Nice to see that Covid-19 is on the decrease in Tarn[emoji30]

Not.....

 

7 confirmed cases in the past day in a town of around a quarter of a million people is very low. We are beating the virus by social distancing.

 

Might be another to add to that: I'm being tested shortly not been well at all.

 

Or nearly 200 in the last fortnight?

I thought I’d be expecting to see the graph going downwards myself personally seen as we are all in parks, dancing in street and bumping into each other in Tesco. The social distance is 2cm now isn’t it when in a supermarket? Just asking like

 

The urban population is around 70,000 ish isn't it? The Borough around 270,000 which includes rural locations like Dunford Bridge so very spread out.

 

Boris Johnson has announced the UK is “past the peak” of the coronavirus outbreak and was on the "downward slope”.

That graph must be the wrong way round!

 

Fingers crossed for you HR1.

 

Past the peak in London, which seems to be what they care about. They show graphs every day where the north seems to be still plateauing at a fairly high number of people in hospital, and they just gloss over it

 

Best wishes mate to the all clear .

 

Thanks.. Had a pretty horrific 48 hours and still unwell but have improved a little today.

 

Looks like a graph that will just continue to add new cases daily but not tell you how many have recovered.

 

Cheers mate

 

Yes best wishes Havana

 

Your right DB but we are averaging out at a 2% increase day by day. If we have 7 people a day it is still spreading. That’s still 35 people a week or 140 a month

 

Thanks mate

 

My mates Mum and Dad have had it confirmed a couple of weeks ago. His Dad was in hospital for a heart attack and returned home after his care to find his entire ward bar 2 people had contracted it, so he was weak as hell going in to getting the virus.

Anyway, he's through the worst of it now and his temp is back from 41 degrees down to 37. It's been a roller coaster for them both.

Hopefully you test negative mate and you'll feel well again soon.

 

WARNING: Only a fraction of possible cases are being tested. The number of true cases is likely to be many, many times higher. Do not use this information to make decisions about risk of infection!

The above warning is on the same website the data comes from, stating only 7 people are confirmed cases may give people the impression the virus is beaten and encourage behaviours which increase the risk of infection

 

All the best to you havana, I sincerely hope you'll be ok

 

Wishing you all the best, mate. Hopefully, it won't prove to be too serious. As much as the BBS needs you, your family & society in general need you far more.

 

Yes there has been a high incidence of positive cases on one of our wards over the course of last week, the majority being staff. On the mend hopefully. Be interesting to see if it is indeed covid as opposed to any other viral infection. I've experienced symptons I never have before though and I've had influenza a couple of times in the past.
