Coronavirus outbreak

[Mugshot]

This Morning had two Corona experts on today, Vanessa Feltz and Stanley Johnson. Johnson offered some words of advice to the nation.

Yes that"s what i had, no sniffles, no runny nose, no sneezes to speak of. And the odd breathing thing which i have never experienced before, though for me it was only under exertion.

I'm extraordinarily impressed that you have somehow managed to credit that quote to Pale Rider, I'm glad though that his husband seems to be better now.

Could Pale Rider be Mr Regulator?

I read now that the FCO is advising against all non-essential travel to anywhere else on the planet. Ooft!

One thing that is emerging from her network of GPs is that many are reporting that the Covid19 cough sounds very different from a ‘normal’ cough. It needs research but if this is true it may be a fast track way of diagnosis via phone or video link.

Please report back if you learn more on this.
Wouldn't the chinese have reported if it was so distinctive?
(Tho suppose authorities could be very wary of seeming to devolve symptom analysis to individuals)

I’ll tell her.

Like ACE inhibitor cough?

It wasn't coronavirus. The first case was detected in Chinese nationals at the end of January, the first 'internal' transmission at the end of February. If thousands of people had had it over Christmas they would have also been detected and current case numbers would have been much higher.

Mm
China is a big place and the government is hardly free with information. It's a matter of record isn't it that they initially tried to forcibly suppress news. I out no great faith in what the chinese government is telling us now.

Sorry, usual wonky tab issue, partly caused perhaps by certain blockers i have - maybe should start stamping my posts to indicate whether they come from tab or one of the more able chromebooks.

Was of course a reply to @Twinks
I hesitate to try to edit the quote in case i rope more of you in.

Now its really getting serious.
Just reading that Jehovahs Witnesses have cancelled all door to door witnessing, all public meetings and all those public literature carts you see.

While muttering "Told ya so!"

First UK case was recorded at the end of January, two Chinese nationals on holiday.

This gives a good outline, Wikipedia but it's all referenced: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_the_United_Kingdom

I'm not sure exactly what makes it distinctive - it seems that for it to be used in research and ultimately diagnosis, it would need a 'code'. This hasn't happened yet. It's a good point about what the Chinese experience is - there is all sort of collaboration going on and I suspect this will trickle down - although as ever, many clinicians/academics are looking for a high tech diagnosis and classifying a cough, simple as it may be, might be seen as a low priority. But watch this space, I'll feedback as and when I hear more.

Where's the 'unlike' button?

Where's the 'unlike' button?

I'm sorry.....I should do 50 Hail Marys for that. I hope I'm forgiven.
