    What’s the betting that a firm based in Melton will be reading up on ventilator manufacturing right now?

    To be fair, I think it's probably more accurate to say they've said they support the decision, rather than taking part in forming it.

    Yes !
    If herd immunity works why do people get Flu more than once .
    As you say vaccine It also needs to now be more actively encouraged .
    Unfortunately for this strain it's a year away .
    Will it mutate I this time ?
    It way very well be a never ending battle .

    Found out last night a friend of mine has the virus. Been in self isolation for 11 days after coming back from Italy. I asked him what’s its like, the symptoms and the effect. He is a healthy guy in his 40’s. He said it’s not too bad, he has had worse colds. A few of his other friends are in the same situation. They say the same thing.

    They still think it’s doubling every five days, there’s just a delay between the number of people infected and the number of people diagnosed.

    A letter in today's Observer from a 77-year-old retired GP:
    'I intend to "carry on as usual", accepting that I may become infected and the outcome may be death, which comes to us all and at least is likely to be from a short illness rather than dementia and years in a care home.'

    The severity of the illness definitely seems to be age-related.
