Maybe God allowed the pandemic for man's sins. So he allowed Satan to go ahead.

God will see his faithful in these troubled times. Who call out to him.

God is all love he does not target anyone. Sin kills man.

That's why it's killing all the old religious types.

We have all been warned not to turn to the likes of WhatsApp/social media or updates, but, the WHO has just launched a WhatsApp Health Alert messaging update service!

Text "hi" to +41 798 931 892 to access.

And no this is NOT a scam, from yesterday's WHO Situational Report 60:-

https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200320-sitrep-60-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=8894045a_2

To increase access to reliable information, WHO has partnered with WhatsApp and Facebook to launch a WHO Health Alert messaging service. This service will provide the latest news and information on COVID-19, including details on symptoms and how people can protect themselves. The Health Alert service is now available in English and will be introduced in other languages next week. To access it, send the word "hi" to the following number on WhatsApp: +41 798 931 892.

Testing should NOT be restricted to those showing symptoms.

I'm listening to RTE One and this doctor is talking to Brendan.
Ireland are making the SAME MISTAKES that Italy and Spain have made.

Most virus shedding occurs before symptoms and during the 1st week of symptoms.

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/coronavirus-most-contagious-before-during-first-week-symptoms

Of course it would be great to have unlimited testing.

But every country in the world wants testing kits.

In a few weeks more people will be able to get tested & then the anti body test too.

I think the Dutch and the Brits have one thing in common though, they are extremely arrogant people. They'll probably continue on with their current policies.

The Netherlands are now considering a full lockdown "depending on people's behaviour"

Burning sinuses, headache, coughing and upset stomach.
I have all of these slowly come on. Bad today but only a cough is one of the symptoms of Covid19 so I shouldn't be worrying right?

I know you mean well but I won't be signing up to that. Updates with how many people have died in the last hour? No thanks. I'd be jumping off the nearest bridge within a day.

Anti body test will be a game changer

People showing symptoms are already waiting days for results. Throw in another 100k getting tests for the sake of it and be waiting months.

I don't think the purpose is to inform us of the death rate, rather guidance, alerts etc.

Ring your GP or after hours service. Don't get medical advice from non medical professionals.

Look out for one, some or all of the main symptoms:

a cough - this can be any kind of cough, not just dry
shortness of breath
breathing difficulties
fever (high temperature - 38 degrees Celsius or above) or chills

Other symptoms are fatigue, headaches, sore throat, aches and pains.

https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/symptoms-causes-treatment.html

Don't take medical advice from the internet.

Same page says:

If you develop symptoms you will need to self-isolate and phone your GP. Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. The GP will assess you over the phone. If they think you need to be tested for coronavirus, they will arrange a test.

False premise. Advice not to take medical advice from the internet is not in itself medical advice. No contradiction or paradox here. Must try harder.

There is that, seems to be alot of people in this country who even with just a cough are running to a doctor looking for a test. Its perfectly possible to still have a normal head cold.

We emptied out the A&Es because of covid but now the same people are filling up the GPs days

A Netherlands blood bank is going to screen a large number of samples for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 to answer the question of how many people have actually been infected.
They're planning to repeat this over the coming weeks to see how the rate changes.

Link: https://www.ad.nl/dossier-coronavirus/landelijke-bloedtest-om-te-zien-of-in-nederland-immuniteit-tegen-corona-ontstaat~ae8f611a/

This matters because it will help reveal whether or not the disease is more widespread than the current stats show, and consequently less likely to lead to severe or fatal outcomes.
Testing in many countries is skewed towards people in hospitals, and so may not be giving us the full picture of the disease.

YOU SHOULD RING YOUR GP.
They are the trained medical profession who can evaluate your symptoms, not 'someone on the internet'

Same as me. Like a bunged up feeling (felt more like a headcold) with a sickly stomach. I put it down to all the sugar I've been eating
