A certain % contract the illness and never show symptoms. Usual onset of symptoms is between 2-14 days with an average of around 5.2. I think there have been some outliers that have taken longer but they seem to be very rare.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
On average around 5 days but the problem is that a lot of people who are infected don't even show any symptons at all so there's no way to know without testing.
13.3k tested in India so far (not including today).
Anywhere I can check this up against figures from other countries? Looks quite low.
Managed to find some pasta and toilet paper in a shop near me, not that I needed any so I left it.
Lucky too, as it turns out they were charging £5 for a pack of four and the owner was arguing with a customer about it. He seemed genuine saying most smaller suppliers have marked everything up ridiculous prices and that he has been not putting the price up himself, but now has to or simply not stock it. I'm not sure how true that is, but I wouldn't doubt it for a second there's many pocketing off of this.

Yeah but my point is that the old are the ones we’re trying to protect but they are out going to pubs, churches, bowls etc
Some is, you're right. But I would say 95% isn't in the UK at least
This is the kind of brutality I can get behind
So after the president national press conference yesterday.
Some old fuddy duddy decided to take the bins out after 8pm.

Base Rate down to 0.1 %.
We certainly do live in interesting and unique times.

So it’s been a few weeks since this man came back, he’s likely to be one of the % that doesn’t show or have any symptoms. But he would have infected his wife when he got back but it’s been a couple of weeks and until she shows symptoms? (I don’t know if she even has)
It’s so strange and scary at the same time.
Anyone know the percentage of people who catches this without ever knowing or showing symptoms ? How can you have a virus come and go without even knowing about it!?
This recent Forbes article mentions 17.9% show no symptons, don't know how accurate that is or if the sample size is big enough but it's definitely a significant part, I'd say.
I'm by no means an expert so can't answer your second question with any certainty but I'd guess that the body of young people produces antibodies quickly enough so that you don't get sick / show symptons.

One big family, 3 died and another 3 in critical condition. No underlying conditions. What am I missing here?

Haha, holy shit, you gotta respect the speed of the police there but..
Sounds like better numbers for us (the UK) today?
63 new cases and only 4 deaths. That can't be right?

Thanks for the link. That’s a high percentage!
I dont think England has announced today yet, that might just be Wales and Scotland so far, it gets updated throughout the day as more regions announce new figures
That would make sense
No-one really knows just how many people don't show symptoms. There are a couple of studies that have come up with estimates (basically best guesses at this point). One says about 17%, but is based on an average age of 60 and incomplete data, another estimates just over 30%. The 30% one has a giant confidence interval (anything from 7 - 50%).
It's a northern (English) thing - we used to have breakfast, dinner and tea. Not breakfast, lunch, dinner
No 'used to' about it. Dinner ladies still exist and Dinner is still firmly in the middle of the day
The worst thing about that is that all those people will survive this.
To some it's just like a normal flu. Bit of fever and a cough. Others get it like pneumonia. Testing is the only way to find out. Korea was testing about 16,000 per day. Most people die due to lack of facilities. The Japanese flu vaccine is working on most people unless they are the extreme cases. HIV vaccine is also working but none of these are approved by the western countries. The USA has no equipment and other stuff required too. The Chinese seem to be the only country where they can supply these to the other countries. They have sent a lot to Europe and other Asian countries.
The USA need them too but Trump has a sanction against China so the US suppliers can't import them to USA.
Bojo doesn't know if he is sitting on his arse or standing up.

Only 20 critical too, doesn't seem right.
This. It makes a ton of sense to me that the US and the UK would be among the last countries to put welfare over continuing production and profit.
It's thought that the younger you are the less likely you are to show symptoms too. My guess is that the asymptomatic are at the high end of the margin of error.
I'm a one person household, so absolutely, yes.
A family of four with multiple bathrooms might use a lot more.
Unless we tested around 200 people, those numbers are wrong. Expect close to 600-800.
can't order anything online, tesco, ocado, amazon fresh are all fully booked. my local tesco and sainsburys full of empty shelves now. i've ordered hello fresh for next week, might just stick to that for the time being (and hope they can maintain demand).
NHS just announced 29 more deaths today in England today.That would make sense
Are supermarkets holding back stock? I don’t understand if they haven’t been yet - they don’t keep things off the shelves and reserve them for those most in need. It’s shite and will be a slow process but people are assholes which has been shown with the empty shelves.
Look you're obviously a believer, there's probably not much point me arguing with you but I'll make one last point. The WHO, South Korea, China, Italy etc etc had a lot of information about death rates, intensive care rates, R0 etc for this virus. All of it naturally has levels of uncertainty associated, but there was absolutely no need to make assumptions based on viral pneumonia unless they were just bluffing their way through on a wing and a prayer. They should have been ready given the advance warning they had and they still don't seem to know what they want to do about it other than react piecemeal as they get stick from different quarters. Anyway, I'm out now, feck Boris.
Place has gone mad over toilet rolls be careful very strong language..

Horribly, and tragically for the family concerned, it's often these kind of cases that let the researchers get new insight into what influences the disease - whether that turns out to be genetic or otherwise. Sometimes the clues they find in the tragedies give them other clues in terms of treatment or vaccine development.
Obesity.
Death toll up to 137.
Are all stoners complete feckhead conspiracy theorists? Got a couple of 'mates' who smoke a lot and both of them think this is a conspiracy.

I'd be very sceptical about China. South Korea have done great, and so have Singapore, but both of these countries benefited massively from the infrastructure they developed and the learning they could take from the SARS outbreak. This lecture is very informative. Our society could not have possibly responded the way they did.
A further three GP postponed, up to and including Monaco.
Always a silver lining in any situation it seems.
I'm not saying there are scummy people out there but there is plenty on Amazon if you have wads of cash, seems people went in and picked up a 'little' bit more than they needed.I hope so mate. we are running low on nappies and baby formula
