Even if there were 200 deaths a day, which is awful in its own right, it will be far lower than the deaths in one week at its peak in April of just over 8000.

And our match against Accrington Stanley is called off as well this Saturday as one suspects all clubs will get hit by Covid 19 in one or another.

I think he has still got it from the first time he was tested, but has since been tested again, so not sure if he's actually had it twice.

Re: Coronavirus
You can still pick up the virus again, but shouldn't reach the infectious or affected by disease stages.
Presence of the virus doesn't necessarily mean you are able to infect anybody else. His immune system should deal with it quickly and get rid of it.

Re: Coronavirus
Don't forget the death figure is people who have died within 28 days of a positive test or the figures I get pushed are. This could still include people going under a bus on day 27 if true. Still they can be comparable so if methodology and the percentages of bus fatalities is same. (And for those personally involved 1 is too high).

Re: Coronavirus
The number of hospital admissions for covid can't really be disputed, and that is going upwards.

Wife works in Adult Social Care . . the number of (elderly) people going into hospital with non threatening illness, and subsequently later testing positive (with no symptoms) while in there is probably - IMO - skewing the data.
Did they have Covid before admission, did they catch it while in hospital, or are the tests flawed?
You decide because no bugger else can

They're being admitted because of a positive test and being badly affected by it, not testing positive afterwards.

They could also die in ICU on the 29th day after their most recent positive test having never recovered from Coronavirus.

Not always. My elderly friend was admitted to hospital becasue her breathing had become very laboured, she is 87 and has COPD. They did a routine test for Covid-19 at her residential care home the week before and again on admission to hospital. Negative. They tested her again a week later and she is now positive.
The symptoms of Covid-19 aren't always as clear cut as we first thought and people are being admitted to hospital who have age related symptoms or preexisting condtion problems and not always because they have already had a positive test result. Luckily my friend is improving.
