True - the most reliable analyses will come later, possibly not until not only this first wave but the second/third waves are past. We have no real idea of how many are infected etc.

At present I simply know that friends & acquaintances who work in medical/medical related areas are taking this extremely seriously and have been for some time before the general population. One thing about living with a major hospital and various research centres locally is the number of people working in relevant fields. It's both scary and reassuring!

Please take as much care as you can. A family in my street, where one parent is a research virologist, are currently in a self-imposed self-isolating period, not because any of them are showing symptoms but because they wish to short circuit any risk of their school age children being transmitters.
