www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53280238 I think this counts - get past the headline! I found it reassuring.

I think it was BBC yesterday. They did a peice on the situation in USA. They said the doctor's were using a combination of drugs anticoagulants, steroids etc and they were having great success. I think they said it was successful in 96% of patients.

Study in sweden found 30% of a sample had Tcells resistant to Covid. Meaning there was 30% natural immunity or 30% had had covid but fought off with TCells. If true, would either mean many are not suseptible or if they are, lots more people have had it than antibody tests show and the IFR is lower

I went out today and quite enjoyed people keeping 1 metre apart 😂

I saw a similar price on Sky News, it was very reassuring.

Great thread- just what we need!

That's a reassuring article thank you.

That vaccine tracker article is really interesting and reassuring.

Good results on the sniffer-dog Coronavirus tests! 🐶

Oo the vaccine trial tracker is really interesting, thank you!

if you're into the stats the daily average deaths in the UK (all settings) has just finally fallen below 100 for the first time. Under 40 for hospitals.

Those dogs! How marvellous - would almost be worth organising a flight!

@tobee that's very interesting. I keep hearing about anticoagulants.

www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/

Number of cases in the UK continue to drop from week to week, around 300 today from around 600...was around a thousand a few weeks ago.

great news

The death rate in America does seem to be going down, even though cases are going up.

The vaccines are looking promising. That's definitely positive :)

The ICU in Bergamo, Italy is now Covid free!
