How Many Cases of COVID-19 in Your Area?

Ann1984 Why?

Dennab it's 94 now live in Wales and not sending them to school because am there mother and I have a right to keep my children safe

Ann1984 I'm not sure what you mean by "it's 94 live in Wales" but why do you think that they will be unsafe? Have you read the stats on who is affected by this virus? I'm just intrigued by your logic.

Dennab well 11 local to postcode am not only one schools have emailed to say it’s ok for us too who’s to say one of my children is a carrier as 25 percent don’t show symptoms plus the link above is only giving yesterday figures its not updating

Ann1984 I see. You mentioned keeping them safe though. How is being a carrier with no symptoms unsafe to their personal health? Also, how have you managed to narrow it down to postcode? That website only gives a figure for an entire county.

Dennab I wouldn’t wont them to give it to someone if they were a carrier no one will ever know if they are your local news website gives you the borough number

BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES. You're doomed.

Dennab looking at your profile me being nosey are you only here to put people down your posts are as if your making a mock of this Coronavirus

Ann1984 That's quite the accusation there. Maybe you should be a little less nosey.

Ann1984 We're all a little nosey at times.

Whilst we should all be a little concerned, I certainly don't think we should all go into panic mode over it.

Whilst the covid-19 cases are increasing, what the media is failing to tell us is that many of those who contracted the virus are now recovering or already have recovered. Talk about scaremongering.

RegularComper90 You're single with no kids?

TheChimp Why? Are you asking me out?

RegularComper90 you may want to look at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ answers your questions.

lilyflower Thank you. Nice to have a bit of relief.

TheChimp What does having kids have to do with anything?

Dennab I was going to ask RegularComper90 out.

TheChimp Good luck

Dennab Don't fancy my chances tbh

We never know who we stand next to. I'm in the rural northeast but my daughter is a nurse on front line testing - we wait.

I agree leave some shopping others x

Only classes Wales as one place so doesn't give a real idea for where you live. There are 94 cases in Wales, out of a local population of 3,138,631

KirsteyJames 94 in wales if you go onto walesonline it tells you what areas

lilyflower i know we have different towns and counties so no idea how close. As far as ive seen on fb there are a few local families self isolating because of symptoms - some have returned from abroad recently (but they have been told they cant be tested). I dont think we have had any confirmed cases within a few miles radius

lilyflower The actual numbers change from day to day - and I consider the only reasonable way to get some idea is to compare the population with the number of cases.

Even then the figures are unreliable because it is only "confirmed" cases that are counted.

Furthermore if someone dies the population should be reduced by one.

Hope nobody's confused

davidstockport Here's me thinking you were only interested in 'tailored clothing' and I've used 3 out of my 5 comments for Monday!

lilyflower You can comment as many times as you wish - but you only get points for the first five - so no harm done? I don't even count but have probably (at 12;45am) already reached that limit. I don't post for points, I'd still post if there were no points at all. So don't expect me to shut up too quickly.

davidstockport I don't count either. It's very rude to stop just because you don't get points. I'm not here to see how quickly I can make £5. Don't expect you to shut up - you have some very interesting points and information.

lilyflower I've noticed that you are always willing to come back to your post - always respected and appreciated. (I'm a firm believer in talking beyond the point-value)

angemski Thank you. I don't see any sense in starting a chat and then not having a conversation, unless of course you only want the points

davidstockport I couldn't agree more the figures are totally unreliable. My daughter was sent home from work to self isolate as she was feverish with cold symptoms, we took food to her and picked up our grandaughter. However, it transpires that my grandaughter still needs to go to school so she will go back to her mother today and return to school tomorrow. My daughter will not be tested as they have said they don't do it as this stage. My point being a) how many others are self isolated at the moment? b) out of them how many actually do have the virus? and c) if children from a home where someone is self isolating have to go to school and it turns out the person did have the virus surely that presents the opportunity to spreadit like wildfire? To me these official figures seem nonsense and have the potential to make people complacent or vice versa. I wholeheartedly agree not to panic and hysteria and stockpiling are no good to anyone but I think realism and concern are necessary. Even the scientists can't agree with each other over the best way to tackle this virus.
