None of what you say makes the linked story untrue does it. A story most likely found by someome Googling for Coronovirus news, rather than someone trying to find out about Love Island. Would it be completely rude to ignore you and speak to someone else ? Am sure is fascinating and it's nothing personal . Thanks ever so much 🤗 You could perhaps answer his question rather than district to talk about Love Island? |

Is this the same Denise Coates that has guaranteed her workforce five months full pay? I really don't understand this constant kicking of Denise Coates, particularly by local people. Jane Dorning, aren't you kidding? £90M? For that amount of money you could reconstruct and restore the Old Hall at Trentham Gardens. Lovely view of the lake thrown in as well. |

I'm merely pointing out that you've come on here mocking someone who has genuine concerns about the virus, just because they posted a link, to a widely reported true story, from a certain newspaper. That appears to be the action of someone with "a certain kind of intellect". |

You would hope Amazon limit them per person as do Boots who are both due to sell them soon OK Right. Good. Will Amazon be doing this free as a public spirited service? And will they be paying the full levels of Uk tax expected in future, as we try to rebuild the economy after the crisis? If you get onr of these kits does it do anything other than give you peace of mind. I mean I presume you can't just turn up back to work in the basis of a home test which you could have fiddled by presenting someone else's result? |

I wonder why British virus death figures are later than usual today? I was told today from someone in the NHS that 5 doctors have died so far, not sure if that's been on the news. This delay (comparatively) in releasing the figures is definitely making me nervous! It's strange how the Scottish and Welsh ones are released in the morning?? |

Yeah a good point but what we don't want is the toilet roll scenario all over again. Was talking to my Amazon lady today and she was saying how they are so swamped as it is. Be interesting to see. |

How accurate is such a test?
How sure are they about immunity?

Hope the delay in numbers isn’t anything to do with the increased amount of deaths. Has it usually been done at the same time every day? This is a few hours late.

Are you confusing the two tests here mate? The first one they're talking about upping from 5000 per day to 25000 per day is the test to see if you have got the disease. This has to be sent to the lab for analysis. The second one, the antibody test is the one they're developing and said millions would be available to buy through Amazon in the next couple of weeks, is the one which identifies if you have had the disease, either without knowing or recovered, and therefore hopefully have some immunity. This is an instant pin prick blood test. The second one you're mentioning here, is it the one they're developing in Sweden atm? They said on tv yesterday 1-2 months. I got the impression it was the first one in the world. Actually, the lady also said "if we work harder, we can perhaps even get it out faster than that!" But it wasn't a promise. Anyway, I think it could be bought by mail, testing at home. I would imagine so mate it seems the simpler of the two tests. Likened to a pregnancy test I heard. Immediate results. The actual test is a mouth swab which has to be sent off to a path lab for analysis. |

I would have thought was for your own health rather than saying you can work etc. I do feel for those self employed, zero hour etc and hopefully good news for them tomorrow with the announcement. Would also be useful data on spread, demography of those affected and how and mortality rates if people actually returned their results. |

How accurate is such a test? How sure are they about immunity? As it is brand new I suspect not accurate enough to make you feel comfortable enough to go out snogging people, and they'll only be sure about immunity if no-one who's tested has having had it gets it again. I don't think we yet know enough about the disease for this to be an 'immunity pass'. |

Classic mixed messaging example: Surgery: Can you come to your appointment tomorrow? It's important that you do. 89 year old nan: No, Government told me to stay in. I'm 89. Surgery: Its important that you come in. Can you physically leave the house? 89 year old nan: Yes I physically can but Government says i should stay in and not take public transport or taxi. Surgery: Does any member of your family have a car? 89 year old nan: Yes, my grandson. Surgery: Can he bring you? 89 year old nan: He would but lives in Canada  Surgery: Maybe we should postpone then and we'll see if we can organize a home visit mid April. If the medical people are encouraging old people to put themselves at risk, what hope do they have? I feel like ringing them up and asking them if they engage their brains before having these discussions.  |

If the models used to inform government policy are correct, by the summer the number of new cases of Covid-19 will have fallen and restrictions can be lifted. But the models also predict that the virus will return in the autumn. So should we reintroduce closures and shutdowns, inflicting further misery on the nation and economic damage, or let the epidemic run its course this time, hopefully building up this mystical “herd immunity” that will suppress future outbreaks? This is the million dollar question isn't it? It sounds like the answer is 6 months of shut down flipped off and on over the next 12 months. Jeez, I'll lose the will to live  |

Jeez, I'll lose the will to live I guess it will be informed by (a) how mortality actually pans out when we have known million + infections/recoveries and (b) what other near neighbours do and how effective it is by comparison. However I can forsee a situation where the 99% won't accept staying closed down indefinitely the sake of the 1% - and that will take some managing. |
