If a person is on medication to keep their blood pressure under control does this lower their risk?

I hope so!!

Wow that's a huge rise if that's the case.

Dreadful

How far is the UK estimated to be from the likely peak? Same as us or earlier?

But the nursing homes didnt lift the visiting restrictions so unfortunately staff must have brought in in.

Yes but the people doing the official recommendations didn't see it fit to support the measures the nursing homes group told their members to make, I don't know if it covered all or some nursing homes.
But if the nursing homes group had waited for official recommendations it would be far worse.

The guy is trying desperately to stay relevant. I guess the fact there will be no web summit this year means he's time on his hands.

It's not getting worse but it's not getting better either. Temperature constantly around 37 to 37.4 so nothing big but still enough to make me feel unwell. Also headache, lung pain occasionally. Chest tightness and feeling of not being able to breath properly is slowly getting better. I don't know what this is but it is annoying.

a lot of stuff floating around, and it's pretty much impossible to tell what you've got so you just have to live with it. I had cough/sore throat but it could have been any number of 'normal' things so no point in obsessing over it (but I did a bit when I had it!).

Your temperature looks normal, unless I've got my figures wrong.

I cant believe the scale of death across Europe today, 1500 already before France or Italy even announce, Spain and Germany have only updated once also

I'm fed up trying to prepare my food in an aseptic manner. Opening fridge, wash hands, open press, wash hands, get plate and cutlery, wash hands.

It's fake news.
People who already wrecked their health by eating McDonalds and smoking shouldn't be counted.

Pointless.

You're forgetting to wash your hands after washing your hands.

22 clusters in nursing homes according to

https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0330/1127300-coronavirus-analysis-ireland-cases/

can anyone advise why the high number in nursing homes relative to the population. there are about 460 nursing homes in ireland.

is it possible that 5% of the population generally have got it or had it but most people just never noticed or felt like they had a mild cold???

Unless you have a fumehood or bunsen burner, you can’t keep things aseptic. If you thoroughly clean your hands entering the house, normal house cleanliness should be just fine.

I would add to that, wipe down your shopping before putting it away and then wash your hands one final time, then life as normal.

Yeh it would seem like thats the case, probably around 5% of the population does already have it, tests on random hospital patients in Belgium showed a figure around that size. But dormitory shared living spaces will always be breeding grounds, look at prisons as another example, so many breakouts there, so that probably further exaggerates it

Stats based on random testing of hospital patients can't be extrapolated to the general population.

Thanks Wakka, that makes sense, i appreciate that input.

Another reduction in deaths and cases in Lombardy, looks like it really is flattening.

Didn't someone say here the other day they knew one of the people who had died and that they were a nurse

Why are you doing all that? Once in your home should be no need for that sort of thing. Once home I only wash hands as normal (I.e. after toilet, preparing raw meat or if actually dirty).
