Coronavirus Disease Outbreak COVID-19 #12

[Argento]

Have you got a link for this please?

Why have so many coronavirus patients died in Italy?

The country's high death toll is due to an ageing population, overstretched health system and the way fatalities are reported

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

My son was meant to have his first haircut this week. I cancelled it myself but the salon closed.
Going to attempt it myself at some point...

He can’t see right now

Ponytail!

I'm going in circles on the internet trying to find info - my sons partner who is asthmatic is self isolating with her 22 month old daughter. My son has been working away and is due home at any moment. Does he need to self isolate with her or can he continue to work? He has no medical problems and is well under 70.

Is she self isolating as she has coronavirus symptoms? Has he been working abroad?

superdrug have some online for click and collect if you have a store nearby

Try the smaller shops. My little Londis had loads the other day

 

[Dear Reader]

Supermarkets will be open and so will pharmacies.

Thank you!

I’d say he’s vulnerable - don’t need a list to tell you that - chronic heart disease is on

Its not on the extremely vulnerable list?

She has no symptoms and no hes been working about 50 miles away.

I’m glad I’ve bought a little bit of happiness to someone in this darkness!

I was meant to be seeing Trixie Mattel in May

Mine text to cancel my next appointment yesterday, I told her I would be the first one through the door when this is all over. Gods knows I’ll need it



I really hope this is true. I have an appointment with my asthma nurse tomorrow (no idea if it will still be in person or over the phone) but I will ask her about this and let you all know.

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

I work in a fairly large building with various different companies (office based) and the building remains open. We've been told to remain coming into the office unless we live with someone vulnerable or develop symptoms ourselves. My job can be done from home, do you think I should refuse to go in?

my oh is in a very similar situation. Big office building a few thousand work there from diff companies. He Is working from home. But his 3 managers went in end of last week, like they are trying to prove some kind of point. He’s had phone calls from other staff members who are staying at home. They are perfectly able to work from home, and they are all putting in extra hours with no overtime pay to help keep the company going.

I'm sorry if this is a bit TMI... however, I wish people would stop panic buying. I'm really concerned about where I'm going to buy pads. Can't find any anywhere & everywhere is sold out...

This is my worry after the baby is born! I bought enough for a couple of weeks thinking oh by then I’ll be able to get out and about and it’s only just occurred to me now I’m going to need more

 

[Guyyyyyzzzzzz]

5 o’clock

It was 16:10 though I wonder what’s just changed?

 

[Bailey496]

Honestly, we need a lockdown like Italy and Spain. Urgently! People just aren't listening it seems! So frustrating

I'm afraid you are not listening.

I use these at the start of my period. Helped a lot this month.

if You’re still struggling, I can send you some!

I dont think that is the final number i think it will just be scotland and wales maybe

Yes your right final number is 48 which seems more on track. Will delete initial post.

244 deaths now, up by 11

 

[Argento]

You're right about the air pollution in that region of Italy, but Spain's figures are on track to be similar and they dont have the same hotbeds of pollution so there's more at play.

We don't know yet but with how people are still mixing when Italy shut down areas when they had less fatalities than we do now, we sure are different.

We only have 2% less people over 70 in the UK compared to Italy.

Seeing as our hospitals are less equipped than northern Italian ones I don't share your optimism. But we'll soon know

There is also some debate about the recording of deaths from Italy. There is some suggestion that every death in hospitals is being recorded as a coronavirus death.
