The recovery rate will probably go up, as on the whole a younger cohort is infected.

The recovery rate is way over 92%. Way more than 25,000 have been infected.

Florida just reported another record 9585 cases.

God, that's so scary.

The flu virus does that also. Here’s a detailed interesting documentary how a virus attacks the body

I have a question. Let's say a family member working in England wants to come home for a visit. Would it be possible for the 14 day quarantine to be shortened if they go for a test immediately, and then another a few days later. If both were clear would that mean they could visit friends and family?

Hmmm I wonder where the new cases are?

Number still not too bad but its larger than I'd like

CMO mentions there has been cases with a large number of close contacts in recent days.


"High levels of compliance to public health advice to date has enabled further reopening of economic and social life.

"However, of the 23 cases reported today, 10 cases (43%) are in younger adults aged under 35 years. A further 8 cases (35%) are in those aged between 35-54.

"This is now a real concern and a worrying trend at a time when many people are reconnecting with friends and loved ones and may be gathering in larger groups.

"In recent days, for example, some cases have had large numbers of close contacts that have required testing and self-isolation for 14 days.

"COVID-19 is an infection that affects all ages and it is incumbent on all of us to take our individual responsibility seriously.

"I cannot emphasise enough how important it is to remain informed, keep a 2 metre distance from others and follow the public health advice on hand washing, cough and sneeze hygiene, and wearing face coverings."

They did a lot tests yesterday, nearly 4000 (see stats on the Covid dashboard) so it looks like they are doing the nursing home retests. It was bound to pick up some more cases, but the % positive is still very low.

You are correct, nursing homes were being retested this week. However, 18 of today's cases are under 54.

What he doesn’t want us to know is that 92% of those under 35 year olds will make a full and complete recovery with nothing only paracetamol

As the CMO suggested more close contacts will also account for this one would suspect. Which is bound to happen.

But we're heading into phase 3 with relatively low case numbers, hosptial numbers all very low and reducing. Its a very good position to be in

And the fact is we seem to pick up a large large amount of contacts compared to other countries. I think it's actually really really good that people are being honest about their contacts.

Reminder that yesterday nearly 4000 tests were conduct - it was 2000 the day before. Testing is gone up big big time this week.

Why the sudden increase? Increased testing of healthcare workers?

Nursing homes and it seems that everyone who goes to a doctor is being offered a test now.
