COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[twosips]

It's not just asymptomatic though is it? How many of us have had the flu, a cold or pneumonia since xmas and it was in fact covid?

I'm going to take a guess and say a few % at most. Absolutely nowhere near 90 odd percent.

I have to say, I’m absolutely sick and tired of hearing about “Project Return”.

I’ve just been out walking the dog so haven’t seen the news. I went on BBC news website to catch up on the live feed. The picture of a Premier League ball with a face mask leant against it looks so fucking out of place it makes me feel sick.

For fuck’s sake - when will they learn - nobody gives a fuck.

Yes and I have read it before ,the way they do the counting was changed right before target day

Read it before? Was only updated this morning. The change before target day was to include postal tests which up till then didn't exist should they ignore them?

Maybe - no way to know, but if so could explain the Mcr Uni figure.

I think it should be called project 'we've got no other sports news'. They are literally making bollocks up to stop the back few pages of the papers being blank now.

since early / mid March maybe. Since Christmas, nope.

Are we reckoning that the Germany study of the carnival town of Gangelt and the American study of who had had it in New York State were utterly unreliable? But hurrah, the Brits have got it right.

Let's hope so. Save lives and piss on your fireworks at the same time. What a wonderful combination.

I'm not pretending I know anything you don't, but really how can we put a date on the first case if 80% are apparently mild /asymptomatic? My Mrs had flu late Jan then I had what my GP diagnosed as community acquired pneumonia a week later. No idea if it was covid or not, but symptoms certainly match up and can't be sure it wasn't. I sort of hope it was tbh as we may now have antibodies.

It is political that is why,hancock was never going to fail his target,massive jump up on the day from the tests till that point then dropped right off right after,using tests as a political game is not on.they said in the briefing only a small amount of people are tested twice so the difference between completed tests and their tests counted are not because of that,it is fiddling numbers,it is not honest,they should not be playing politics with a pandemic
It is like trump,look over there and not at the failings in the handling of the virus

Wrong thread.
