I receive a weekly e-mail from the Daily Telegraph because I subscribe to the crossword puzzles and the latest one talks of a new game sent in by another subscriber. It is called Take Two' and is a fast version of scrabble. It sounds like something I would love to play if I still could.

That is bad news indeed. I wonder how his children have fared if they have not had the regular childhood vaccinations.

I think you quoted the wrong post! Did you mean the one about Djocovic?

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

No problem, I assumed that is what happened. O don't know if Djokovic is anti vax in principle,or whether it s just against the proposed compulsory vaccination here.

The figures for overall deaths show the impact of the virus far more clearly than the daily death figures

If by some remote and extremely unlikely chance, I was infected by the virus by someone coming into the house to mend something, how long does it take for the symptoms to show? I tried the website but I can't negotiate it.

The incubation period (the time before symptoms begin to show) varies between 1 and 14 days, with an average of about 5 days. However, it is possible be asymptomatic so someone could have covid and recover without noticing any symptoms.

Coronavirus infects the lungs. The two main symptoms are a fever or a dry cough, which can sometimes lead to breathing problems.
The cough to look out for is a new, continuous cough. This means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or having three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours. If you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual.
You have a fever if your temperature is above 37.8C. This can make you feel warm, cold or shivery.
A sore throat, headache and diarrhoea have also been reported and a loss of smell and taste may also be a symptom.
It takes five days on average to start showing the symptoms, but some people will get them much later. The World Health Organization (WHO) says the incubation period lasts up to 14 days.

Thank you, LR. I knew the symptoms, but couldn't remember the info about the 7 or 14 days. I'm not listening to the news any more.

I wouldn't b able to take my temperature even if I thought I had one!

Been recently reading here and there that this virus can present even more symptoms than previously expected. The virus sometimes concentrates in a different place like the brain (the worst one, which causes a rapid degeneration of brain function), the heart and vascular system, the kidneys.  Yesterday, I read that dermatologists are seeing an increase in a frost-bite kind of condition in mainly children that is another manifestation of COVID-19. Governor Cuomo of NY is so right when he calls this virus "The Beast."

Scary estimate by FT of 41 000 deaths in UK, many outside hospital.   Let's hope this is inaccurate.
