Think this is why they should ramp up this type of testing as this theory could be right

MailOnline earlier had an article saying we(UK) are currently making 1 million tests in a factory in Senegal available ‘within weeks’

Could be a flawed one but my personal theory is once antibodies testing is done, it will be discovered a lot more people have had this virus without even knowing than many think.

That paper [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] mentioned from Wuhan would absolutely back this up, if it gets peer reviewed and greenlit.

The official numbers (so far) were that 80,000-odd in Wuhan were infected. That paper suggested that over 1,900,000 had actually been infected.

Have they got one yet? I read they were working on it, but that was a few days ago and that’s a long time with all things Covid.

What we don't know is if the number of cases is still rising sharply, and it's just the deaths that are not - which is very frustrating. I guess people working in hospitals would be able to give us a feel for this?

Sadly, cases must surely be rocketing due to the idiots not taking any care about themselves and others with social distancing ignored.

Small decrease in Italian numbers for the second day running, still not good.

Matt Handcock is basically our prime minister, Boris isn't intelligent enough or cares enough to know what to do in times of crisis.

Misses says shes never seen so many empty beds at the hospital, I think the next couple of weeks things are seemingly going to get quite bad

Surely our wives/gf's don't need that explained ?

Had to pick up some emergency plumbing supplies due to a big leak in bathroom resulting in no working toilet. Reluctantly went out to buy the parts required. Could not believe the number of people in the DIY shop buying stuff that is clearly not critical. Buying compost, plants and landscaping bark is hardly necessary as I saw several people doing including an elderly couple. Crazy. Why take the risk?

So they can be occupied at home while they are locked in for several months

Hong Kong appeared to have the coronavirus under control, then it let its guard down

Good luck in that briefing, I have to basically twist my misses arm off to get one of them.

Unfortunately I think that paper has to be taken with a pinch of salt as it assumes the chinese data is robust and also, if correct, the number of infected Italians would be ~25% of the total population, as it suggests a mortality rate of 0.04%.

Just got our frontline key worker travel email passes through so, and it’ll be no surprise to anyone, we are expecting lockdown in the next few hours. Which, if you are abiding by the advice anyway, will make almost zero difference but will hopefully make this all a bit easier.
Good news for key workers too, as we want to travel with as few people around as possible to reduce the risk of infection on our journeys.

Just had my key worker certificate given to me today, looks like lockdown soon hopefully. Any way take care, and stay safe, same goes to all others that will work while we are in lockdown. If your not working please please please stay in, unless you need essential s and don't forget the people who can't get out. Together we can beat this.

He has, anyone who tries to respond to a Piers Morgan question and then just shouted over when responding and doesn't tell him to **** off has remarkable patience

I’m going to predict the address to the nation.

1. Further lockdown measures announced due to the behaviour of ‘some people’. Not the government’s fault.

2. The government are being led by ‘the science’ (he’ll say this repeatedly like he said ‘let’s get Brexit done’). Not the government’s fault if the advice is wrong and thousands die.

3. The government can’t stop Covid-19 (so don’t blame them) only the nation working together can.

And you mate. Keep safe.

Where did you get 0.04% from?
