No worries, I'm all in favour of a bit of levity.
But a union between me and Regulator would not be one made in heaven.

On a positive note, you can't be dragged to Church on Sunday (Cof E) 
Well being serious, it's a great one, as you can have recordings of coughs, do sound analysis of coughs and even get techs on coughs. Or even if just playing back for training. You could even get computer diagnostics to aid it. Or you can not do all of that stuff and the doctors will still do a good job of picking it up, safer, send to the 111 pods at ends of motorways etc.
The ACE inhibitor cough just curious as that has a very 'distinctive' cough which I struggle to describe. It also tallies with ACE2 stuff, which is any of that stuff is true is a bit scary, but also good as possible treatments there.
I was also curious as the last few days when the advise said about particular coughs I wondered internal discussions of doctors.

Hello decadence
I'm afraid I'm not a clinician and so can't add many more details than the description given by the NHS which describes it as a continuous cough – (this means you've started coughing repeatedly).
My understanding is that if you are a GP (or chest physician) you are able to distinguish between different sorts of coughs - and this helps with the diagnosis. This is built up through the years of experience seeing patients. My wife is an academic GP but no longer sees patients (she stopped after a serious illness left her with a compromised immune system), however she still talks to many of her clinical colleagues and this thing about the cough is just anecdotal at the moment. But I'm sure we'll hear more.
For me that is an occasional deep down dry tickle-cough, The corona virus is described as 'continuous'

Hello decadence
I will see what I can find out - all very helpful suggestions. Who says CC doesn't operate on a higher intellectual plane?

I did, probably several times.
There's no doubt the corona threads have raised us a little way out of the intellectual gutter.
We're not quite reaching for the stars, but I wouldn't want us to be.

I was meaning the first UK case, have now edited to clarify that.
What I meant was that ACE inhibitor cough to me is more occasional but 'continuous' or as people describe it 'persistent', but that coronavirus sounds like the same thing dialed up in earlier stages (it would be in some ways unfortunately with what we know's going on underneath). I know some people get some other symptoms also with ACE inhibitor cough.
The ibuprofen advice the french gave seems to be going around the NHS now.
If any slower insights derived over months make a difference great, as small things could make a sizeable difference just due to the vast numbers.
Dunno if anyone finds the vid from speed pharmacology interesting.
Friday - Wear a mask, bin it as you leave casualty, put on a fresh one on your return.
Saturday - Wear a mask, take it off & put it in your pocket as you leave casualty. Put it on again as you re-enter.
Sunday - Here's your mask, that's your lot.
Monday - Ditto.
Tuesday - Oh, we are not bothering now.
