I understand that they are planning to test Key works ect but if jo public has a temp or cough with out a test then there will be no record of that being a case of covid 19 . This in turn makes the governments strategy look better then it really is. I don't see at the moment how countries like Germany France Spain have a far greater daily case rate compared to ours unless they are testing everybody that has some of the symptoms or they really do have more people going to hospital then we do at the moment.
I have yet to see one press conference that a member of the press has challenged Boris on this point.

The number of recorded cases has always been pretty meaningless, as it all depends on who gets tested and takes no account of those who have no symptoms.
It's the number of people in hospital, in intensive care, and ultimately the number of deaths that this thing will be measured by.

I wasn't going to share this but as so many people are not taking heed of advice I've had a rethink.
I don't know much detail but a young fit sport playing friend of my nephew is seriously ill in hospital with the corona virus. Also another confirmed case a mile or so away but no details yet.
It obviously can affect all, even the fit and healthy so take care, do what you can to minimise contact and take the advice on hygiene.
As Mike says good luck with it.

If a young fit healthy person is getting it it's down to virus saturation, basically inhaling / consuming a large amount of the virus through there nose / mouth which could be from prolonged exposure to someone sneezing / coughing or being in a group with similar actions........

Judging by the tube this morning where commuters were packed in carriages like sardines I guess there's going be quite a few more who will now get it.
Then again what does one expect when the government left it to people's own devices as to what is essential to travel. I'd say there are many many people who find it essential to travel to get to their work as I doubt anytime soon three course meals will be landing on their dining tables out of thin air.

Kind of irrelevant as you won't know for sure if you've had it unless you are tested, and as people who aren't seriously ill aren't getting a test then nobody can know for sure, and if they are that ill then posting on a fishing forum will be the last thing I their minds I'd guess

Don't know if corona but got aching arms, legs, shoulders, sore throat, runny nose.
Kind of strange as most of the time I feel like 5h1t and other times I feel even 5h1tt1er.
Don't know if surviving man flu in the past will stand me in good stead.
