I would guess its actually a bit of bad news IF your symptoms were manageable and a quick recovery meant you were immune (temporary at least). I think everyone would love the antibodi just to ease the mind slightly even though it wouldn't change my behaviour too much

Yep

I have been working from home all the way through anyway, so nothing changed or changes for me really.  At least I can now return to doing my parents shopping without putting them at risk.

At least I know i don't currently have it, would be nice to know if I have had it at some point in the past though - in hindsight, if I got to the point where a test was required, it might have made sense to give me the anti body test at the same time to start to build up a picture of who has had it..

Good point about the anti body test as the government really need to get that underway as soon as they have one.
I'll say it's good news as I lost a work colleague through the virus who was only early 50's and in fairly good health so nobody is safe so rather not have it as there's no guarantees any of us will pull through

So, not "following the science" after all - scientists are concerned about easing lockdown while levels of infections still remain in the 1000s daily.

Fantastic that's all we need the emergence of vampire monkeys. I'd better get pissed tonight to ensure some sleep.

My test came back negative, so just carrying a severe cough/cold

I'd still be a little careful, a colleague had all the symptoms, in hospital, tested 4 times in the space of 48 hours, first three tests came back negative.  Some issues with their reliability apparently

Hmmm. A lot of the scientists on SAGE being vocal on twitter yesterday that infection rates remain too high and track and trace is not in a good enough position to support the lockdown relaxation measures coming in place Monday

Added to that the UK still remains at stage 4 of the governments self implemented 5 stage system that was introduced a few weeks ago

The cynic in me would say there was some ulterior motive behind relaxing the rules

Hmm, so far. Don't count your chickens there, it's ramping up on a similar trajectory as Russia (a bit like we had a month or so back) and there are now reports of hospitals in Mumbai starting to be overwhelmed. It started more slowly in India but it could be about to get very nasty there.

You were spot on Paul.

Quote from: bbc
India has recorded its largest single-day jump in cases of coronavirus, with almost 8,000 new infections and 265 deaths. More than a third of the cases are in Maharashtra, one of the country’s richest states. Footage from hospitals in Mumbai earlier this week showed wards overwhelmed with patients
