Coronavirus outbreak

sure is
Added to the sadness is it’s been reported that he had no under laying conditions.

The case has been referred to the coroner, nothing further has been said (at least not on BBC)

I keep hearing about viral load, so if someone is exposed to a large dose the symptoms are worse.

Also with these younger cases I would like to know, did they smoke or vap, with kids were they passive smoking as I think it’s a relevant piece of information.

With vaping is it creating better conditions in the lungs for infection? You are filling your lungs with excess moisture after all which can be a breeding ground for such things.

The whole vaping thing is wide open at the moment more evidence is needed before a link can be made. It’s very much an active area of debate.

true, I just always thought it seemed nuts adding smoke to your lungs sure that’s a no brainer, but to me adding extra moisture seems risky as well.
Like you said it needs further research.

They won’t want to second guess the Coroner so will have retracted that part!

Figures were put up outside my rest room yesterday so I'll assume that they are public. From what I remember....

Tested - 680
Positive - 70
In hospital - 27
In ICU - 3
Deaths - 5

27 Patients would fill 65%-75% of the 3 wards that were set aside and lent themselves to this situation, ones where there were a good number of individual rooms making isolation simple. 2 more wards have been cleared but these are regular open ones with maybe only 2 - 4 individual rooms per ward.

No testing (that I have noticed) for over a week in the 3 pods installed for this purpose.

On top of all the stress, worry and hard work the NHS staff are enduring, they have been threatened with a free Rick Astley concert.

I went to bed last night hoping I'd wake up and find out this was all an elaborate joke.

Sadly not.

I have a very slight cough and shortness of breath, I'm in two minds whether to go for a test. I really think it's nothing. One year old had a cough and fever, wife has a cold, four year old unscathed. I think we'd all be down with it by now if it was Covid-19.

Anyway, I'm due back at work after Easter so I'll see what's going on then. I see that some groups are now suggesting PPE for all NHS staff.

All UK hospital staff and patients should wear masks, says doctors group

Nasty I Hope generally he is applauded for his gesture.

Do you have a fever? If so, please quarantine/isolate yourself rather than risk spreading what could be c19.

Don't worry, we've all been in isolation since the baby developed his cough.

SWMBO's now having to wear a mask and PPE kit alongside everyone patient-facing in her unit.

Entire report of the death removed or just aspects of the story?
I saw it on the beeb web early today.

Just that he had no known underlying conditions - on the Beeb, they reported the family saying he was healthy, but the post mortem will determine if there was something unknown
