I'm watching the news and it says there's going to be no mass testing, don't call tour doctor just stay home. But if people are on ventilators because of it how is that handled at home? Obviously the GP is busy but to not even phone. I don't get it
Im pleased to say I didnt vote for this joke of a goverment!
It makes me wonder if everyone who was super proud they did are still as proud now.
Thank the lord, my husbands been granted to work from home indefinitely. He has 1 meeting tomorrow then he can work from home as his boss said he’s sending anyone home who has partners or children with health issues.
I would like the media to focus more on Germany and what they’re doing right here. It would help people rationalise / stop so much of the panic buying at the least I think.
Of course he’s not concerned he probably has his own hospital suite, drs to tend to his every need!
Italy is the first country it broke out in europe, so most places are 1-2 weeks behind them and expect to see the same development.
I think the thought process is that most can self manage symptoms at home. There’s just not capacity or even need to test everyone. Respiratory illnesses should just be treated as covid 19 and isolated at home unless proven otherwise. If someone is ill enough to need respiratory support they’ll go to hospital and then get the official test.
My auntie is
Just had a look at the corona thing on the nhs website. It has now changed the questionnaire and checklist thingy. If you have a temperature and can’t do your regular activities then it advises you to phone 111.
Good for your husband
I don't understand these companies though that acted like WFH was never a possibilities, external webinars were too expensive, etc etc....now they going HAM on these things
I feel like they didn't give enough tangible advice for overlooked, mundane aspects of everyday like - i.e. should people go to the gym? prescriptions? are there any foods people could implement to better their immune systems? (not everyone knows that mushrooms, for example, are quite good at this) should people really be going to pubs if alcohol suppresses immune systems? (I would say drinking alcohol in general...but Boris kindly reassured us that, alas, people are dying but the pubs are open!!) what mental health/well-being resources/self-help acts can people do to keep calm during this distressing time? I could write a book
Deliveroo is coming through - we can still have take aways with no contact. The future is now 
this is the dream for my socially awkward self!

Has anyone got a link to the google drive document that shows cases per day? I found it useful for tracking the % rise. It was made by someone on Twitter.
It's a bit difficult due to the federal system.. But football matches behind closed doors, no concerts or other events with more than 1000 participants in most parts of Germany (in some region also 500 or less... But in some regions no restrictions yet), in Berlin they will close state museums, theatres and libraries from tomorrow onwards... Universities in Berlin have also cancelled all events / conferences and the semester will start a week later. If somebody is infected the local health authorities track down all contact persons and also put them in quarantine. That's about it so far. School closures only if there have been cases.
Yes BoJo and his chums are glad we can develop herd immunity when they're safe behind their gated million pound homes and don't have to mingle with everyone else.
TBH I thought Boris looked a bit dispondant in that news conference...But great to see George Alagiah back..
The big push is on helping the elderly and vulnerable - who is protect them? Healthy people like myself?
I work in a massive open plan office. How am I supposed to help my elderly Nan with compromised health without putting her at risk. Who is supposed to help her?
to protect the vulnerable means that those doing the caring need to be the targeted group and that simply isn’t the case!
