Temperature back under 39 today, yay. Another few weeks of this and then I just need to worry about if this was Corona or not (I have all the symptoms but who knows without a test) cos you know, I'd like to go out when I'm better but it'd be just my luck if I went out and it was like "no girl, THIS is Corona"

The lack of testing (unless you’re somehow a celebrity) is pretty annoying. I’m isolating with symptoms, having been in contact with someone who absolutely has it (he’s basically a tick list of the symptoms) but because no-one he has been with (we’ve both been at large events with an international audience a couple of weeks ago) has been officially diagnosed, he can’t get tested, so I can’t get tested. It’s like a magical chain where somehow someone in it needs to have been tested. But they’re not testing anyone.

My friends had a cough for over 3 weeks. he was feverish in the first few weeks too. that seems unusually long but he started getting sick so long ago i feel like it's unlikely to be covid-19. He's a smoker so any sort of flu will gently caress him up.

Could you, good folks, elucidate the pea brains: one thing I can't get to grips with after having listened to Sir Patrick Vallance yesterday talking about if we get away with 20000 deaths in the UK, although horrible would be a good outcome. There's less than 8000 worldwide deaths at the moment. What's he basing that number on?

They have a better healthcare service (the NHS is pretty good but theirs is excellent), and we're both a more populous country and have higher population density. We're going to get significantly more infectees and therefore significantly more deaths even if the government plays this perfectly from now on, odds are.

Since the effects of the infection are delayed from infection -> illness -> death, you could isolate every person in the country right now and you'd still see the effects of the current situation in 1-4 weeks.

I dunno what the important stats are or whose tables matter most especially in a situation like this but the Euro Health Consumer Index 2018 puts us 16th and Italy 20th? But I also saw somewhere talking about Italy as second only to France in having the best healthcare so I dunno? The better healthcare I mean, not the population and density stuff obviously.

Our IT service desk has fallen over, we can't get through to anyone on phone anymore, which has completely crippled our ability to do certain things. We were told in private that it is, of course thanks to coronavirus.

Northern Italy is one of the wealthiest regions in Europe, and their medical system reflected that.

The less of it there is the less likely contact with it is likely to infect you. So yes, cleaning still helpful, and infectiousness still goes down over time even if it could theoretically transmit that way.

There's less than 8000 worldwide deaths at the moment. What's he basing that number on? I think there are a lot of assumptions in there on how much undetected virus spread has already happened but if you look at the curve of infections and deaths in china you'll see deaths peak about 1-2 weeks after the infections with a daily rate of deaths about twice what the rate was at peak infections. Italy has hopefully about peaked in terms of cases so take the current deaths/day in Italy times two for a few more days you get quite a scary number. It's completely unclear how that translates to the UK because we're not testing that much at the moment but a scenario with 20000 deaths is not complete disaster fiction unfortunately. There are a lot of cases in which it won't come to pass though so there's still hope IMO
