My personal list of known cases :-
1. 2 people from work - tested positive
2. Sisters friend - in hospital on oxygen
3. 1 cousin's family - positive all caught it - in isolation - over worst - mild, especially the kids.
4. 2 cousin's family - in isolation, cousin's hubby with temp and persistent cough (so far mild - he's in denial )- almost certainly it - Cousin thinks it is and she is a nurse. She also thinks it's highly likley they will all get it.
Just a snapshot and anecdotal for sure but multiply that around the country and it's loads of people, then you add all the mild and asymptomatic cases that won't have been tested. IMHO this is massively more widespread than the official figures are suggesting.
The positive spin on this is we could be a lot nearer the day we reach some kind of herd immunity than is currently officially recognised.
Still no idea if my cough and tight chest was "it" - and won't do until antibody tests wheeled out.
