I think the US might see a bit of a bump in the next few days as New York was responsible for the bulk of the confirmed cases, but as it's now spreading to places which aren't quite so prepared, they'll start catching up.
Prediction for todays numbers if the trend continues (and I hope it does). US - 800 dead, 27 000 new cases. UK - 300 dead, 2000 new cases
Testing basically isn't occuring here in the UK.

No, but what testing there is is consistent at least (on entry to hospital).
I'm wondering if the numbers will spike with the NHS worker tests which started a few days ago?

Are they the antibody tests?
I'd imagine a lot have already had it, i feel that's true for the wider populace as well tbh.

Ah, that's right, it's the antibody test.
I think quite a few will have had it too, but a lot of people are saying the same - attributing previous illnesses to it.
We'll never really know the truth

I'm not sure this is good advice. The steroids thing applies to patients with severe symptoms and there is no evidence that mild cases will progress to severe ones more easily if anti-asthma steroids are used. In all likelihood, keeping one's asthma under control is a MUCH better idea than to cease medication 'just in case'.
I hear you, I shouldn't be giving out medical advice. Just relaying the info I have seen docs sharing about what improves and worsens outcomes. I believe the issue here is that covid19 patients are already lymphopenic which is of course exacerbated by immune suppressants

Frankly I think weāve just hit our testing limits
Apparently the virus is spreading wildly on the USS Roosevelt, an aircraft carrier, and the captain has gone public with the situation because the military is not acting.

There are supposed to be some interesting developments in testing lately. There's a team in Taiwan that has made one that is just some pads you put on their back to image the lungs. Supposed to be a minute or so I think, and that other one in the US that I think takes 15 minutes. They are supposed to roll out soon I think

Day three with a fairly productive cough. Headache is new this morning. Temperature of 96.9. Iād like to get tested but thereās no way that will happen with a temperature nearly two degrees below normal. Maybe Iām slowly turning into a zombie.

We've been trying to only go to the store once a week, so far we are averaging every 3-4 days. It's hard to get everything in one fell swoop, only to get home and realize you forgot something important. Even with lists it's hard.
I live with my wife and my brother is staying with us for a while, I'm the one who is the most cognizant of sterile practices so I go to the store.
I wear an N95 mask, and bring disinfecting wipes. Wipe down the cart handle. Gather groceries, check out. Wipe card after use. Put groceries in car, wipe down cart handle again for next person. Sanitize hands, sanitize steering wheel, shift knob, ebrake. Drive home. Call wife or brother to come outside with clean trash bags. Take each item out of my car, wipe it down with sanitizing wipes, transfer to trash bags. Throw all grocery bags away. Spray down N95 mask, spray down interior of car. Remove shoes before entering house. Walk to washer, sanitize hands, open washer, remove clothing and put in washer. Sanitize washer controls and door. Take a shower. Wipe down all door handles, light switches, and high-touch surfaces. Spray shoes down outside, let them dry out before bringing them back in. Wash hands throughout process. Wipe down entryway floor and doorknobs and lightswitches again in case I forgot any.
Finally relax.

I read some new info that this is not how the virus transmits and that this work isn't necessary. Will try to find supporting citations

I also feel that is pushing it a bit
I wash my hands when I get back from shopping. Now there are nationwide rules on shopping and cleaning in order I dont even bother with the mask anymore

Yeah I go maskless. Gloveless. I'll use some sanitizer that I have in the car and then wash my hands when I get home. That's about it. It crossed my mind to wipe down the stuff I bought but I didn't.
