Tell me about it - ME/PVS is horrid. When it first develops it terrifies you to think you are coming down with MS or some nervous system illness that will eventually kill you. Anxiety goes through the roof - not even a psychiatrist can reasure you everything is ok because the symptoms are that dreadful. It took the doctor 1 year to confirm my diagnosis. 20 years later and I still suffer from time to time but it's so relieving once you had the tests and diagnosis. I do expect some people to who recover from this virus to get similar symptoms to PVS. Mine started after the H1N1 virus which turned into pneumonia for 3 months in 2009/2010. The recovery was soon followed by my unfortunate downfall to PVS. 

Every sympathy my friend!

3 years of prodding/poking/blood letting to be left with " you have PVS, try and live within your limitations"........

As I say they 'practice medicine'....... 1/3rd 'clear up' via Placebo and 1/3rd not cleared up...... so their 'hit rate' pretty much shadows the 'Placebo' hit rate?

Do not get me wrong , they are widely read and experienced in running the 'machine that goes ping' but they are as 'mortal' as the next person when it comes to figuring a 'diagnosis'?

H1N1 in December 2010 left me struggling with the impacts of 'Post viral Syndrome' and I'm sure this virus will create its own pool of victims that will also find their lives radically altered by such an 'autoimmune misfire' even if they 'sail through' the infection itself?

The common factor in Me/PVS/Yuppie flu is stress/anxiety?

Get into a 'calm' headspace and you might spare yourself worse later!!!!

You have my sympathy mate. Yuppie flu is indeed related to high stress levels. Basically when your really stressed and over worked your body's immune system runs lower, leaving you prone to more bugs and virus bacteria to enter your system. Your body is basically one big hormone when under stress, and this can lead to all your thoughts and physical actions misfiring. But the strange thing for me is how you actually feel like the flu is coming on during these periods, only to feel better after a goodnights rest the next day. I'm pretty sure many on here are feeling a hell of a lot worse since following this virus! Some are probably convinced they now have it after feeling a little run down! Post viral syndrome definitely exists, and I'm pretty confident that pre virus syndrome also does.

85% of cases in France so far have been mild .

15% have needed hospital treatment .

So the Deputy CMO in the UK peddling her 99% line of just a bit of flu is really not acceptable.

Clearly just a bit of flu doesn’t have you in hospital .

So that's an increase of about 55 since yesterday?

Well that is at least a sign that things are still somewhat under control here with the obvious lag of a good 5-8 days based on the incubation period.

Looks like we are roughly in line with the Netherlands, however Spain is very worrying because that is rapidly taking off and yet another country that we are going to have to watch like a hawk.

Breaking: A total of 373 people have tested positive for coronavirus in the UK as of 9am on Tuesday up from 319 yesterday

Containment protocols are working and community transmission is being kept to a minimum.

Who knows how many unconfirmed cases there are though

Where are you getting all that from? As far as I can tell, the Deputy CMO has said no such thing?

Good to see its fairly stable line...however I do suspect given both Italy have recently shot up and now Spain is doing the exact same within the average incubation time (Italy have added 6000 cases and Spain was at just 228), we are surely going to import more cases which may lead to community spread more widely, especially in the London region.

Think we have probably been more lucky than anything else thus far...

If the numbers go up that should be no surprise as that is what the government and its advisers have been telling us for a while now.

Daily case numbers for the past 7 days =  34-30-48-43-67-46-54

Yeh, there's more hysteria in here than the media at times. Still early days, but UK cases do seem to be slightly lower than the "trend", if its even a reliable trend.

Out of interest, do we know how the UK results time lag compares to other countries? Some suggestions that tests were taking 3 to 4 days to give a result, so if thats still the case, it could explain the lag maybe?

[Summer Sun]

Cases by region in England

• East of England | 29 (+5)
• London | 91 (+30)
• Midlands | 36 (+6)
• North East and Yorkshire | 24 (+2)
• North West | 37 (+2)
• South East | 51 (+8)
• South West | 41  (+3)

To be determined | 15 (-9)

Maybe they're so mild the majority have gone unreported? Away from London official number are only going up by small amounts each day.

Very good news ! It's definitely been contained

Only worry is London 

I would expect a bigger rise in the Midlands due to that school
