’s neighbour and grandchildren had it (yet her husband tested negative?), the husband is disabled so my sister in law helps out. Because of the positive tests next door she had a postal test, which came back positive today, she hasn’t been unwell. The friend, who my missus goes on a daily walk with, is a care worker and a colleague she works with tested positive on Monday, so she was advised to have a test despite not feeling unwell, test positive. Even though they walk apart and in the open air my missus decided to have a test for piece of mind, result negative. Very quick getting the test, applied yesterday morning, was offered three time slots and went down the City at half twelve yesterday and received the result half twelve today, very well organised and prompt. I must admit she’s quite smug tonight, while the other two are well pissed off.

Re: Coronavirus update

So all the positive test were on people who wee not unwell.

To me that's why the figures are used to scare the public. A lot of positive tests does not mean a lot of unwell people.

Yes Mike, her sister doesn’t go out much so isolating is no big deal but, Sandra the care worker, is, understandably, having to isolate and is so pissed off because she isn’t ill at all but not as pissed off as her husband, who has to take a fortnight off work to quarantine because of his wife’s situation. It makes you think how many are not having tests because they have no symptoms and aren’t feeling rough yet a test could prove positive but it wouldn’t enter their head to have a test. Others in certain occupations who are more or less told to take a test as a precaution returning a positive despite feeling ok could be running into the thousands.

It is not the amount of cases that scare the people Michael.

It is the amount of deaths

A lot of deaths means a lot of very very unwell people!!!!

Not sure what point you are trying to make here.

It is known that there are many asymptomatic cases so a lot of those testing positive will not be unwell.

Bu they are the silent killers. People catch it off them and die.

We need to be scared to be honest. To make sure we all stick to the rules and avoid passing it on.

If me or my wife get it there is a damn good chance we will die.

And that's why testing is important. Person A can have the virus and not be unwell at all. That's great for Person A. But Person A can unwittingly give the virus to his mum, who might become unwell and then might die.

We don't need testing to find out if people are unwell or not. Our bodies are already good enough for that.

We're nearly a year into this thing, and people are still saying 'oh they're just trying to scare people'.

All of these governments have simultaneously decided to wreck their economies to scare people? Really?! How can some actually think that is what is happening!
