Yes, these are uncertain times and who can say what the next weeks will bring.
Economies under threat, unemployment may rise etc.
Funny, but winning the CL no longer seems so important.
Stay safe guys.

Yep.

All that matters now is that we can get through this without too many people dying.

It really is spreading.
We should look at past outbreaks like the H1N1 virus of 2009. Analysis of the pandemic after it was over put the infected number at 1.4 Billion worldwide. During daily reporting at the time it was a fraction of that. I suspect what we are seeing is less than 5-10% of the real number of cases, but the hopeful sign of that is the death rate is probably a lot lot lower than is being seen in the data as we live through this.
No comfort to those families who have lost loved ones but it is a reason for those that have contracted the virus, no matter what age, to be more confident of a recovery.

Hope everyone is taking it seriously and staying at home.

The "bright spot" is that when someone develops immunity their antibodies can be injected into others to prevent or even cure the virus. The more people found to have had mild cases increases the antibody pool.

A friend of mine is holed up in his country cottage in Hertfordshire and reports that farmers are out planting. That is vital.

I would love to meet your pigs! Either in person or on a plate!

this is far from a foregone conclusion...

"Mike Ryan, the head of the WHO’s emergencies program, has said convalescent plasma is a “very important area to pursue” as a potential treatment for patients with Covid-19. “It must be given at the right time because it mops up the virus in the system and it just gives the new patient’s immune system a vital push at the time it needs it — but it has to be carefully time and it’s not always successful.”"

Went out shopping today for our stuff and for my 89 yr old mum. I felt like an extra in a Sci Fi movie queuing up with people in face masked and gloves.

Good to see everyone taking the advice seriously though and making a big effort to maintain the 2 m distance. Stay safe all!

Well the government advisor did say that 50% of the UK population may have already come into contact with it. If that's true, then the numbers are pretty promising in perspective.
