The supposed erratic burning of bodies was back in January, I was just commenting on the fact that the stats provided by China are defo off as they were burning thousands whilst still claiming only a few hundred had died. And I donāt agree with the QR code thing and know it wouldnāt work here
I just think thatās potentially how China has manage to reduce cases so quickly, as well as all the other human rights violationsThey were also welding apartment building doors shut in Wuhan so people couldn't get out. I saw it on a CBC doc.The supposed erratic burning of bodies was back in January, I was just commenting on the fact that the stats provided by China are defo off as they were burning thousands whilst still claiming only a few hundred had died.

This really is serious
Was talking about this at work - sometimes if i have to go into a cubicle to adjust stuff, such as hauling tights up, sorting a problematic bra etc I still wash my hands afterwards as canāt face anyone thinking Iām a non-washerI was in a public loo the other day and a woman tried to walk out without washing her hands!
The woman next to me shouted at her 'OI HANDS NOW!'
In Italy they are doing more than 1000 tests per day, thatās also why there are so many infections reported
Did toilet rolls companies secretly sent people out to hoard loos rolls and create this worldwide madness of hoarding loo rolls.. it's madnessDid anyone see the fight In the supermarket over toilet roll in Australia?!
yeah but bloody Easy Jet have a notice on their page advising their operations into and out of Venice and Milan are unaffected and will continue as planned!
Shocking! Other airlines (Delta and other US ones) are offering customers refunds but EJ are not at the moment. Hopefully they change their view on this today.
How the bloody hell can an area be quarantined if you\I\any tourist can pop over for a wee weekend visit? Why should locals put up with restrictions like this if tourists can come and go? Madness.
Iām honestly not sure if itās true. Could have been from any outbreak. Become so sceptical these days
Ahh so it's quite possible here more have it but don't meet criteria for testing.
Another question what exactly is incubation period as local case went northern italy self isolated and over 2 weeks now symptoms and diagnosis.
So is 14 days 2 week an accurate quarantine period?
i go to church and we had this a couple of week ago, I was so nervous about it I nearly dropped the wine as I was passing it backAlso when taking Holy Communion you drink from the same cup with only a quick wipe with a dry cloth between recipients.
We have it again in a couple of weeks and I donāt think Iāll want to do it
ive heard this elsewhere, that itās closer to 1 month
The NHS could never cope with even just 1% of the country getting coronavirus with the hospitalisation rate. A few extra beds in a hospital and some exta spaces won't even dent the sides.
Professor Jimmy whitworth who's professor of international public health at the London school of hygiene and tropical medicine said this morning on the radio he's expecting 80% of the country infected, 4 million people to be hospitalised and 350000-600000 people killed in this country alone and he's one of the most qualified people in the country to make that assesment! My sister is very high up in a trust and she's been petrified for weeks that the worst case scenario comes true and how they would never be able to cope. She's been told to play it down and say they're all very well prepared for it to reassure and give confidence.
The who say the death rate is 3.4% but because lots of ppl with mild symptoms are not being tested a doctor on the BBC revised this down to be more like 1% death rate. That's still over 10 times higher than flu.
I figured incubation period must be longer than 14 days.ive heard this elsewhere, that itās closer to 1 month
The independent hopefully more reliable than some rags says there's 2 types of strains of virus one mild one more serious.
Last I heard there's cases in Italy they haven't found out who got it.
Also same in UK they haven't been asia or Italy but now have it.
I don't think nhs is fully prepared outbreak.
How do people request and get tested?
I assume they told not go a &e or gps.
At the moment NHS 24 says you can only get tested if you have been to one of the listed high risk areas i.e. china, Italy Iran or have been in contact with a confirmed case. So if you are just ill but not been to one of these areas you can't get tested. Which seems crazy at this point as enough people have been confirmed who must have been out in shops, sports centers on buses etc and in contact with other people to spread the virus around in the UK!?

I was nursing in the swine flu outbreak. I don't remember people being told to stay at home or panic buying. It killed over 200k worldwide. 427 in the UK if I remember rightly.
Well we have just had the first confirmed case of it where I live. I hope the person makes a quick recovery. I currently have just your regular common cold but know when I go into work on Monday most of my students will be claiming I have the Corona virus
Yes, I agree with this I think we are past the point of it being āimportedā. Weāve got what, 8? 10? cases with no obvious foreign route of transmission. By my logic, those people must be in a bad way if theyāve been tested for the possibility of covid 19 given the strict criteria for testing those only from āaffected areasā. Which also suggests to me there are plenty of carriers out there who have caught it in the uk.
But what I also don't understand is just because a large amount can be traced to people who have travelled must have been out it the community before they were diagnosed so surely they could have left the virus in all sorts of places ? And say they cough on a bus next person grabs the hand rail then gets off the bus and goes into a shop picks up something puts I back next person buys it and goes to visit there friend in the next town ? How would you trace all these people as connected ?
Looking at live video feeds and Venice is looking beautiful and sunny without the mass of tourists that usually ruin it.I went to a shopping centre today that is usually packed at the weekend, it was dead, the multi-storey car park was empty.
and it was fabulous!!
If restaurants are still allowed to open until 6pm surely tourists can still visit? Flights are still landing, I'm kinda tempted to go but I'll self isolate for two weeks after I get back.
