Gonna speak to the head of mum's care agency tomorrow, see if I can get the test and any carer that was abroad over Xmas. Think all this Chinese stuff is a smokescreen, it just worsened quickly there due to their hygene etc.

our youngest member of staff (18) was very porley for a week mid January, I sent him home from work as he was struggling with a temperature and breathing.
Within a six week period my staff, most of their household families had varying levels of illness. My wife was not good and suffered a really bad cough and breathing difficulties.
Who knows if it was Covid but I wish we could find out.!
the only thing that doesn’t stack up is the fact I was in regular contact with my parents who are both in their 60’s. This was close contact, them round for dinner etc or us to their house. My dad has serious underlying issues and they never became effected.
Our children never developed anything looking back which I suppose is neither here nor there.
sorry for the long winded story, I’m just trying to make some sort of sense of the whole thing.! Every time I try, I end with more questions than answers!!!

That’s the difficulty with it. Not everyone suffers the same, some have it and will never know.

This rapid antibody testing being carried out by Emirates is definitely the way forward. A possible game changer for places like Ibiza, who will be walking the tightrope between getting the Islands economy back on track, while trying to minimise the risk of importing the disease.

Emirates becomes first airline to conduct on-site rapid COVID-19 tests for passengers
Dubai, UAE, 15 April 2020 – Emirates in coordination with Dubai Health Authority (DHA) will be introducing additional precautions. Passengers on today’s flight to Tunisia were all tested for COVID-19 before departing from Dubai. Emirates is the first airline to conduct on-site rapid COVID-19...

There is almost no doubt it came from China, because the bats carrying the original virus are endemic to China.
The virus has been present in China since at least December 1 (first officially documented case). So it could have easily gotten to Europe back in December, and without superspreading events, it would have been barely noticeable in the beginning.

They haven't traced the original virus back to bats in China. They only detected virus with similar physical identifiers - but not the identical one. Covid-19 is not identical to any virus found in an animal to date and very likely mutated somewhere along the line. It could even have mutated in a human infected with a non-lethal coronavirus inside or outside of a laboratory.

I’m getting the antibody test done in the next few weeks. Praying it comes back positive.
This level of stupidity is incredible. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-euro...IBK6Qv7EZACzQ-OG-N2GbjbC-jNyQ2PcqKH3gx8lDqP9U

Tidy have posted a video, saying they’re not putting on any events until July 2021 as in their opinion even spring 2021 is unlikely. They’re also under the assumption that in the UK pubs aren’t opening until December, surely sheer speculation on that point.

I guess it’s not really flu season now or not so much in the U.K.

Apparently in the UK they've been testing for normal flu and not had any detected cases since mid March.

Is that uncommon? I know flu is mainly seasonal but I thought still some of it goes around even amongst summer? I know I've had a cold/flu in summer before (Not pressing on the it's not worse than flu bullshit here btw) just curious

Glad to see Cassy has raised this ridiculous thing of DJs with the begging bowl out to pay their tour managers.
CASSY on Instagram: “WTF IS GOING ON ???? ? SPEECHLESS ... please God help them see the light!!! ??”

ridiculous state of affairs when multi millionaire DJs are asking the general public to ‘donate’ to their staff. Nobs
At least some of those are UK based and assuming they’re doing things above board could furlough them at least. Alan Fitzpatricks for example has another job scouting webcam models for porn sites ?
All the video is missing is a scrolling number at the bottom and a solemn narrator saying that without your help, some tour managers won't be able to have cocaine and champagne for breakfast anymore.....

here are a few personal impressions of my walks/runs so far since we got the OK for those last saturday.
generally, people are currently abiding to the rules in an exemplary fashion I think. I've not seen any big groups anywhere and the vast majority of people do respect the 'no subathing, no swimming' rule, even if it's really inviting. on the first day in the morning a few teenies couldn't resist, but that's about it.
especially in the evening slot (8pm to 11pm) and depending where you live and where you go, there are lots of people out in the streets and also on the beach to walk. it's understandable though, in a normal case people would either have been outside earlier in the day to excercise or then, and far more so, lots of those people now walking, running or cycling, would usually be somewhere on a terrace of a restaurant having a few cañas with their friends. but since that's still a no-go, everyone goes walking.
out in the street (let's say in the open) and on the beach only a very small percentage is wearing a mask. but as you go closer into a village and you get to shops and such, that percentage goes up rapidly and in the supermarkets it's almost at a 100%.
right now, people (very much including me) resist the urge to hug and kiss their friends. this morning I've seen three of them on my walk and we spoke at a 2m distance for a bit. it's weird, but it's encouraging to see that so far, people seem to understand it's what we should do.
now, IF ibiza goes into phase one next monday (I think we will) and thus terraces can open again and up to 10 people can meet, that's when it'll start to get interesting and I just wonder how long society will be able (or willing?) not to hug and kiss everyone to say hello. it's the most normal and standard thing here so it's gonna be hard for some. obviously, the longer we can resist that urge the better and maybe we're lucky and don't get any early spikes again.
more later in the other thread when we get numbers.
