Just because the daily testing capacity rises I guess

 

It's likely to be a combination of increased testing and increased spread of the virus within the community.

I wouldn’t be that shocked if we hit something like 10,000 new cases a day at some point. 

 

It's looking very likely as the number of cases will rise exponentially before the curve spikes and it looks like the U.S. are just on the beginning of their curve.

+5050 new cases in the USA and +4528 in Germany today

I'm currently watching a BBC Proms programme from 2017 showcasing the music of the famous movie composer John Williams. The perfect respite from the constant coronavirus news.

Here are two quotes from last year to illustrate this does not seem like a guy one would really feel sorry for if he feels a bit sick.

 

 

Ugh, not what you would call a model citizen.

+191 new cases here today, only 9 countries reported a higher number of new cases today than that. Worrying times. The Taoiseach (Prime Minister) said that we are expecting 15000 cases here in next 2 weeks. And we ordered 30,000 more test kits. The numbers beginning to look scary here.

This is the strangest St.Patrick's Day I can recall.... no parades, no pubs open, no parties, no celebrations. Screw you coronavirus

Here the government announced there will be testing for everyone with symptoms. So if I had gotten sick this week and not last week then I would have been tested.

Do you guys just say hello nowadays when meeting new people instead of shaking hands? Elbow bumps have been the hype here but that seems so childish and so far I've been able to avoid them

I haven’t met any new people recently

What are you going to do at the GP's office with flu though? I mean, if you're not going there to get tested for SARS-CoV-2, then what?  

 

Oh and I'm wishing you well of course  

I need to get examined so that I can get a sick cert for work, they don’t issue one without examination. Only reason I am going.

[OlympicIRL 5,014]

Guess who’s been off work sick the last few days?

 

Yep, me! Sorry to disappoint you all but I just have the good old fashioned flu. I discussed it on the phone with the doctor today as it is protocol not to just turn up at the GP’s office with flu symptoms. He said I can come in to his office in the morning.
 

But man do I feel like shit. I spent most of last night getting sick and my stomach and throat are in bits today. Meh I hate all these viruses they are not my friends.
