Or it is simply that they have more contacts, shake more hands, etc?

l have nothing against the PM being tested as he felt unwell but its a national scandal that the majority of the frontline NHS staff who are laying their lives on the line have still yet to be tested.

They should follow the advice.
I think we all know that the headline Coronavirus figure is absolute crap, explaining the disparity. The probability is we are already staggering obliviously into an Italy type situation.

I get that the media are why I hear about them and not poor Mrs Bodsworth just not why they're a disproportionate amount of the headline figure when 99.99999% of us are nobodies.

Re: Coronavirus
My wife came down with the Virus symptoms and so did my stepson. So nearly 7 days in me and my 6 year old are the only ones that appear to be virus free and I even share a bed with the wife still.
So when I approached my manager about it I said I wasn't sure if this was just a cold bug or the symptoms of covid-19. They said to be safe have 14 days off. Now because they don't test and me and my daughter haven't got it.
I'm a bit worried that because they don't test and it wasn't Covid then my wife and stepson who might have just had a bug will be walking about thinking they are immune to it now and may end up catching it at a later date and think it's a bug then end up spreading it.
