Sorry to hear he's so ill. Hope you all take care and stay wellSorry Jane, I was being sarcastic.
I know with certainty if he gets this it will kill him. He nearly died a year ago from “ordinary” pneumonia.
I’m just surprised he isn’t classed as extremely vulnerable.
He only leaves the house to go to dialysis 3 times a week so is self isolating as best he can.
I guess if slightly high is above the 38.5 Possible self isolation. , there is guidance on gov about coming out of self isolation. Ask an expert or read gov advice if you haven’t people here can’t make decisions or offer advice on self isolation .Tattle peeps - what’s the deal if children are showing signs? My 10 yo has been under the weather all day and his temperature is slightly high. We’ll go into 14 self isolation (I’ve already been home for 2 weeks) but do I need to call 111 due to his age? Thanks from a worried Mum xxx
I called 111 when my daughter did but it was before they gave the advice not to, I think.Tattle peeps - what’s the deal if children are showing signs?

I thought high was classed as 37.8 or above or am I mistaken?I guess if slightly high is above the 38.5 Possible self isolation. , there is guidance on gov about coming out of self isolation.

Thanks. It’s only this afternoon it’s gone up and Paracetamol is help He’s eating and says his throat is now sore but no other symptoms. I few kids have been unwell at his school with similar so I’m keeping my fingers crossed it’s just a childhood illness.I guess if slightly high is above the 38.5 yes self isolate, there is guidance on gov about coming out of self isolation
37.7 and he’s warm to the touch. Feeling bad as I went out earlier to top up what was missing in my shopping deliveryI thought high was classed as 37.8 or above or am I mistaken?
No answers I'm afraid but I feel exactly the sameI’m just getting really confused with the social distancing/isolation thing. If someone falls into the vulnerable category, but not severely vulnerable, it says to work from home where possible. If that’s not possible, do they go into work?
Great idea! I always make our own bread because shop stuff boats us out, but have been struggling to find any bread flour and yeast!! I even having a go at a sour dough starter in the airing cupboard! But of course that also needs strong flour... I wonder if self-raising will be gone too?! Off to check. Thanks for the tip lovelyI've just watched a Russian (!) video on YouTube about how to make bread muffins using self raising flour and greek yoghurt. Just in case.....y'know,
If his symptoms become unmanageable with paracetamol or he starts getting shortness of breath then give them a ring.37.7 and he’s warm to the touch. Feeling bad as I went out earlier to top up what was missing in my shopping deliveryAt the time he wasn’t causing concern, he was how he is when he’s not had enough sleep.
I stand corrected. I hope he does get the letter and he sounds like he has shit, uncaring bosses!My husband is 31 he has severe COPD (according to his FEV1 and stage of damage) he works in an office job takes medication daily and generally manages his condition well... Which Is why his bosses don't believe him when he says it's serious. I'm hoping he gets a letter in the next few days
This is the list that should be particularly stringent in following social distancing. It doesn't mean they can't leave their house to go for a walk or to the shop.There is a list in the gov.uk website.
This is the ppl are risk (not including severe risk cases)

When they mentioned the extremely vulnerable at the Scottish Press Conference they said people with cancer and on dialysis?Sorry Jane, I was being sarcastic.

These companies need naming and shaming, they are a disgrace!As much as I have commended BJ for everything he has done so far, he really needs to set down clearer guidance on his staysafestayhome hashtag. There are many companies out there, including my own employer, that are making employees go into the office to work when it can easily be done from home. My employer has said that only those displaying symptoms, who live with/are a vulnerable person or childcare issues can work from home, everyone else must continue to work from the office. There has been no guidance set to staff about using your own cups/cutlery, distancing in the kitchen whilst eating lunch and desk space hasn't been distanced. These companies are taking advantage of the fact that the Gov have not enforced a lockdown and I think its disgusting. The guidance clearly states work from home where possible yet companies are not doing this.
Listening to him he sounds like he has tonsillitis (I was plagued as kid to the point I had it monthly and they removed them) and they’re certainly larger than normal having just checked but no spots. He’s eating and drinking and absolutely no issues with breathing or cough. He’s very rarely ill, only ever had 1 sickness bug and even then didn’t vomit. Usually I don’t worry but now I amIf his symptoms become unmanageable with paracetamol or he starts getting shortness of breath then give them a ring.
Until then just manage it as you would if you didn't know about the virus, it likely just a regular virus hes picked up.
Don't give him ibuprofen and get plenty of fluids into him.
I'm sure hell be fine but I know it's so worrying
