break down of the signs and symptoms, some known, some new, data coming from the Covid App with 3 millon users.

-typically people get better in 2 weeks. 1 in 10 lasts 3+ weeks.

-Severe respitory issues usually in the 2nd week.

-Mild symptoms seem to come in waves over extended periods. one day having diarrhea then its gone, then head aches and then gone...

-Tim Spector ( lead academic of kings collage Covid App ), His words "The more we learn about this virus the weirder it gets" "Having studied over 100 diseases, Covid is the strangest in my medial career.

Germany could be more at risk of a second wave than us.
They locked down and test/traced early on. Therefore they have less people who will have had the virus.
Their death toll has been quietly rising despite those early measures. This added to the fact they only record deaths if Covid was the cause.
They will have the same dilemma as our government. Economy versus public health. Be interesting to see which they chose.

We are no where near the level of infected to have any effect on a possible 2nd wave.

Just happens to be how long it takes to calculate it I guess, these figures always have a lag.

Thanks that’s helpful to know. I also noted that South West, Scotland and Northern Ireland have higher R rates but have low numbers of cases which might partly lend themselves to fluctuations in the R rate.
 
Some of the residents of a tower block in Goettingen in Germany who are in lockdown have been rioting against police. We’ve sort of accepted the argument, to date, that Germans and some other countries would be far more compliant than the UK with anti Covid measures but it’s not always the case.

We (the UK) may have been more compliant than the scientists expected (possibly not in the North West) and the late lockdown was influenced by a false assumption.
 
Scotland today. 0 deaths. Second day running. Though Sunday figures of course.

Only 14 new cases. Hospital numbers 867 (-3) and ICU 15 (-1).

Karen on hospital numbers I think (not sure) the numbers I cite as a scoreboard every day are admissions as they do not simply equate to the total England case numbers reported on tests.

But either way whatever that measures - positive tests or admissions - for comparison from these same figures - Stockport - which added 9 cases over the past 4 days - in the days around what we know now was the peak in Early April they added on four consecutive days 24, 28, 40 and 68 - total 160 - so nearly 18 times as many admissions then as now. And that 68 in Stockport on one day (April 9 - day after the UK had its highest ever death toll of over 1500 deaths) topped the whole number of north west cases for each day of the past week (bar the worst where they were equal).
