But it seems this may be a potential treatment although it's not a cure, the evidence is that it just reduces recovery time in some. I'm sure hyperbaric oxygen chambers would help too.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
aha! I see hyperbaric chambers were on the news in the last few days. Makes sense as they are used to treat those with carbon monoxide poisoning or the bends. The problem is that they are specialised kit and were once only available in the private sector.

Also, every navel force in the world, which have drivers, has hyperbaric chambers. Not that they would do much good for the public because there are darn few hyperbaric chambers and there are hundreds of thousand of sick.

The big jump in deaths in the UK is because they have added in Covid19 deaths from places other than hospitals (as mentioned previously). It takes the mortality rate in the UK to about 16% of known cases which is a pretty tragic statistic.

Navel? Drivers?
It always pays to check your typing!
Having said that, I have made such mistakes in the past too.

But I couldn't help imagining what a 'navel' force might look like. Men with exposed midriffs threatening their enemies with their bellybuttons?
Seriously, though, I'd put it down to sticky computer keys.
