Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Re: Coronavirus update

Awful. Hope that whoever passed it on hasnt been in contact with too many and is contained. A lot of elderly vulnerable people have care packages with carers calling up to 4 times a day.

Sadly in the coming months we are all likely to know or know of someone taken by this dreadful virus.

Disbelief really by reading a poster still going on as if its flu.

There have been deaths in the Cynon valley due to it as well.

Re: Coronavirus update

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

Re: Coronavirus update

The think it’s tu e symptoms aren’t as much like flu it’s more like pneumonia. I think most people would just have had normal flu or a cold.

I was in China in December and had the worst cold of my life when I got back but the fact I didn’t pass it onto anyone at work or anyone in my family makes me sure it wasn’t it. I went to the states the day after I got back from China too so I’d probably have been public enemy number 1 if I did actually have it

If you had it I think you’d be aware of it because a lot of people you interacted with would have had it too.

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.

Re: Coronavirus update

Let me unpick this a bit for you.

Gluey thought his banker troll post of the day was to take a paragraph of a blog by a virologist and post it as if he had said the words himself. The complete opposite of his usual MO which is to post someone else's words or video showing how itk he is but without any commentary about what this proves.

Presumably the aim this time was to suck people into how utterly outlandish the quote was and then point out they weren't his words but those of a respected Professor.

Unfortunately Lardy sussed it within minutes of the post and others provided the context. The context being the Professor's words clearly set out that the stringent measures in place here and elsewhere provide the justification that the ultimate health toll of this will be akin to seasonal flu, not that this will happen naturally.

You probably got the backlash of the frustration that his jolly wheeze had blown up spectacularly in his face.

Stop being a twat.

Point being it wasn't a viral flu - GP has now said that.

Has she gone back in and asked him since the thread started?
