I find it a little strange that Charles has it yet Camilla hasn't. Maybe it's not as contagious as they say, or maybe the royal couple don't get too close anymore.

Goodness knows what percentage of the population actually has it but I'd imagine it's very very high.

If we aren't testing people how do we know if the “lockdown” is working?

Not seen tonight's or today's news but it isn't exactly a lockdown and the way the folk were crammed like cattle on the tube yesterday was disgusting to see.

Tonight's news not great a 21 year women and a 47 year old man have both died apparently no other health conditions . Seeing some of the videos of people that have it this is nothing like getting the flu, if it takes hold full on you are in for a battle.

Here in Sandbach Cheshire I don't "yet" know anyone whose got it.
Folks in general seem to be following the rules, sadly its the younger generation still ignoring the advice(altough the last 24 hours I think there visabilty has reduced)
The boy racers seem to be more active though.
I can't swim as the pool is closed so I'm having my daily exercise on foot.
I've cleaned/hoovered "her indoors " car ( how many shoes & umbrellas does she need LOL) , cleaned the shed & garage but now she wants to tidy "my shed"
While sorting the garage out she wanted to chuck out my buckets OMG my buckets ! "one can't have too many buckets."
So folks take care, keep safe, eventually this will be history .
Fingers crossed Boris & the lockdown will be effective & hopefully come Autumn we might be looking like the worst is over but not out of the woods totally.
Take care

Having read the stats I'm more scared of catching normal Flu
I like a few have mentioned had something pretty nasty just before Xmas, mental cough, short of breath etc (don't remember having much of a fever though?) took weeks to shift. Everyone, and I mean everyone at my wife's office (university) had it, usually if someone's ill at work maybe a couple of people get it but this went through them all, who knows.

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story!

Several months ago my brother's girlfriends brother went to a house party with his girlfriend. He's in his 20's nice lad I've met a few times. During the party a guy in his 40's, drunkenly started having a go verbally at his girlfriend. He tried to calm the situation down unsuccessfully and was viciously attacked by the guy and savagely beaten within an inch of his life by a weapon. Amongst the multiple injuries were very serious skull fractures and later on confirmed brain damage. He's been mostly in a coma these past few months, with sporadic signs of recovery. The alleged attacker has been on remand. This last 2 weeks he's been moved to 2 different hospital's as COVID-19 has appeared on the wards. Yesterday they moved him to the second and placed a DNR on him.
Now if this poor lads fight has run it's course, God rest him.
But I really hope that COVID-19 is nowhere near this animal's defence lawyers notes.
None of his family is allowed in to see him because of this lockdown. The thought that I could get a phone call that someone I care about has been hospitalized with this virus or any other life threatening condition really worries me. The thought that they could be dying and I'm not allowed to see them and they're alone apart from clinicians makes me question if I could abide by the rules if this happened. Hopefully it won't.
Many ways this dirty b*****d virus affects lives without contracting it.
