Will Check the Durham Figures later when Available see how they have gone if another massive rise .....

I myself as a simple way of working out death ratio Would add a zero to those who tested positive ....

as a simple Figure , I would say 150000  have the virus  and sadly Those dead will almost certainly reach a 1000 today

The positive is there could be a lot more with or who have the Virus ..

Also if they have found 380 separate mutations, might explain the high death figures in Lombardy, and explain why so many people could be infected in the UK, without the super high death figures.  We could have less virulent mutations

1 case added today Durham 56 PMSL , Pissing in the wind covers in Clyde ,how can it go from 1-55 in 5 days then 1

How are they getting these figures ? Unless not updated yet ... 

Must be some bloke in a back office with Abacus ,Wrong row moved yesterday

So what's the total on chit chat who have tested positive to covid 19 ?

Thanks BOX , I want a test when I have fully recovered  ,Slight cough and feel a bit fluey today so hopefully it will fook off in a couple of days

Been out for a bit of Fresh air seen one person we avoided each other , People need fresh air , Its fresh out there today

All the best case.

Mrs Working in boots with Mobs in and out I said we were 1.01 to get it ..

So no chance of getting it through the internet ?

will you get this virus if you stay indoors without any contact with anyone ?

Ever had someone walk past your street door smoking, and you can smell the smoke?  (yes)... Then imo yes you can catch this virus indoors without contact with anyone.

Vaping the virus. Selfish baztards. Only think of themselves.How the fek can you avoid clouds of that ****?

i honestly don't think it occurs to most people they could be spreading it vaping   ...i gave it some thought a while back sitting in the garden  as the neighbor vapes  some days  and thought i was being paranoid

also ..... It comes as US doctors fear vaping is behind coronavirus cases in young adults

Charlie, I mentioned smoking because you can smell smoke.. You cant smell a cough. hth.

I doubt it Thegiggilo, touching stuff someone has coughed on and/or coughing would be my guess,not sure but likely imho

When we breath on cold days, you can see waves of condensation leave our lungs. So this condensation wouldnt be contaminated with virus?.. I doubt it, but I'm no expert.

If that,s the case it Aiborne every time someone breaths ??

the condensation happens when the warm air Breath hits the cold ,I THINK ...

The new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 appears to be fairly easily spread. But the good news is that it's not among the most transmissible diseases out there.

The new coronavirus spreads mostly through person-to-person contact within about a 6-foot (1.8 meters) radius, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). People with COVID-19, which is the disease caused by the coronavirus, spread viral particles through coughing and sneezing. The particles can land in the mouths or noses of those nearby.

It might also be possible to catch SARS-CoV-2 by touching a surface where the virus has recently landed and then touching one's mouth, nose or eyes, but CDC officials believe this method of transmission is less common. Some coronaviruses can live on surfaces for days, but not much is known about the new coronavirus' ability to survive on surfaces. Fortunately, ethanol, hydrogen-peroxide or bleach-based cleaners are effective at killing those coronaviruses that do survive on surfaces.

Unlike some extremely contagious pathogens, the virus is not thought to spread via smaller droplets that can remain airborne for long periods of time. Measles, for example, can live in the air for hours after an infected person coughs or sneezes. This is not currently believed to be the case for SARS-CoV-2.

There is limited evidence that the new coronavirus can spread through feces as well. A small study of the stool samples of those diagnosed with COVID-19 found that viral particles in those stools looked viable under a microscope. "This means that stool samples may contaminate hands, food, water, etc.," the China CDC wrote in the report. For instance, if a person didn't wash their hands after touching a surface contaminated with infected stool residue, there's a chance they could become infected if they touch their eyes, nose or mouth with their hands, Live Science previously reported.

Thanks Angoose,that is clear enough.

Recent study that says Covid-19 does indeed remain viable in the air for at least 3 hours

Well, it would be pretty weird I think for any respiratory-based virus causing a pandemic if it didn't transfer in the most efficient and basic way

I haven't shaken it off yet, though symptons remain very mild for myself.  The blocked nose I had to start with has gone though.  Plenty of my wife's extended family have the symptons.  It seems to have started with my wife's sister who is a carer.  Brother in law texted me and said "we're finding that the symptons are fluctuating with severity so you might get very tired some days and have to just stay in bed"  I've not been so ill as to stay in bed (unlike the wife) but I do get the fluctuating bit.  Often felt completely fine and think I'm over it, then suddenly don't.  And the cycle repeats.
