    Wouldn't be surprised if half the OAPs who think this end up spiking a load of new cases congregating in queues for testing they didnt need.

    Once we are out of lockdown it's the difference between carrying on as normal or you and your household isolating for 14 days.

    Right now it does seem strange to bother, unless it's data driven and being used behind the scenes by the scientists and advisors.

    I definitely want the anti-body test when it becomes available, assuming it's accurate. I reckon I had a mild case of it about a month ago.

    The biggest study of Covid-19 patients in the UK shows a third admitted to hospital have died.

    Just under half have been discharged, with the rest still being treated.

    Prof Calum Semple, the chief investigator from the University of Liverpool, said the "crude hospital fatality rate is of the same magnitude as Ebola".

    He said around 35-40% of hospitalised Ebola patients die.

    "People need to hear this... this is an incredibly dangerous disease."
    Cheering stuff.

    Also heard the opposite of large queues so people nipping out of the car to nearby shops.

    It's shit, but you also have to factor in that literally everyone that gets Ebola is hospitalised (or dies in their shack). The vast Majority of people that get this, can't even be sure they have it. Some get no symptoms, some think it might be a cold or the flu.

    I would have CoronaVirus once a month for a year over getting Ebola once. It's ridiculous to compare them.

    Most studies give estimates for the mortality rate to be around 0.5% or so. The virus itself is not super deadly (1 in 200 people is still fairly rough though), it's just that it spreads like wildfire. The comparisons with ebola are silly.

    Shopping wise nothing much has changed; the main difference being we're having to remember everything in our one big shop of the week, whereas before I'd be nipping in for bits a couple of times a week.

    It's hardly a surprise to me, but being able to work from home (online learning with the kids, more or less picking my own hours) and only leaving the house for exercise and a bit of shopping more or less suits me to a tee. Going into school for a little bit of normality also keeps things ticking over nicely.

    We have loads of routes, both running and walking. Headingley and Kirkstall Abbey are the 'sights'.

    They can plan what the fuck they like, unless the Government give them the green light they have no chance. If they go against it they will have there licences revoked.

    The mother (60) has been self isolating after a resident tested positive in the care home she works. Relieved to report she is in the clear despite wiping his arse.

    Has the UK really surpassed Spain and France for deaths? That's some come-from-behind effort.

    I was secretly hoping most of the care home patients were transferred into hospitals before death.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they surpassed Italy soon as well. I'd guess there's more care home death reports incoming (and they've been having more hospital deaths than them anyway).

    As was discussed at the time, we left the lockdown too late.

    Ultimately it may not have a huge impact on the final toll as other incompetence will probably come to the fore, but we've lost more lives by this stage than we needed to, no doubt about that.

    On the plus side, I do think we'll hold on to the lockdown for longer. We have something the other countries don't: A leader who wound up in intensive care. Heck, #extendthelockdown is trending.

    I don't know/understand the details, but apparently you can tell by analyzing the genetic code that it's definitely not man made.

    We're starting planning for getting back towards normal at work, which feels a bit weird.

    Thinking this is man-made is 'Paul is dead' level conspiracy thinking, given the same thing has happened repeatedly throughout history including when genetic engineering was just a twinkle in the blacksmith's eye.

    Hasn't stopped 3 of my 4 managers at work circulating viral videos claiming it's a Chinese plot though (the other one is Russian and thinks the Salisbury Two were framed by MI5).
