Why? Most people who get this don't need hospitalisation? I was joking about the 1/3rd of the way, but we're probably a lot highr than 1%. You must remember that unlike an Italy we have a very young population that doesn't get severe symptoms of this.

We have a very large proportion of our population with HIV and TB etc. Our annual deaths from pneumonia are made up of 1/3rd HIV+ persons - we have a huge immunocompromised population.

This is not good news. I guess others will follow very soon.

Well he's not completely batty. Consider an additional 128 cases in 1 day, then consider most people are waiting 3-4 days for their results and what do you think the actual number might be right now? Then consider that there'll be plenty who aren't being tested to begin with...

family waited 6 days for results. I suspect not the only ones that are experiencing lags.

i really wish those people who say things that don't exist would keep their privileged information to themselves rather than causing mass panic

And yet not even one critical case let alone death from CoVID-19.

I need to have bloods taken on Thursday for my oncologist..... I wonder what the waiting room will look like and if there'll be a delay with the results (they normally take 24 hours).
Was supposed to see her on Monday but just got a call from her rooms that it will now be a telephonic consult at the same time
