Corona Virus Treatment

Our province has adopted the use of the app or one similar. It is voluntary and what they say is that if/when you receive an alert advising you that someone you have been near has contracted the virus, please go get tested and isolate until you get a negative result- takes 24 hours for the result when tested.

The pubs for most of my province are either open on their patios. I think that the table service indoors would also be good, as you have, because they can allow seating at alternating tables to keep distancing intact and only allow table service to further ensure it. Pubs cannot be expected to survive on sunny day only sales. So you got it right, our guys are still clamping down a bit much.

I'll visit my local, probably tomorrow, for an hour and chat with friends I haven't seen in months. None of these people would get in my space or rudely sneeze without putting they face in the crook of their arm or in a tissue so I'm confident that I will not be exposed to any harm. And I want to support the pub.

 

Shouldn't think so.
Loads who don't even realise they have it or that they can give it to others.

 

“House prices are unlikely to take a significant hit any time soon. If anything, the stimulus the government has created in response to COVID-19 is more likely to create one of the biggest property booms the UK market is ever likely to see"



That's what estate agents tell the media in press releases.

Privately, they're telling vendors that potential buyers are offering 20% below asking price, and that many of these offers are being accepted.

A good few problem questions here

England now has 1m social distancing, in Scotland we are still at 2m

So I jump on a full train at Newcastle that is legally set at 1m social distancing,
What happens at the border at Berwick, do half of us have to get off and walk ?

Apart from the queues, shopping has not been too bad thanks to the weather
Now I do not really look forward to standing in the queue three times around the
supermarket car park in torrential rain and 10c

 

Ah, it depends ... on WorldoMeter they say today UK 306,862 +652 43,081 +154 ... but their source says ...

• 652 new cases and 154 new deaths in the United Kingdom. Due to historic revisions to pillar 1 by the Government, the cumulative total for positive cases is 1 case lower than if you added the daily figure to yesterday’s total. [source] [source]

 

and precisely my point on June 17th and in agreement with @pete.

Yes, it only takes one but if you wear mask when you can't keep your distance and touch only what you need to, then sanitize/wash your hands you've probably eliminated the possibility of getting it

There are only 17 active cases in the entire town today - a "town" of just under 200K people. And in my entire region of 450K people there are only 2 active cases in old folks homes which is lovely to know

 

Looks like the mortality rate is closer to 65k. We've decided to start venturing out in August - provided there is no spike in infections that is.
