The threat is real, and sadly it’s close to home now. Stay safe people.

None in Middlesbrough, one in Redcar and Cleveland. What are we doing right?

Nothing, we are a small population.

143000 in Middlesbrough - not that small

 

[bear66]

So about 1 in 250,000 compared with 1 in 20,000 (the national average).

I know of people in Middlesbrough who have been told they probably have it. They are just told to isolate no one is getting tested as it costs £150 a test.

Don’t speak too soon, let’s hope it stays that way.

Maybe there is advantage to having not much public transport and everybody travelling to work in their own cars.

My cousin believes he has it and is currently self-isolating.

As has been said, plenty within the region will have it but we don't know the official figures because people aren't getting tested.

 

[SE4 Red]

There will be many more cases in both Stockton and Middlesbrough.

As the Chinese have worked out the day by day symptom...
Day 1. 99.9% of people start off with a fever and aches and pains.
Day 2 Fatigue and aches.
Persistant DRY cough.
Lots of other symptoms overlap with flu but you will not have a runny nose!!
