Very good point! Again I absolutely do not want to see the NHS privatised but you wouldn’t get people taking the piss if there was a consultation fee on arrival at A&E! The public needs a better working knowledge on health and well-being.
Bit of a moot poll considering Labour effectively has no leader, no mandate and has been effectively invisible for the last 3 months.
Yep seen little of Corbyn and he obviously feels so irrelevant now. Just the timing of that poll after the corona three tested positive.
Next election so far away they will probably still get away with the shambolic herd approach.
Am i too late to post this ?
I think vitamin c may be one of the most studied supplements. But still, what's the best published study you've seen for safety and effectiveness?
I'd be happy to have a chip implanted in my arm, quite honestly!
Testing is only the 1st step. Its like a weighing machine. Tells me I am over-weight. Now what?
Containment is the key -- trace, track, map and isolate.
Natural selection is about to take place in a big way. People seems to think self isolation is for everyone but them and the government only in last few days have started enforcement. Some mosques are still open...

It's quite well established that it does have at least some effect on a cold, particularly for people carrying out intense exercise (and therefore having a depleted immune respone).
The Chinese study was something like 25,000mg daily given intravenously to Covid patients, so way beyond anything you would normally see.
Only 135 people who tested positive for this in the UK recovered (15%). I understand that's people who have been tested and are likely to be the elderly but it's still quite scary.
I thought this was quite an interesting graphic:
There's quite a long recovery time for the severely ill so those stats may just represent a bit of a lag on active cases. We should see a much higher percentage over the next few week hopefully.
With the 13 or 14 percent daily increase in deaths worldwide by next sunday there'll between 72 and 75k deaths worldwide. Crazy
That's true. Hopefully not the opposite for the thousands of mild active cases
Those who have been tested are mostly those who have been in hospital so they would take longer to recover than most with mild symptoms
I know you meant well, and I mean as well too. I'm just doing exactly as Government advised.
My sister works at UCL hospital and is tending to ventilated patients right now. I asked her advice hours before my flight, and she told me as per Ministry of Health, my requirement was work from home and isolation/distancing as other's UNTIL I noticed any symptoms, and then strict quarantine. I've read the website after I landed.

So sad. Seeigng people putting their life on the line to help others in this way is astonishing, and agonising.
Quite. His four kids all medical professionals as well.
This country would've been utterly screwed long ago without the contribution of British South Asians to the NHS.
The author concludes "The failure of vitamin C supplementation to reduce the incidence of colds in the general population indicates that routine vitamin C supplementation is not justified, yet vitamin C may be useful for people exposed to brief periods of severe physical exercise."
So when you say it does have some effect particularly for people carrying out intense exercise might it not be more accurate to say only for people carrying out intense exercise?
Look at the data, it's really not that effective.
1019 deaths in the UK
The threshold for 'recovered' is that their tests return as negative. It doesn't take into account that some patients might feel absolutely fine despite still being positive.
And as you say, this figure only includes those who have previously been tested. Since we've only been testing serious cases, these patients will necessarily have been the ones with high viral loads. So it makes sense that it's taking a long time for the virus to clear their systems.
If you think about all the people who have never been tested because they had any serious symptoms to begin with, the real number of 'recovered' will probably be in the tens of thousands.

It's pretty much full lockdown so anyone coming back from abroad doesn't have to do anything different from regular folk now.
Total rather than new, I hope.
Awful, either way
yeah total, just said it on sky news
Does anyone follow Dr John Campbell on youtube?
260 new deaths. Eggs are totally smashed.
34% up from yesterday, but yes not looking good but expected really.
It's down to 12% now after today's data. Hoping recovery rates increase or it is not looking good at all.
43% up on yesterday's daily figure of 181.
What's Tommy Robinson done?
Horrible news today with deaths rising to over 1k total.
May everybody rest in peace.

Over 9000 dead in Italy and 5000 in Spain
