      And how many CUK members has she been in "contact" with over the last few days?

        Did you know there are < 130,000 hospital beds in the UK?
        Of those, just over 4,000 are ICU or HDU.
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          I would advise most of the forum members to get tested, just to be safe

            Yup, UK ICU capacity (NHS statistical data from Jan 2020):

            There were 4,123 adult critical care beds open and 3,423 occupied, giving an
            occupancy rate of 83.0%. This is higher than the occupancy rate observed last month, which was
            75.3%, and lower than in January 2019 (85.3%).

            ~700 ICU beds in total, that is below 10% of what Italy is on now

              I am reliably informed that there are intensive care beds outside England.

                Excellent. Will that be enough to cover everyone you think is likely to catch CV-19?

                  Do you think we should get a covid-19 test while we're at it?

                      Why?

                      Maybe when you stop repeating lies you make up, you'll find people will treat you more like a human being, and less like something they trod in.
