Coronavirus - Remain Calm. Do Not Panic

The issue is no one with the virus is being recorded. I'm just coming out of 2 weeks of this virus. My whole household had it, yet none of us will be recorded despite calling 111/ local GP. The figures are completely made up. The virus is everywhere here in london. Most people will get it over the next month or so.

Firstly, can you point out where I disagreed on the NHS being lax? The British response has been pathetic.  Nevertheless, I am still sceptical, and will remain so, that this is bullsh*t and that misinformation is dangerous, not just regarding the current situation but about the political misuse of it and the NHS role in that.

Secondly, you aren’t being clear, there feels like punctuation might be missing;  is she a doctor or are you? Or both? If so, why is she contacting a doctor in another country?Why did she ring 111? If she is a doctor, surely she knows another doctor nearer by? Why then go to a nurse and just accept it? Surely you would go higher up immediately? It is absolutely bizarre and completely illogical.

If I was told that I would feel obliged to tell the media. Given I have no medical qualifications I am not sure how seriously I would be taken, given she is, possibly, a doctor she would be taken as more genuine. 

Getting Coronavirus? 

She did everything correctly. Self isolated. Phoned 111. Phoned occupational health at her hospital.

End of story.

sometimes i think you just throw about uncommon words to try win a joust. apocryphal ffs. Uncertain would have done or doubtful.  

She spoke to a few doctors. Not that that was necessary. She was pyrexial for three days, with dry cough, SOB, and sore throat.

Unfortunately nobody can prove they have it currently without the swab test. She was denied a test. Since then loads more people have been denied it too. Thats not a secret. Its openly the policy in at least one NHS Trust not to test healthcare staff but instead tell them to isolate if symptomatic (this may have changed since but was the case two weeks ago).

So we still disagree. No problem.

you cant prove you have it unless you can test. and you cant. NHS staff now can test (not easily i might add) but that only came in last week. i have a cousin who is a junior doctor and he's been told to work until he physically cant. he's been told everyone will get this.

its a complete sh*t show here in the UK and there will be a huge death toll here.

Pedantry; boredom; my nature , they would be the three main ones.

Your last line is, unfortunately, entirely correct. I think Britain and USA will be the two countries to be hit worst by the outbreak, due to complete mismanagement of it. There is probably a link to the voracious capitalist nature of both states and governments, but it isn't really the time for that either.
