Where Are People Catching Covid-19 From?

[AuntPollyGrey]

The UK has now been in lockdown nearly five weeks, longer than it takes an individual to catch CV-19 and show signs, therefore the hundreds of new cases admitted yesterday into hospital and the 813 people who died in hospital yesterday must have caught the virus after the lockdown -or did they? Where are people catching the virus? In supermarkets? From delivered shopping? Post? Why is the Government not researching where people are catching the virus from now we are in lockdown.?

woofgang I don't know who your question was aimed at as it may have been deleted but you can buy the kits privately from Harley Street. They cost £179

APG that's a "have you got it" test. The removed post referred to a "have you had it" test.

Ah I see -wonder why it was removed. Anyway I'm not even sure there is a test for that yet -though in my opinion it would be much more useful than the 'have you got it' test.

I know this has been done to death now and the main points have been covered, but there is also the issue of the time taken for a death to be reported. Even though hospital deaths are usually recorded pretty quickly you'll still find that some of those deaths in Sunday's figures would have occurred during the previous week, and sometimes trusts don't submit the data in time.
In the case of deaths outside Care Homes we know the time taken to obtain a death certificate and can easily be 7-14 days.
The bottom line is that those deaths recorded now could relate to infections that occurred maybe 4 weeks ago and they may have caught it from an asymptomatic member of the household/work/carehome who had been infected maybe a week earlier.
