China Coronavirus

What is baffling about schools is that if a child gets it they send the class home.

What about mixing with other classes at break time and lunch time?

I know for a fact many classes all mix during these times - does it not spread then?

With regards to Covid this is one we have to file under: Things we think, but cannot say.

Oh sorry.
So classes are not supposed to mix during break and lunch but they do and no one is allowed to say anything.
Got it

923 positive cases up north today and looks like a further 15-20 in hospital. The 15-20 seems to have been standard this week. That's not a growth rate that can be kept up or there's big trouble Looks like maybe an additional 3 in ICU since the start of the week. An 80 year old woman died of it

923 cases from 5,783 tests. ROI yesterday had 611 cases from 14,407 tests. Probably a big number of cases again today after having 754 positive swabs on 15,880 tests in the last 24 hours.

How many more daily cases would NI have if they did 14 to 16k in testing?

Theres clearing something in daily routines that is being 'overlooked'.

Robin Swann would settle for 227 cases in a day, and he has only one quarter of the population of Finland.

1000 cases this week in Derry and Strabane . Twice as many as Belfast with 3 times less of a population.
Including myself I know of 25 others . I got positive result Sunday morning. My main symptoms are extreme fatigue. The fatigue comes on very suddenly. Sleeping during the day every day. No desire to do anything. But all other symptoms have gone except for mild mucous producing cough at night and heart palpitations.

What do you think you did 'wrong' to catch it?
(Not trying to blame you or anything like it! Just interested in how you think you contracted it)

I know the virus was only officially detected on this island around the end of Feb but being realistic it was probably here in December or before, it has obviously been in existence in China months before it became apparent and its likely a domino effect to each new country it transmits to. By the time testing, tracing and knowledge of the virus, it's probably already embedded there for months

If you don't believe that it started in Wuhan in Dec, then why believe that it began in China at all? If it was around in Europe in say Nov, then there is currently no known origin

This week the situation deteriorated significantly across Europe

It was clear at least 2 weeks ago that Covid was going to do more serious damage.

Has lethality dropped?

Weighting for the age profile of infected becoming a bit lower, it would appear so:
