If only they could roll out those antibody tests, then informed decisions based on the results could be made.

BBC reports that A&E visits in England are down to record low.
Which maybe more significantly means that A&E visits by time-wasting c***s are down to a record low. Tho very recently saw a C4 News interview with an A&E doctor in Wales suggesting the drunk/drugs weekender time-wasting c***s are back in town

Yes, and no.
It seems antibody tests may not be the be all and end all, and there is a growing theory that a number of people who are infected are so mildly infected they do not produce antibodies, killing the infection via other means. Children, for example.
Antibody tests may give us some indication, but still not the fuller picture.

Heading down quite rapidly, causes much lower and 72k people tested. In addition to this NHS England hospital deaths down from 383 last week to 207 today.

Still falling numbers in the Hospital

Drat! and double drat!
Spoken to a doctor at the RSH and there are only 27 covid19 cases in covid wards with 5 in ICU at the moment,said we have got away with things very lightly in Sussex.

Interesting the gap between people tested and tests conducted. Many people must be tested a couple of times on the same day - doesn't scream full trust in the result. Overall trajectory is positive.

Very well done all of you. Take a bow this evening when we are all clapping you - you deserve it.
Doubt it's people being tested twice in a day - I think the 'people tested' column should be 'new people tested'. Still seems a high number going back for second tests regardless...............
Interesting ONS figures that 148000 have been infected in last 2 weeks
I went for good news as 148000 currently infected excluding those in hospital and care home settings seemed a high number and a step towards any possibility of herd immunity

Which begs the question, what amount of people could have been infected during the peak of infections at the end/middle of March.
Exactly what I was thinking and clearly a large number of these aren't needing hospitalization. Not to say that they wont at some stage but making the assumption that infected numbers were far higher at peak it's likely a percentage wont need it.

If they don't run a story line of Ian Beale going slow mad (again) while socially isolating from the rest of the square they've missed a trick. He'll end up looking like this due to the closure of the launderette and all barbers on the square.

I may have had it mid March, I will check it out once the keyworkers have taken up the antibodies tests.
I think there will be far higher % of the nation have had it than first thought.
Which like you said could be very good news although I know it doesn't guarantee immunity at this point.
I don’t know if it’s all time wasters, I think I may have broken or cracked a rib doing DIY( don’t ask) about 6 weeks ago.
It feels the same as when I did 2 ribs when I was in my 20s, but, I really didn’t want to go to A&E, so, asked Dr Google and found they don’t do anything for them now, no strapping etc so I left it alone and it appears to be healing.
