No further deaths reported though? 10 is still very low compared to other countries.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

Yeah I think lock down China still is the only way to "cope" with this. Not that I think it will stop it but it does seem to slow the rate of infection.
I'm really out of touch when it comes to these things, I get that it's an efficient way to expose people to the WHO link but I still roll my eyes when I read #dab.
Suspiciously so.
And I don't mean that in a 'conspiracy' sense, just literally very hard to believe.
Bolsonaro is someone worthy of it, to be honest. Don't care how un-PC that comes across. If Trump has it, jesus. They would NEVER tell us I reckon.
Another 10 cases are rated as critical. We have stopped all testing remember so the reported figure of 19 new cases is just BS.
Whats the betting they will announce that Trump's very own Dr Nick will be testing him in the morning and by afternoon the test results will be back written in Sharpie (NO KORONAH)
The Healthcare that these guys will have will be insane though compared to what is even available for the best covered Private patients.
Trump is basically a walking Hamburger and is in his 70s, but you know that fecker could somehow never, ever be taken out by this.
Not for countries with a similar infected figure, we have more than most European nations with a similar figure.
200+ new infections for the first time in the UK, looks like it's speading up. Within about a week we'll probably get to where Spain is with 1000 infections a day, and at that point things could start to get ugly if the NHS starts to struggle.
Not sure why the gov is being so lenient in it's response, pretty much all European countries are trending the same way. Maybe to try delay it to the Easter holiday to avoid school/work disruptions, but by then it'll likely be a lot worse than now.
3597 tested, for 208 cases = 5.7% infection per test. Down from 6.1% yesterday.
Just had to take this missus to hospital for some some complications due to an infection (she's fine) but the amount of NHS staff openly having conversations about how fecked they are and how unprepared. One nurse seemed to be having a barmy with a senior about the lack of protection they were being offered.
Really do feel for them all.

Given official government policy is that they are not testing anyone, and they specifically do not want to know if you have the symptoms at home, these numbers are worthless.
They have stopped testing now sure, if you think you have it simply isolate yourself.
Wales Scotland off. Gutted, literally just arrived in Wales for it and would have been my first rugby match.
However I know it's for the best.

Is this confirmed? Absurd if true.
Can we call it off in retrospect.............
No but I did say a day or two before the game on here many times it should be called off or behind closed doors. I was looking at the numbers in Spain and they looked extremely bad to me and also stated half the cases are in Madrid and that's still the case.
Whatever, UK will be similar levels in a few weeks probably. Would be interesting to see if any increase happened in the north west.
Ok. I think I understand the question. And the answer is “no”. The reason healthcare workers are more likely to be more sick is most likely about viral load. In animal models, the higher the initial infective dose of most viruses the worse the outcome. There’s an assumption that the same is true for doctors/nurses infected in hospitals.
Is that the case? Not read that anywhere. Surely that will under-report the figures massively over the coming week? Makes sense I guess from the point of not overwhelming hospitals, but then you're not really tracing anyone and you're allowing it to spread everywhere, which'll be damaging especially for the older population.
Iceland has just banned gathering of over 100 people, unprecedented in the country to ban gatherings. Sports have not been cancelled so far. We're about to go into the finals in basketball and handball but I can't imagine them going through with it.
Colleges and high schools are also closed down but kindergarten and schools will still be open.

the reason why China doesn't have a problem having enough darecare and nannies is the same reason as they can build a hospital in a week. you can't compare like for like.
if you ban schools, where are all those kids going? tell me. and don't say their grandparents. the schools will be shut down, don't worry. just not yet. it's pretty simple.
Trump will refuse to get tested.
Covering your cough with the fold of your arm is better than spitting into your hand.
I’ve never dabbed anything but this is still useful for the kids out there.
It Trump has it, then so will Pence. They've been together lots recently.
If both are hospitalized, it'd make Nancy Pelosi as next acting chief. Imagine if that happens
For increasing health awareness?
Would the economic down fall have been as great if we just closed off China when this all began? And instead focussed resources on helping them? Scientific models would have predicted a worldwide outbreak nonetheless unless it was kept inside the boundaries of the country it originated from.
if you have any signs of the flu or cold you should isolate yourself. people need to take some personal responsibility.
Yea what a fecking wanker using his profile to raise awareness of good hygiene practice.
Read one post above yours - Iceland can close schools, how are they capable of this yet U.K cannot do it?
It's almost as if a Government can quite easily actually arrange childcare for Healthcare workers isn't it?
OK that makes sense, so a toxic combination of being overwhelmed with a very high/consistent intake of the virus combined with stress / fatigue can lead to a severely compromised/overwhelmed immune system. Sounds absolutely terrifying.
why is it absurd? do you really think we have the capacity to test every single person who shows symptoms?
Dabbing?
Annoying, I'm sure you'll get another chance!
Oh grow up. How the feck can anyone use someone using their profile to raise awareness for a cause like this to get themselves faux annoyed.
Sneezing/coughing into your elbow rather than your hand or out into the open
Have you read the reactions on that post of his?
I get what he meant but he's been stupid here. Just stupid.
The government guidelines are not to run your business or organisation in an inflexible manner. We are following government guidelines to keep out organisation fully operational, whilst also encouraging staff to consider more home working and conducting meetings remotely. This is not remotely contradictory with the official guidance published.
Universities having policies in 2020 that do not allow remote lectures is the result of poor policy making. Universities not allowing remote lectures in response to the developing situation, because they believe it contracts official guidance, is human error.
I think China avoided saying for too long, its probably been in the European community since January.
It's a way of making kids cover their mouths / noses without using their hands.
Communicating with them in a way that makes them listen and engaging with them on a level that they'll respond to.
It's a guy trying to use his profile to help in some way.
