Sorry, this is from a Chinese national that I know, I should have said that in my post. I imagine the measures are different for non-Chinese like you said.

I think Dr Fauci is doing an incredible job in very difficult circumstances. If he pushes Trump away, then what? He gets fired and they probably bring in a spineless yes man to do his job instead. You have to strike a very difficult balance in these situations when dealing with people that, rightly or wrongly, are not going away.
Prince of Wales tested positive now.
I swear looking at this thread gives me more anxiety than anything else I read.
If you're looking at numbers with very little information or without having done any reading on the situations of these countries for the past two months, you're going to have suspicions. It's one thing to have questions because you aren't fully informed, but it's quite another to come with full conspiracy hat on about dying testament of murdered doctors, and then go with look, the number don't look right to me when people question it.
And yet people still wanted to go to the pub...
All three of them?
The onus is still on the driver of a vehicle to make sure a car is roadworthy before driving it. Cars don't suddenly become safe or unsafe because of an MOT.
Prince Charles tests positive for the virus
Apparently he was working from home...
As we all sit here in confinement, think about this.
Just two weeks ago the government said it was comfortable that the Cheltenham festival went ahead, because large gatherings were not a risk.

I have a question regarding that Oxford paper that claimed half the population may have had it already and herd immunity is already happening. It's an intriguing argument and quite plausible to me but if it were true, wouldn't that mean there must have been a lot of Covid-related deaths before March in Europe? And is it possible that these would have attributed to the seasonal flu because we didn't know what we were looking for at that point? Seems a bit of a stretch to me but I'm happy to be corrected by one of the doctors on here.
Precisely. The government let it get to this point and is pointing the finger at the people and others are falling for this trap.
Whom did he have contact with that we know about?
That needs to be remembered for the inevitable inquiry afterwards. It was a shocking dereliction of their duty of care to the public.
That's not what they said though is it? They said they didn't want to shut things down too soon, and felt it was worth the festival going ahead.
Why must people always deal in absolutes?
And that fecking Pool v Atletico game at Anfield
Mind you that one was probably worth it.
Prince Albert
Mild symptoms? Then why the feck is he being tested?
That's what it would mean. If you look at it from the experience of an individual ICU doctor though, they might have seen only one instance in their hospital - probably in someone 70+ with other risk factors. They wouldn't necessarily see anything other than another pneumonia. Hopefully someone is looking at the history now, it would be great to think that with hindsight we could see something in the data.
Maybe too great though, and certainly bordering on wishful thinking until an antibody test tells us who has had the virus.
Why not?
Spain
Cases: 47,610 (+7.937, 3.166 in ICU)
Deaths: 3,434 (+738)
Recovered: 5,367
If you look at worldmeters they have added deaths throughout the day after the last official figures and when today's official numbers come out they added 443 more but the official figure is 738 in last 24 hours.

Because the NHS isn’t testing regular people with average symptoms
If me or you called up with mild symptoms we will be told to stay at home and self isolate. Not a chance we’d be tested until we had to go to hospital.
He is a regular person though. If he died there would just be another head of state in waiting. If you think it’s alright that certain people get more or better treatment then knock yourself out.
I think that a lot of that depends on what percentage of cases are asymptomatic or very mild. Also, didn't China broaden their definition of Coronavirus symptoms for testing around February, thus an increase in confirmed cases? It's very possible to me that in that time, a lot more people could have already been exposed to it, thinking it was just the common cold or a bad bout of flu. Seems crazy but I remember in late January being bed ridden, had a pounding headache, fever and body aches. Probably just the regular flu, but it makes you think.
Yea I know they’re not saying you can’t do it, it just seemed a strange thing to say can be overlooked when I first heard it.
You don’t need to SORN a car with no MOT, but insurance renewal is a fair point I hadn’t considered, I think the vehicle needs an MOT to insure doesn’t it?
More to it than I’d initially thought tbf.
Getting back from the garage and going back to collect is another fair point, yes.
Those assumptions are based on NHS guidelines, not private healthcare guidelines.
It would be quite a big deal of he died.
Local MP has written to them apparently.
He said, and I quote 'shutting will have little effect.
He was wrong and stop defending it.

True, but its still illegal to drive without a current MOT and it invalidates your insurance. If the MOT's run out don't drive the car is best bet!
People live to politicise things... even pandemics.
Shame that all those people were forced (against their will) to go for a piss up at Cheltenham.
Of course people who have important positions should be tested first. Everyone was criticising Trump a week back for not getting a test.
Again though, testing shouldn’t be available to people just because they’re rich or some outdated traditions make them ‘important’.
What is his important position? What is Prince Charles doing on a daily basis?
