COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[purplenose]

So no new infections in London in 24hrs.

Does anybody else find that incredible? I do especially as in many parts of London there has been at best minimal compliance with the lock down, there are huge amounts of the most at risk BAME people and many living close together. Not much of that has changed in the last month infact like everywhere else any adherence to lock down was beginning to fragment in most places. Despite this infections have fallen away to nil.

I am not for one minute suggesting social distancing and lockdown have not had a huge effect or that it was in anyway an over reaction as some are claiming. It was certainly the right thing to do with what was known at the time and we did it too late. Regardless putting the risk of offending by suggesting some communities observed lock down more than others, could this fall in infections be because it simply ran out of people to infect?

If so what does that tell us?

What other reason could there be? Ideas?

Passengers arriving at Heathrow Airport are having their temperatures screened for the first time since the coronavirus outbreak.

A trial launched today will see cameras monitor the temperature of people at the immigration hall at Terminal 2

Also says the hope it will get people flying again,i want to know if anyone on the flight i am getting on has it or I would not get on,if we wouldn't know that how would it persuade anyone to fly

Cheers — I was just reading up on the support proposal; nice of the government to fashion a fairly comprehensive (initial) economic response.

More will be needed, but I won’t bring work and doom/gloom on to here tonight. After the day I have had (seeing the numbers being projected) I am looking for some escapism.

@SebastianBlue hey lovely xx

It does beggar belief. Does it really mean that London is Covid free. Are the numbers true? Its not even the weekend when you might expect small numbers. Will be interesting to see what the next few days brings.

Saw in the news yesterday, someone from the airline industry saying checks should be done at departures not arrivals. So people can be stopped from flying with other passengers then needing to be turned around or quarantined. Makes sense, probably better to do both but if only one departures would be better.

The number of tests would be small in relation to the overall population of London so I very much doubt that London is covid free though it's clearly on the wane there, I think the previous day's figure was 19 cases.

Been recording less that 100 a day for over 2 weeks now. They are estimating 1 in 6 have had it maybe all the ones who are still traveling or working are the ones who had it? Maybe the virus is just naturally dying out as other similar ones do as the summer approaches? A third of UK hospitals also recorded no deaths for 2 days, the prediction of no daily deaths by the end of June looks likely at the moment.
