COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[BlueHammer85]

The problem is the media get hold of it, report it wrong and then the government are fighting journalists off and have lost control, further losing public confidence. Better keeping it secret if you ask me.

problem is. If they don’t reveal the stats then more people relax and just go back to the norm which is what’s escalating the problem.

They do now mate they're going off the symptoms you report, all i'll say is personally i've never had anything like this 6 days with temperature over 100f.

someone was on tv was saying when your temp is up that is your imune system kicking in and doing its job and not reccomended to try to bring it down unless of course its threatening life, ibuprofen is not recomended as it narrows the airways but paracetomol is fine

To summerise the WHO press conference.

Testing any possible infected a must.

Prevention from isolating those infected is a must.

Prevention from cutting the chance of infection through mass contact and social isolation and containment is necessary.

Solidarity of people and nations and working together is to be commended and recomended.

Here are several in-depth reviews of this principle for managing epidemics/pandemics that I would definitely encourage everyone to read, if they haven’t already.

I'm off the fence of criticising the govt's stance.

Fucking lock down. Now.

Thank you. it's pretty shit I can tell you if you're suspected of having you'll know best of luck with it clearing up. NHS line and Doc's are pretty much a waste of space basically its stay at home take pain relief and get in touch if you get worse 6 days in still high temp.

I was lucky to get it 3 weeks ago as then 111 got me immediate help and treatment and tested which was positive,i think now it is harder to get that help as the advice has changed,don't be alarmed if you feel better but then goes back a bit,that happened to me,it does get easier,if you have paracetamol or simliar then take it regularly,neurofen seems a no no now though,it is vile but it does get better

They didn't say anything surprising but some people need to hear these things repeatedly to finally get them.

"not infectious after a week" - from what moment starting?

A week after the symptoms start
