Active cases of coronavirus COVID-19 in Canary Islands

[Captain Sensible]

219 active cases today following 21 recoveries and 30 new cases. No-one is in hospital.

I'd like to know how the figure is growing and how ill people are when they get it.

I'd like to know how the figure is growing and how ill people are when they get it.

From what I learnt in the past 18 months ...
When someone who's infected sneezes, coughs, shouts, sings or laughs right in front of your open mouth, and you catch it, you'll be more sick as opposed to when you undergo the same from a safe distance.
When someone who's infected sneezes, coughs, shouts, sings or laughs right in front of your open mouth, and you catch it, you'll be more sick as opposed to when you undergo the same with a facial mask on.
The fewer number of Corona particles entering your respiratory system, the fewer symptoms you will develop, and the less severe your sickness will be.
Kissing your friends and shaking hands is not wise either. That hand or finger goes inside your mouth and nose multiple times a day.
One more thing ... Asymptomatic super spreaders are usually very social people who like to talk loudly, share a joke, laugh, etc ... They are the nicest people around you. That's what's happening

Thanks for contributing Toska. Please can you provide links to the sources of this info - they are interesting ideas but not something I've come across to date.

Perhaps NHS, WHO links etc?

This is true of the flu and of SARS, but may not be true of COVID. It may be a while before they can say with certainty; I couldn't find anything more recent, and this article is a year old. 

Either way, I'd recommend reducing your exposure where you can!

The press seem to think that Tenerife will go up to Level 4 on Thursday and Fuerteventura to Level 3 given the continuing rise in cases.
