This video from lovely Dr John Campbell, is very informative and in part reassuring he has suggested a lower CFR of 1% based on the figures he is constantly analysing

Pope site is being widely pointed out on twitter as a fake website.

I really hope it remains a fake report. If he were to get it, I don't think it would be a good outcome.

@SansaSnark, I think it might be the South Korean approach to testing which means their serious cases look small compared to overall figures. Basically they mass tested thousands of cult members so have picked up a lot is asymptomatic cases. Their information sharing via app probably means more people realise when they’re at risk and get tested with mild symptoms.

Symptoms are a fever and tiredness. Only 5% have had the sniffles

Sniffles? 5% of people end up in hospital on oxygen...do you think they just have the sniffles?

Actual quote from article above:

The woman first tested positive in late January and was discharged from the hospital on Feb. 1, leading some experts to speculate that it was biphasic, like anthrax.

Note the word 'speculate'. Its a pretty important one.

Yes there is a theory. But that's what it is. A theory.

How is marking inflammatory language? What else do you call it? Terminal?

@Snowdropdelight I did for a bit but have been ridiculed for thinking it’s anything to worry about

A school in Woodley, Reading has confirmed a member of staff has tested positive. So that will be the Berkshire case confirmed by PHE earlier.

Oh dear, so potentially a lot of kids have been put at risk (unknowingly).

@NemophilistRebel

If he does have it, all the touching and kissing that goes on during his audiences poses a huge public risk.

@WaterSheep Do you mean we'll have 30 cases in Ireland by tomorrow? If so can you give more info?

It's certainly not scientific language. It's the kind of wording I'd use when I was going full purple prose while writing Star Trek fanfiction.

15 years later, Picard was still marked by the events of that last visit to Desu-19 [...]

They've not said if the member of staff was at school/how long they were there for but have said the school will be shut for "some days" for a deep clean

I will be keeping myself and my son indoors for the forseeable future but my DH has to go to work in London most days, he can only sporadically work from home.

I am thinking of sending him to stay with his parents as he may bring the virus home

I thought the Berkshire case was Newbury?

Snowdrop my colleagues thought I was insane back in mid January, however once we received notification from the top that all corporate travel to China was cancelled with immediate effect beginning of February they started to take it seriously.

It’s very Brexit. The naysayers will disbelieve until they see the hazmat suits in A&E with their own eyes. It’s best not to waste your energy on them, it’s futile.

Do you mean we'll have 30 cases in Ireland by tomorrow?

No, I expect the UK figure to be around 30 by the end of this week, and nearing 100 by the end of the following week.

Water what model are you going off?

I thought the Berkshire case was Newbury?

Don't know, but Newbury isn't that far, they could live in there and work in Reading.

But the school have confirmed it.

Wehttam you have absolutely no proof that biphasic means marking or terminal at all even if there was proof it was biphasic

You seem to reveal in this whole thing

Just to confirm what others have said; it is possible for someone to be described as a Gloucestershire (and specifically Cotswolds) case, whilst attending Burford school in West Oxon - Gloucestershire villages are just across the county border a few miles away.

(Oh do fuck off matthew.)

I have been lurking on these threads for a while now and getting increasingly frustrated with people not understanding the difference between Covid-19 and the flu or the common cold.

I think maybe it is time to call it what it is: Covid-19 is 'viral pneumonia'.

Perhaps it would help people understand the symptoms to look for and the seriousness of the illness itself.

And given that the Pope is in his 80s & missing a piece of lung, I don't hold out much hope for him if this is true

Newbury isn't that far, they could live in there and work in Reading.

This too is eminently possible.
