So it’s a jump of two? But if the tests are so strict as to who can do it’s hardly accurate is it. I’m sat here with a cold panicking!!!

it was 319 yesterday, so a jump of 54

Thank you so much.

I remember swine flu well, it was on the news a lot but I don’t recall panic buying, all the talk of death as the sheer panic. Times were easier back then, my kids were little and I could keep them safe at home.

I’m not sure at all why swine flu wasn’t as frighting as this? Was it not as contagious?

Beauty UK show that is taking place in MAY has now been postponed... Thought this would all be over by then?! (sorry about beauty updates, it is my line of work)

Do you think it’s just a precaution? I thought it would be over by then also

Like others have said we can’t compare two countries. China -highly highly populated and live so close together.
Italy has high number of elderly

Will Boris self isolate? He was at an event 4 days ago with Nadine Dorries...

Carrie is pregnant
"If you are pregnant you are more vulnerable to getting infections than a woman who is not pregnant. If you have an underlying heart or lung condition, such as asthma, you may be more unwell if you have coronavirus.

Some babies born to women with symptoms of coronavirus in China have been born prematurely. It is unclear whether coronavirus caused this or the doctors made the decision for the baby to be born early because the woman was unwell. As we learn about the risk of pre-term birth and coronavirus infection, we will update this information"

So they are going from 1,500 to 10,000 people they are testing a day ? Are they going to change the criteria

Hopefully. I doubt that many people have knowingly come into contact..

The aintree surgeon is a cancer surgeon honestly can't believe someone so high up and educated would be so stupid to potential endanger hundreds of already very vulnerable people

I'm sure being a top surgeon he wouldn't of gone to work if he wasn't well (with any illness) or against government advice. If he had surely staff or his boss would sent him home?
Advice at the time was no need to isolate if you have no symptoms. I think it should of been that everyone even without symptoms should of self isolated to be honest.

Re the hand sanitisers I posted a link a few pages back- which were still in stock just more ££ from a french company.

Merci Handy.

(Don't work for them, saw it on another site and I bought for my sister as soon as I could.)

Just seen that Sainsbury’s have no online delivery slots until the end of March in my area (zone 2 in London). Other than a couple on Sunday. Tesco do - I wonder if Sainsbury’s have taken them offline for some reason.

I thought it was, because according to stats over 200k died globally from swine flu. Over 400 of those were in the UK.

With regards to swine flu how can you know it effected more people as we are only a few weeks into this so no one can have any idea what the final numbers of people who catch it/ die etc will be. From what I am reading this will be an issue for months ! And if they use to severe measures it will create a second wave in the autumn

 

[Mabellovestea]

Try your local chemist, my daughter has a uti and inhad to go pick up her prescription today- they had plenty of calpol etc on the shelf

Thank you.

 

[Vickisuder]

where are you getting your updates from Please, i can’t find this kind of info anywhere

On sky news, but again elderly with many significant underlying health problems!

 

[Upintheair83]

How accurate is that map now? I read there is about 24 cases in Devon & Cornwall now but I fail to see them on there

I didn’t know there were cases in Cornwall

We have to get the kids to do it 6 times per day on top of after toilet trips and sneezes etc. Feel like all I’m doing is sending them to wash their hands

Do they actually wash their hands with soap? I've a feeling they just antibac at ours!
