infections in people I actually know. My son (uni), my bosses son (uni), a mate's son (secondary), chap from work.....during the first wave I was only hearing of friends of friends type thing. I'm not a super spreader BTW - I've had no contact with any of the aforementioned! Anyone similar? Guess the school/uni thing is a real factor. |  |

Same, I think because there's a lot more testing now so more cases are being diagnosed. Track and trace still no where near where it needs to be but shows why it's important. |  | | |

There was nowhere near as much testing during the first wave so the non-hospitalised cases were almost completely ignored, let alone those with no or very mild symptoms. |  |

Ftnf junior going for a test tonight with 3 other house mates (he's at Uni of Nottingham). 2 others in his house have just had tests - one of which is positive and in isolation. |  | | |

Quite. Perfectly feasible its more widespread now than it ever was in April time. My wife has had it, I know loads of people that have had positive tests or positive antibody tests. |  |

Good points re the testing. Hadn't thought that one through. | |

I've seen estimates that true case numbers for March / April were actually 10-20 times higher than being reported back then. Also with c80% of cases asymptomatic, clearly it's much more widely spread now in the population than being reported. |  | | |

Youngest Oozami is at Nottingham Trent - she went back last weekend and already she knows of at least five people (housemates, tutors, course colleagues) who've tested positive this week.... |  |

Being in a school: kids in every year group and a few staff. Plus their family members.
My neighbour had it and celebrated by throwing a massive party (I am still agog given she was old etc.) Maybe it was being in a school, but I've known people with it right through I think.
Never really got the denial beyond fear and it hurting mate's livelihoods. The evidence was pretty clear, the government not. |  |

Much easier to get tests at uni as well. Most if not all of the positives seem to be asymptomatic as well | | | |

My lad is at NTU as well (Clifton). Seems most of his halls are isolating with confirmed/suspected Covid. | |

i was still living in London when it kicked off and I'm sure loads of people had it back in December/January (Myself included).
I could be one of the the original Ipswich super spreaders if I did have it, no one knew what it was back then and powered on, including going to Football :S
I had a chest x ray in January due to a cough that had lasted weeks which found nothing, then one day it just cleared up. BUT looking back now I had other symptoms, including the post-fatigue. I was whinging a lot at the start of the year I was much more tired than I'd ever felt since I started working 9-5. |  |

Certainly more people I know this time round, but most with positive test have very mild symptoms. |  | | |

Kind of depends on who you know doesn't it. Most infections this time round are in young people who are catching covid whilst out and about.
Last time round it was old and vulnerable people catching it whilst sitting in care homes or lying horizontal in hospitals.
Given that probably 80% of cases are asymptommatic at the moment, you probably know a lot more people who have had it, or have it than you think | |

Going completely off topic, why are the E and R in your username capitalised but not the i and t? |  |

Because that's the way I typed it - the theory being
