Is the test different in the UK? Here it is a big cotton swab up the back of the nose?

Cotton swab is to see if you have it, the blood test referred to is one which they hope to have ready sometime soon and if will test whether you have antibodies (ie whether you’ve previously had the virus) x

I know there are a few asthmatics on here.
I don’t think this has been posted before but it’s certainly worth knowing.

Just found this online....
We have been made aware of some inaccurate information circulating regarding special ‘rescue packs’ for patients with pre-existing respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Please do not contact your GP practice for a rescue pack. You should continue to manage your condition in the usual way and if you feel you have symptoms of COVID-19, go to https://111.nhs.uk/covid-19 before doing anything else

If you really ask questions like “should I go here”
Or “should I do this etc” then you probably shouldn’t be doing it, no one here has the answers & don’t expect anyone to advise you. The same information is all out there for us.

My friend posted it and she used to work in the surgery pharmacy and says it’s true. Good luck.

I think some of them just have accepted if I die I die. "When it's my time it's my time" or "God plans when we enter this world and when leave" for some it gives comfort to believe that their life has been planned. It's sad but even I as a young person it crosses my mind I just don't care about my life anymore. (I know you still have to be careful for others though)

My friend worked at the pharmacy and says they gave them out which is why I felt confident in posting it.
Perhaps they are being inundated, I don’t know.

From what the Scottish Government is saying at least, it means those with underlying health conditions as well, not just the elderly.

I noticed Supermarket checkout staff are now wearing gloves when they scan your shopping so I presume they do the same on an online shop?

I would. Its difficult to remember to do all the time, but just a wipe with a paper towel that has some diluted bleach on it helps. New paper towel for each item, obvs.

Excuse me if I’m ignorant but what does a coronavirus have to do with how humans have been using the world’s resources? Celebrities chat utter rubbish sometimes.

Idris Elba: coronavirus is world's response to 'damage' by humans
Idris Elba has suggested the coronavirus pandemic is the planet's response to being "damaged" by humanity.
Elba revealed he had tested positive for the virus on Tuesday and has since been in self-isolation with his wife Sabrina Dhowre.
In a video interview with Oprah Winfrey, he said it is "really obvious" to him that the outbreak is the world crying out.
Dhowre also confirmed she had tested positive for the virus.
Elba said: "One of the upsides of this whole drama is that we are forced to think together as a race.
"Our world has been taking a kicking. We have damaged our world and it's no surprise that our world is reacting to the human race.
"It is no surprise that a virus has been created that is going to slow us down, and ultimately make us think differently about our world and ourselves."
