Apparently we are only testing people who are already in hospital with respiratory problems. All others who suspect they might have it are told to self isolate.


If that's true there could be 10 of thousands of cases we don't know about.

Withholding the information on the number of deaths is scandalous as well.

Department of health and social care 6 hours ago

The most common symptoms of #coronavirus are: New continuous cough OR High temperature (37.8 degrees or higher) If you have these symptoms, it’s important that you stay at home for 7 days to help protect your friends and neighbours.

Boris has just announced that anyone living with anyone coughing should stay at home for 14 days.

That escalated quickly.  Do they know how frequently these ankle biters are coughing?  Can't even go to the pub.

The Government estimated 5-10000 last week and more by now

They are doubling every 2 or 3 days, though the Dom Cummings will have us believe it is every 5 or 6 days.  I suppose if you spend your working hours with Tory ministers you may start to belive everybody is an imbicile who can't use a spreadsheet.   I suppose we can pretend it is every 5 or 6 days if we don't test.

What does "Self isolate" actually mean for your average family?

Do you keep your teenagers off work or your kids off school?

How do you get provisions?

Gill's Dad is quite elderly, so he tried to order his groceries from Ocado on Sunday. The first delivery "slot" they could offer him was April 3rd.

My mum is quite lucky in that there's quite a few of us who can visit to deliver food and essentials. I'll leave it to her to decide if she would rather take her chances with us visiting or prefer us not to come in and be in close proximity for any extended time.

Those people that don't have a number of friends and family close by are going to need support from somewhere I would have thought. Perhaps this is the time where I can find my active charitable vocation - happy to go deliver stuff in the evenings to people without the trial of chatting and trying to be any kind of emotional support.

"...They are doubling every 2 or 3 days..." source? What spreadsheet?

Wherever he is, he is probably telling people that it is no different to the millennium bug.
