How come Idris Elba looks entirely fine with corona? Or have I misunderstood something?

[OhioOhioOhio]

I thought he'd be bed ridden?

"Except my post contained nothing of the sort to promote public worry, we cannot question things in face of it apparently, I don't even question if he had any symptoms did I?

You read way more into my post than I actually said. I think that says more about you.

You are promoting more public worry with hysterical posts like yours."

You said celebrities were lying about having CV to keep themselves in the news. Pretty awful.

I'd happily rub vicks on his chest!

Celebs don't just promote fitness products and lipsticks you know. They are also influencers involved in social engineering. Many of them have very shady connections. Just try to be aware of how you are being manipulated. That is all.

Yes some people get only very mild symptoms but also research has indicated early treatment is key. Some countries with lower death rates are testing widely and testing asap. There's also several drugs that have shown promise in treating it. Whether they work for everyone I don't know. I also don't know whether the UK government has enough of these in stock for everyone who might need them but I'm confident the rich and famous will have access.

So..... we should just let the elderly and vulnerable die then?

Dear god, where the hell did you get that type of idea from literally, one sentence that made zero reference to elderly or vulnerable? I read the OP and answered the question, that's all

Many people are asymptomatic- Chris Witty said this afternoon that the majority of people will have mild or moderate symptoms and won't need to phone NHS - just take paracetamol.

How come actors, footballers etc get tested so quickly? I can only assume private tests

yes I think so.

they were reporting it on the BBC news this evening- he said he'd had no symptoms and had been self-isolating since end of last week, when he found out he'd been in contact with somebody who tested positive.

NHS staff on the frontline are not getting tested, even if they've come into contact with patients who have tested and they are still symptomatic i.e. Elba's situation

erm no not everyones laid up with it not everyone will feel anything

The rich and famous have everything, including well-stocked private islands and underground bunkers to go to. That's after they've socially engineered us all to give up everything in the name of the coronavirus. When the rioting starts because everyone has lost their jobs, that's when things will really start to get interesting. The effects of how we react to the virus will be much, much worse than the actual virus. I have a growing sense that we are all being played.

Celebs don't just promote fitness products and lipsticks you know. They are also influencers involved in social engineering. Many of them have very shady connections. Just try to be aware of how you are being manipulated.

Kim K or someone similar will try making money out of this I guarantee it.

I don't get why people are so aghast at celebs using situations for personal gain, it happens all the time.

He'd be bed ridden if I was with him

Did you watch the press conference? Many people will be asymptomatic .

I think testing is almost a waste of time. You could test negative one day and then go to the shop the next day and pick it up.

World Health Organisation think differently. I would have thought the more data the better. South Korea doing more testing than many other countries along with other measures and currently they seem to be slowing the spread better.

Because the vast majority of people are not bedridden or die from it
^statement of fact

So..... we should just let the elderly and vulnerable die then?
^unconnected, hyperbolic response

Wtf?

Apparently men are the biggest group presenting as asymptomatic.

That's weird, men usually get exaggerated symptoms with most illnesses.

He always looks fine ... very fine indeed !!!

I almost definitely have it. I have all the symptoms and work beside someone who has been tested positive. I'm not completely well obviously but don't look ill either. Tight dry cough, temperature and tired but not so ill that I technically couldn't be going about my daily business for parts of the day. I'm not though, I'm isolated in my house to protect others.

Men are more likely to die from it than women. Not sure about mildness of symptoms though, maybe there's a weird segmentation where healthy are mild, but unhealthy die more?

@daisychain01 no ND was rather ill but her DM, who tested positive at 84, felt relatively fine.

Idris Elba....mmm....(starts daydreaming)....hang on, what was the question again??!

Its Idris Elba. He always looks fine

@Confuddledtown 😏😏 yes he does.
