Those who have been tested are mostly those who have been in hospital so they would take longer to recover than most with mild symptoms

May this fine man RIP. Hero.
I know you meant well, and I mean as well too. I'm just doing exactly as Government advised.
My sister works at UCL hospital and is tending to ventilated patients right now. I asked her advice hours before my flight, and she told me as per Ministry of Health, my requirement was work from home and isolation/distancing as other's UNTIL I noticed any symptoms, and then strict quarantine. I've read the website after I landed.

So sad. Seeigng people putting their life on the line to help others in this way is astonishing, and agonising.
Quite. His four kids all medical professionals as well.
This country would've been utterly screwed long ago without the contribution of British South Asians to the NHS.
The author concludes "The failure of vitamin C supplementation to reduce the incidence of colds in the general population indicates that routine vitamin C supplementation is not justified, yet vitamin C may be useful for people exposed to brief periods of severe physical exercise."
So when you say it does have some effect particularly for people carrying out intense exercise might it not be more accurate to say only for people carrying out intense exercise?
Look at the data, it's really not that effective.
1019 deaths in the UK
The threshold for 'recovered' is that their tests return as negative. It doesn't take into account that some patients might feel absolutely fine despite still being positive.
And as you say, this figure only includes those who have previously been tested. Since we've only been testing serious cases, these patients will necessarily have been the ones with high viral loads. So it makes sense that it's taking a long time for the virus to clear their systems.
If you think about all the people who have never been tested because they had any serious symptoms to begin with, the real number of 'recovered' will probably be in the tens of thousands.
It's pretty much full lockdown so anyone coming back from abroad doesn't have to do anything different from regular folk now.I know you meant well, and I mean as well too. I'm just doing exactly as Government advised.

yeah total, just said it on sky newsTotal rather than new, I hope.
Awful, either way
Does anyone follow Dr John Campbell on youtube?
260 new deaths. Eggs are totally smashed.
34% up from yesterday, but yes not looking good but expected really.
It's down to 12% now after today's data. Hoping recovery rates increase or it is not looking good at all.
43% up on yesterday's daily figure of 181.
What's Tommy Robinson done?
Horrible news today with deaths rising to over 1k total.
May everybody rest in peace.
May everybody rest in peace.
Over 9000 dead in Italy and 5000 in Spain
That's correct, but you was quoting the chap who is talking about total cases.
With the high blood pressure thing is it due to the medication or the condition? Seems to be very uncertain...pretty sure I've
Hang on I think we're talking at crossed purposes here. I'm just trying to highlight that based on their mass testing they have found more than 50% of cases are asymptomatic. So 20% is very unlikely.
The interesting stats i can see today is around the deaths per million of population, the UK is one of the lower figures.The next few days will be critical.
Just looking at some stats and it appears that Belgium had their first case a few days after the UK, they locked down really really early in terms of deaths but still have twice the deaths per capita as the UK, or am I missing something here?
I see, then I guess the next best thing is easy testing? The question is then that how far are we from developing a cheap affordable test that can be done with or without laboratory conditions. There's a company based in pune that claims to be capable of manufacturing screening kits for 1000 rs, thats like 10 pounds. Any news of cheaper kits?
Feels like the UK is at the top of the rollercoaster now. This is going to be a very tough week for lots of people I fear.
Well if you want to get properly pedantic, was is actually the correct use of the term. I was talking about a statement of fact, rather than a subjunctive mood. However this thread isn't the place for educating.
Do you need the government to tell you to wipe your bum too?I know you meant well, and I mean as well too. I'm just doing exactly as Government advised.

would common sense not tell you that it’s not a good idea to go straight into mingling with other people after a 14 hour flight back from Asia?
yes the advice is not down in writing but they are appealing to people to stay home unless absolutely necessary
He’s breathing
Erm.
New cases here in the UK seem to be going up rapidly over the last few days but nobody seems to mention it, up by around about 2000 today.
While it is not that difficult to compare the number of the last days for a country and see if there is still more or less exp. growth, I think this visualization is by far the best I have seen so far.
That could be attributed to the fact that more have been admitted and tested, the recovery rates will be the data point to read over the coming days in line with that case number.
Testing more.
The Caribbean too.
