In amongst all the gloom, doom and despondency in this thread, even worse the other thread , and in the outside world, there is some good news
See here
https://covid.joinzoe.com/dataMe and mrs terrym and 2.5 million other folks (and rising daily) are contributing towards this data collection exercise.
So if you have a mobile phone, and are sober, and can answer simple questions, you should be contributing as well

I've been wondering about (and discussing with other forumites) how the nightingale hospitals would be staffed since they built them. I was wondering where they would get the specialist nurses from seeing as regular hospitals would need all they could get;

"Dozens of patients with Covid-19 have been turned away from the NHS Nightingale hospital in London because it has too few nurses to treat them, the Guardian can reveal"

"One member of staff said: “There are plenty of people working here, including plenty of doctors. But there aren’t enough critical care nurses. They’re already working in other hospitals and being run ragged there. There aren’t spare people [specialist nurses] around to do this. That’s the problem. That leads to patients having to be rejected, because there aren’t enough critical care nurses.”

What if this was a real war if we built planes but had no pilots, if we have landing craft but no soldiers and if we have soldiers and they had no weapons.

What confused me is I had all these symptoms on holiday and after towards the end of May last year in turkey.

They are very common symptoms of many viruses.

That may be but it's just exact to me and answer's my questions. This frightened me I even ended over a few pillows face down trying to clear my lungs. I suffered afterwards for a long time, fatigue and heart palpatations. I think this as been around longer or strains of this. I wouldn't be surprised if I showed antibodies when they get a test.

It hasn't been. Lots of strains of Coronavirus are constantly circulating and spreading throughout the world. It just so happens that every now and again, one emerges that is deadly. SARS and MERS are examples of this. This particular strain was not circulating May of last year.

Human trials of the Oxford teams vaccine are to start on Thursday, fingers crossed.

Chippy they can invent all the vaccines they want but i aint having one, until it is tested to the hilt

But it definitely isn’t Lupus

No, it as not but sometimes it takes a while to get to the bottom of the truth. I don't think we have yet myself and alot of covered truths. Time will tell, like I said I'll be interesting to have an antibodies test.

Just watching NewsNight and their article on being able to achieve 100,000 tests per day. So far we are falling well short of this very recent promise. With 8 days to go before end of April, best UK can manage is 20,000 tests with heavy beaurocracy associated with tests. No-one was available to comment from government on this most pressing issue.

There must be more than one strain of this for me.

 

[mickthetrick]

its mutating as it evolves i believe?

Something was in me giving me all the exact symptoms though. I know that much. Obviously something similar.

Yeah. There are many many viral infections that present very similarly to this. The problem with this particular strain of Coronavirus is that spreads very easily and has a much higher mortality rate than similar viruses.

 

[nige]

Well one strain seems to be able to kill fit healthy people and others may have no symptoms.
I know myxomatoss in rabbits has 3 and one kills one gives some immunity. Not the same but shows how a mutation splits a strain.
