technically i dont think he can be furloughed as he is "working from home"

Some can be recovered a while back of course.
I can see a small amount having it earlier than thought, some recovered and some deaths just weren't suspected but we would've seen a large uptick in the deaths in UK per day/week and elsewhere, we can see Italy is a 3-4 weeks ahead and the real outbreak in Europe/UK is pretty much how we see it.

Up to his boss whether or not she feels the job can be appropriately done from home.
If Boris Johnson has got it surely them scientists and politicians working in close contact with him should have it too?
Stream seems behind.
Which is why they'll all be routinely tested to reduce the risk of taking down everyone at once.
The posts saying Boris needs testing because he's too important are just as ridiculous as those saying he doesn't.
The amount of people replying to Boris' tweet saying they hope he dies...some of them 15/16 year olds. He's a bellend but shame on you.
Don't think that's proven. Seems to be quite a number of people who had the virus weeks before their test and still got a positive for it.
Tom Hanks now too
Imagine questioning if we should test the leader of our countryI think the bloke is a buffoon, but its just bizarre logic to think he's not an important person to test.
It really is crazy isn’t it. Any world leader would be exactly the same.
Also, people might hate the royal family but do they honestly think that the future king of this country is not going to get tested when he has corona virus symptoms?
Find that interesting. They say anonymised but if you can identify someone through trends in the anonymised data alongside other data sets then it isn't under EU law.
I wonder how specific they can track these.
Cheers pal.
It’s everywhere in fairness and will only increase by the bucket load daily I’d imagine, when you consider how fast it moved from a market in China to the entire globe.
Their advice to just wash your hands kinda backfired.
Supposed to be a number of cases in Wuhan, China too.
Sheffield stuck out for me as a wierd result, whether they're testing more or they have a more local outbreak is stirring the curiosity.

I hope he dies. I very much doubt he will but I think it would be a wake up call for the world. I'm also wary of how a PM who has already shown a reckless attitude to the pandemic would behave if he himself were to be immune.
Down to inches ?
In Norway it's only been used to track the effects of the lockdown, showing a major difference in activity outside.
He’s followed the scientific advice and you hope he dies for it? Erm... ok.
Damn.
Heard Italy has a few infected.
Justinian I now infected. RIP in peace. lul.
If I truly thought he could be trusted to follow scientific majority views, which he has dismissed previously, I would be praying for him.
Just heard some scientist from Wuhan working on biological weapons has now got it too.
Surely it must be due to more testing that?
Mental post.
Oh well said
Terrible thing to say about him, isn’t it..
To be fair it matches to praying to Asclepius.
If the mods decide that's not a thing we can say, I'll take the hit.
If pretty much everyone else decides it's not a thing we should say, I'll shut up and not say things like it again.
I personally don't think it's an inappropriate level of coldness towards our leaders during a worldwide crisis that endangers pretty much all of us.
Is someone able to update me, I'm still a bit confused. Has it been confirmed that this is no longer mutating and the scientists at least know what they are dealing with? Obviously I mean that for treatment/vaccine because I thought the original difficulty was also they were concerned it kept changing and was a different strand almost every time
Just found an article & their director of health is attributing it down to rigorous testing - seems like they're on the front foot & others trusts should take note.
Yeah, but when you figure down from total beds to acute care beds the UK resolves into a single dubious datapoint from 2017. I think that's because someone changed the definitions in 2010 so it's now difficult to ascertain the true numbers. A better source for the relative distribution of hospital beds over time is presented here. It's sufficiently clear from the figures that both governments reduced general and acute care beds, but it's certainly not the case that the 2000's government reduced them at a faster rate. I'm not really pointing fingers though, most advanced healthcare systems have being trying to make as much healthcare external to hospitals as they can.
Two areas that post 2010 governments have done better in is in expanding critical and social care bed numbers.
