    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    from what I understand, people can get coronavirus without respiratory symptoms? But those with respiratory symptoms need to be monitored in hospital definitely. For some people, it can be similar to a cold or mild flu. That doesn’t mean you have the coronavirus of course, just I think people...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    I read in an article that experts say it most likely is the case that it’s been spreading in Italy for many weeks before these cases were detected recently - possibly even since mid January. So it’s been under the radar and possibly more cases?. I think some experts think it may be the case in...

    Research news from Bhupesh Prusty

    From one of his other tweets, it looks like one of his papers will be published in 2-3 weeks (he’s hoping so). I don’t know if that is the paper related to what he’s talking about now, or something else.

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    I think this is a really good article about how people with pre existing conditions (including asthma; and immune conditions), or looking after someone who is very ill, are hugely anxious about the Coronavirus. I thought I’d share as maybe it would help some people feel less alone. I’ve...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    There’s no problems at the moment. But I’m just aware that if there are shortages - I could become very ill if I end up missing a few days of meds. I would hope if there’s a chance of that happening though, the NHS / Govt would do something!

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Yes, because whenever I get a virus, I become extremely unwell sometimes for months on end, sometimes over a year - and I have permanently worsened (ie never recovered) after some. And I have asthma and tendency to pneumonia so I’m very scared. A few days ago I had a slight fever and was having...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Agree, it’s so easily spread. It seems to me that for the UK, economics seems to be important than human lives. Looking at the morning news, it says the UK has now issued travel advice that anyone returning from those hit areas in Italy has to self isolate for 14 days. This is all the official...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    I am genuinely worried that the UK govt are not taking it seriously in any way. I have not seen any notices in newspapers nor on TV about importance of prevention or the fact people should stay at home and call 111 instead of just going to their A&E or doctors surgeries. There’s no information...

    Oh.. actually the logarithmic graph does Tell a different tale. Is this kind of what you were talking about? I really hope you’re right @Jonathan Edwards, that it can be stopped in it’s tracks. but I’m still worried about significant underreporting.

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    @Jonathan Edwards why do you say China has been able to slow down spread considerably? It is still increasing quite a lot day by day (as per official figures). But some others like from Imperial College (I think?) have said China is only picking up 1 in 19 cases, so the total number of cases...
