Coronavirus outbreak

[Ming the Merciless]

So now anyone over 5 with signs can have a test. Testing set up can't even get the basics right without them.
It's just numbers game, the more they test it won't magically fix the problems.

This isn’t the anti body test is it?

No don't be silly that's gone all quiet again.

Funny that as it only was formerly added today at the FM briefing.
Loss of tease and smell has been around some time but as with so much about the virus knowing what's useful and not can only be done over time.
I have found a FB page dated 21st March giving loss of taste and smell as one of the symptoms. This is not the one I was looking for so there was obviously more than one mention of this symptom around that time.

Got in my usual fancle with thus ipad but I have posted further back about finding the info re taste and smell dated 21/03/20.

Regarding sense of smell, my son has never had one. He is wondering if he gets Coronavirus if he might gain a sense of smell for the first time!

I can't be sure of the date that I became aware of it but it would have been just before that date. I remember questioning my daughter about it because it was a symptom of the virus + dry cough that I caught from her at the end of February. The grandkids only had what seemed like the usual coughs and sniffles that go around the playground.

Nothing new under the sun:

It's a very interesting read, particuarly what happened when they opened up too early.

Heard today that a local care home has lost 6 residents and currently has 18 cases.

Some specialist group home only have around that number of residents to start with some have lost 1/2 of them already

Call to add cycle numbers to daily transport stats at the briefing.
Always found it odd they missed it off they say it's important then let's call it out. That way it makes its important

And this has to be one of the oddest paragraph I've ever seen in a paper

''The group were accepting of the warning and separated, before the vast majority departed the seafront.'' But I've never been to Hunstanton so I don't know what passes for normal there.

It's the weirdest place I've ever been. And I grew up in Surrey.
