At any given time between 27 April and 10 May 2020, it is estimated that an average of 0.27% of the community population had COVID-19 (95% confidence interval: 0.17% to 0.41%).

It is estimated that an average of 148,000 people in England had COVID-19 during this time (95% confidence interval: 94,000 to 222,000).

There is no evidence of differences in the proportions testing positive between the age categories 2 to 19, 20 to 49, 50 to 69 and 70 years and over.

Anyone who goes needs to be pulled by police.

make them sign documents stating they waiver their right to use the health service if they catch COVID-19.

If they can't play ball, and happy to do this. Then they should be happy to be refused help if they become ill from their idiotic decisions!

Give them zero publicity as thats all they are craving, totally ignore the twats then get some water cannons on them !

Current estimate of people infected.

Can’t really compute that low figure. When you Prince Charles, our PM, flipping Tom Hanks et al (and my little boys best friends dad had it)...highly contagious etc. I’d guess way higher. I suppose ‘currently’ have it explains a little but still...

Interesting. Some theories that mouthwash could be useful. Dunno how useful, but we'll see I guess.

It's like the warm water salt gargle thing from early doors It reduces the viral load in the throat where infection begins. Which is good. As I understand it, the lower the initial viral load you get, the longer it gives your immune system to fight it

Great survey driven from my former workmates in Titchfield Hampshire.
