COVID-19 — Coronavirus

What's happening with antibody testing, it seems to have gone very quiet on that front.

Still not one specific enough for clinical use,every country is trying to find one

great isn’t it , like watching rollerball

What about social distancing. Will they change the offside law so that if you are no more than 2 metres in front of the last defender you are still onside?

Seems to be taking a long time, and its not clear if the actual virus test is 100% accurate either.

The whole face mask situation to me is straightforward. If they advise using a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough then surely a face mask is more effective than that. Also it restricts droplets being emitted when people speak. The only reason they didn't push it is there was a shortage. Even now I haven't seen any for sale anywhere. That suggest there isn't any as retailers would otherwise have shelves full of them to make a profit.

I was gobsmacked this morning to hear our approach to just allowing thousands of people into the country because the virus was already here so it didn't make a difference. Incredible.

Very sensible post indeed. Course it was to stop the public buying the whole stock. Do they think we are idiots ffs?

There still isn't any, if there is I haven't come across them when out shopping.

German Bundesliga starts at the weekend. They still have the virus.

Although Germany’s figures are better than ours, I think that’s a crass move to be honest.

Many things about covid is a surprise ,i remember at the start the scientists assumed it would just be another corona virus that would act the same as the others

Went to see the neurologist with the missus on February 12th and he made a joke about us not having the virus yet and what a fuss over a flu bug. Can't wait to see him again
