I don't understand why the NHS aren't offering people that are vulnerable the pneumonia vaccine. It may help the virus not do as much damage to the lungs as its may be a bit of protection. I don't know, I'm in no way medically trained.

Highland council (northern Scotland) has banned al gatherings of 100 and more.
We have 1 case of coronavirus announced today.
Edit to say - not sure if this as officially been announced yet though?

why would it not be ok to get take away?? Just curious?We quite often get takeaway on a Saturday night - not sure if it’s ok to do still or best not to#firstworldproblems dying for a dominos
Because some people are scared of catching the virus/the risks.
CZ has 150 cases as of today.
We will also be closing all shopping centers and shops minus food +pharmacies for 10 days.

In Canada, our provincial government are doing daily press conferences.
Ah I feel if I'm gonna get it, I am. Could be from the takeaway driver, could be from my husband, could be from my mother. If I want a takeaway I will still have it.... For now anyways.
David & Sally Abel a married couple in their 70''s who were in hospital in Japan after testing positive from the Princess Cruise ship are now healthy and home in the UK! So happy for them xx
Crap editing on my part!
I think if there is a death of a famous name from it people might start to believe the hype.
my partner is STILL comparing it to seasonal flu and talking about taking our daughter to see her COPD,ill grandad tomorrow. I just don’t know what will make him see that she could be a carrier (she’s been “off it” for about a week with a temperature that comes and goes) and his dad will struggle to survive viral pneumonia. His dad is the same about it though
Didn’t Khan HAVE to cancel because everyone pulled out though? I’m sure I heard that on LBC
I’m abit conflicted, as I’m still having to go to work and face around 100 members of the public a day. So I figure if I’m having to do that it’s prob safe to still be getting takeaways and pop to the shops ect.
It's really very simple, the vaccine is only effective against pneumococcal infections caused by a bacteria called Streptococcus Pneumoniae. Coronavirus is a virus and this vaccine will have NO effect against a virus.
Just updated I guess BBC so accurate
UK 21 deaths so far.

Coronavirus: UK deaths double in 24 hours
Ten more people have died after testing positive for the virus, NHS England says.

I don't work as it is because of my mental health and this sort of thing in a big factor in it. I'm terrified of germs and have obsessive thoughts about them to the point it effects my life anyways. I don't like going into shops on a good day never mind doing an emergency run for loved ones. The only saving grace in all this is that I was rather prepared on the cleaning/sanitising/soap side of thing
My husband was given the pneumonia vaccine this year when he had his flu jab. He is in an “at risk” group so I’ve no idea if everyone who had the flu jab for free also had the pneumonia one.
I'm very quickly losing hope for my holiday to Portugal in April
At the moment there is absolutely nothing that can be done to prevent us from getting ill from the Coronavirus. We've just got to stay as healthy as possible and avoid catching the bloody thing as best we can. I believe that a vaccine is being worked on but that would only work to make us immune in future cases, not to make us better from it once we have it. As I said earlier the pneumonia vaccine can only protect us from bacterial infections and not viral infections which the Coronavirus is.
same here, we’re due to go to the US in May
It’s scary for people who do have medical conditions that may need some of these things that are in short supply such as pain.
I suffer from chronic IBS and this shortage of toilet roll is giving me such bad anxiety which is making my IBS worse. I’m lucky that I always keep quite a big supply anyway but some people may not be so fortunate.
I've not read all the threads so I apologise if this has been answered somewhere.
The US have now announced that from Monday, no flights from the UK and Ireland can enter the states.
Have the UK banned incoming flights or restricted them or are we open for business as usual?
And from the Facebook pages for our local primary schools, closing schools is a bad idea. They are all planning days out, sleepovers, and extended UK holidays with each other.
At least if schools are open, the children and families are contained to one place and not spreading further out because they are seeing it as time off to explore the area and country!
