Re: Covid-19 discussion thread
The 'R' rate might be falling, but cases are rapidly rising because so many are infected. Anecdotally I've heard suggestions that R > 3 in some areas of London. Locally the number of cases has gone from 4 to 36 in a week.

Which makes me wonder, what's the point of the R-rate then, and why is it falling when like you say, cases are rising rapidly in some areas.

It's an average, and mathematically they are easy to skew.

I meant way back at the beginning of the year..Who knows? You could be worrying for absolutely no reason.
And yes you could still have it but be completely asymptomatic or..you could still have it and just feel a bit ill. It's not a death sentence for everyone..If it were then it would be a very different matter.

At least I'm occupied with trying to mend something at work at the moment...

And I refer you to the fact that people with co-morbidities can sail through Covid. It's not a foregone conclusion that you will fall foul to it.
I'm glad you're doing something else other than ruminating on your potential demise. You can control your environment unlike others who can't.
