They have literally never had to actually deal with a real issue.

Probably your local surgery. Got this on Mondayquote:To stop Coronavirus spreading we have been advised that patients DO NOT attend the Doctors Surgery without a prior booked appointment. This is due to the need for us to triage patients before booking an appointment, to ensure that nobody with Coronavirus symptoms attends the Surgery. We have temporarily disabled the appointments available to book online for this reason. As ASK NHS is a triage service this will stay open. If you need to request a prescription, please do this via the prescription email or through the patient access APP, for anything else please call our Reception team. We thank you for your understanding in this difficult time DON'T PANIC

I got one on Monday, and they've changed their hold message to say "if you've been to Wuhan" etc there were also big posters/exhibition stands outside the practice telling people who think they have it to go away there wasn't really anything like that (as far as I noticed) at a+e, just standard posters, but there were Corona pods/portacabins outside the main entrance of the hospital (plus it's arrowe park where they quarantined a bunch of people, but that was apparently in the accommodation blocks out the back) e: it's not a great time to be unrelatedley unwell, really at least I'm not at work!

I don't know why the authorities are keeping up with this "Only if you've been to Wuhan or Italy or Iran" bullshit, seriously. Do they think the virus can only transmit from one person to another in certain territories, and when someone flies to the UK the virus is like "welp, guess i'm stuck in this one person now" I know there's a lot of flu about and people are easily mistaking it for Covid, but it's patently obvious it's spreading here and we should just be testing loving everyone

I know someone posted the UK covid dashboard earlier, but just in case: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/f94c3c90da5b4e9f9a0b19484dd4bb14 Also, this is pretty interesting, regarding Italy's higher death rate - https://nextstrain.org/ncov?c=gt-S_614 There's a mutation on the spike protein that seems to be basically just expressed in the italian cases. Seeing as that's the important one for infectivity, wonder if this is making it easier to gain entry to cells? (I mean, I know that there's also a more elderly population in Italy that's more likely. But it sure is interesting!)

Do they think the virus can only transmit from one person to another in certain territories, and when someone flies to the UK the virus is like "welp, guess i'm stuck in this one person now" Because the testing capacity is limited and therefore needs to be limited to the higher-risk groups. (As of yesterday the testing criteria expanded significantly to "anyone admitted to hospital" with respiratory illness). Bear in mind that, even testing only the 'high risk' groups, out of 26,261 tests in the UK, 387 have been positive.

That is true, and those test results are quite promising. I hope we're working flat out to expand testing capacity though.

Ward staff are being released to be trained up on testing, and clinical staff are being moved to replace those ward staff, apparently. I hope it'll be enough. It's good to hear about the low rate in the higher risk group, at least. Also  at the new title

Quite a lot of people I work with have had to self isolate because one of their managers came back from Italy recently and thought nothing of it. There's also a bunch of flags all over the canteen, might start defacing them with big red crosses to show when the countries are riddled.

Yellow is showing all the branches that have that novel mutation, then highlights them on the chart as such; almost all the Italian cases have that mutation in Spike (And also one in Orf1b, which afaik encodes the RNA polymerase and other viral genome replicating proteins)

This makes for pretty grim reading in light of our government's refusal to do *anything*. e: "Countries that are prepared will see a fatality rate of ~0.5% (South Korea) to 0.9% (rest of China). Countries that are overwhelmed will have a fatality rate between ~3%-5%". I wonder which category the UK falls into.... Lungboy fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Mar 11, 2020 |

A note on the UK numbers, talking with someone who is a doctor at one of the hospitals where there was a Covid-19 death, they are not testing everyone who comes in with symptoms, only people serious enough to have to go into individual rooms. Obviously this is only confirmed from one place but there is likely a fair bit of under-reporting going on, especially for mild (ie non life threatening cases) even in hospitals. This may change with the government edict on testing but was still the case yesterday.

And if you think that is likely, then you have a basically optimistic assessment of the state of the world.

Yeah, people don't get more right-wing as they get older, they get more right-wing as they get richer. And past being born around 1980 or so, they don't really correlate any more.
