it’s amazing how easy it is for celebrities with little or no symptoms to get tested.

An NHS anaesthetist who is on the frontline in the fight against the coronavirus has spoken anonymously to Sky News.

We have well over 50 cases as of the weekend and our intensive care is nearly full of coronavirus patients on breathing support machines

It is simply not true that only the very elderly who we can imagine "would have died soon anyway" will get sick.

I have looked after more than one patient who is in their early 60s with minor or no health complaints and who exercises regularly

I want you to know that young people can and do become critically unwell and die from COVID-19. A colleague of mine is currently looking after several patients under the age of 40, all on ventilators

Ok, people won’t go because they’ve been told not to. Naive

Asked not to

Er, not really. It would be a bit of a stretch to imagine that someone in Italy gets tested positive, gets seriously ill, gets taken into hospital and then presumably intensive care and then dies. And then we conclude it has nothing to do with Coronavirus. There's been 2,158 recorded deaths from this in Italy and I imagine 2,158 of them are people who died from as a result of Coronavirus.

There is a separate question as to how many of these people might have died anyway over the next year or two, had they NOT contracted Coronavirus. That's different.

There’s been cases of people catching it in hospital who were unfortunately going to die anyway. Not that it really matters in the grand scheme of things.

All depends on how quick that vaccine comes through.

18 months minimum I understand!

I posted this earlier but worth reiterating, I’d also point out a lot f pharmacies do a free delivery service

Sorry mate. Hard to keep up with the speed of the thread.

Think Idris has it here, transparency is key. I think I read on here someone posted that they knew of others on here who had tested positive but wanted to remain anonymous as they know people on here in the offline world. You’d hope they’d let those people know if they came into contact with them.

Does he know there’s someone behind him?
