China Coronavirus

Can anyone answering me this - we went into lockdown at the end of March, say 30 days ago, and the virus has 14 day risk period - should we not be seeing much lower figures than we are in terms of new cases?  I'm getting increasingly pessimistic that this virus is very stubborn and has still plenty of fight left in it.  Where are these new cases coming from if we are spending most of our time in the house?

I can't answer that either and would prefer your post not to get lost in the mass of link pasting then excerpts from the link people can read for themselves!!

I can only guess people have passed to other people in households and workplaces. Then they will already have their herd immunity lol. To be honest I am puzzled too. I , like yourself, do not follow how so many still get it.

Activities involving close contact, such as hairdressing, are done by a household member, but with guidance provided by a professional via video link.

This was an interesting suggestion, if you do not live alone. Perhaps dentistry could be on a similar basis.

I'd say that would end well!

Alot of it is down to the numbers of tests..... They are expanding testing based on need (or how much money you seem to have) So the more people that are tested the more positives you are going to get.
To gauge the spread in the community in Los Angles County in California they were using the % of positives. I think I heard them mentioned is was 10% in LA county whereas in New York 40% of all the people tested were positive.

In any case the key thing is that while the increase may be increasing numerically day to day it is slowing as a percentage.

Who's forcing anyone to read them? What can be wrong with providing access to further information on the subject of a thread? Do you complain that there are too many books in your local library?

Very much so.

Lockdown as it stands at the moment is not working as well as we would hope. How new cases are occurring is something that needs to be ascertained ASAP.

Are shops the common factor?

Health workers are now about 25% of all cases and probably a higher percentage of the new cases.

Wonder will that be a reason for people not going into the health sector?

How are the hospitals surviving with the no of staff down?

I was reading earlier that Dybala (Juve player) is still positive for it six weeks after his initial diagnosis.

Seafoid did you get a ticking off for copying and pasting those articles?

Only posting the links its no biggie but on the Brexit thread he would post the whole article, which was the equivalent of pulling out the books in the library and setting them on the floor.

I don't see the problem. How hard is it to skip what you don't want to read? Many of those articles would  be from sources most would not have subscriptions to.

In China they were finding people testing positive twice up to a month later but showing no symptoms the second time round.

Anyhow, the yanks seem so some positive news on a treatment.

They've (yanks) so many cases cause their tests are soooo much better that the rest of the world

+1. I don't see the issue. Though when he posts several I would like it if he rated them in order, so I could just go straight to the best article. We don't all have time to read them all!

Dow Jones Index up over 2% today, has been quietly rising since the mid-March crash. They must be looking long-term.

Many sites, including the FT and the New York Times have made the virus articles free.

The tests are beautiful, ask anybody. I know more about tests than probably anybody.
