Some of these strikes are very drawn out and echoey

Have you got a source for this?
I've know people personally and unless you're famous most tests are taking from 3 days to a week to come back at the minute.

Schools starting to shut anyway because there's not enough staff.

It's not the virus it's self killing people, but an immune system over reaction.
Is there a way to slow the immune system so it doesn't cause so much damage?

Netherlands have 155 new cases, they are probably the closest match to us and have bring very close to our numbers the whole way through.
We were also very close to Switzerland last week.

South Korea has tested more than 140,000 people for the new coronavirus and confirmed more than 6,000 cases. Its fatality rate is around 0.6%.
SK's extensive testing probably shows a much truer fatality rate, rather than countries where testing is less so. By this assumption the 3, 4% mortality rates are probably way too high.
So, months down the line from now, should we expect a 'true' fatality rate of 0.6% OR if a country can contain more effectively, then maybe fatality rate will be even lower than 0.6%?
Those numbers are similar to the cruise ship which was 0.6-0.8% so probably around that number.

So, if a person in your area was diagnosed with it and 3 days before the announcement he or she had visited their local tesco express, would you decide not to go to that shop for a week or something?
Most people would be fine going but I wouldn't take an at risk person there until it was cleaned.

You what? What use exactly would giving locations do? Unless you give out names and addresses, its a complete waste of time to update it every day.
It either causes hypochondriac panic in the named locations, or complacency in locations that arent listed!
Its nice to know the locations if you have an elderly relative to make sure they aren't going near any hotspots. Hopefully the authorities would alert you anyway if it was nearby.

Give em time, blimey!
I'd be surprised if they are hiding locations, but even if they did, does it matter anyway?
I was just wondering as they're normally in the 2pm update but obviously they were later today.
-
Why haven't they told us the locations of today's cases?

Would it be possible for a virus to spread as easily as this one with a 10%+ death rate as that would be scary.

Sorry for being late,
6.6C and 102mm please
