Coronavirus disease outbreak - COVID-19 #7

What line of work are you in?

Believe it or not it's retail!

Yes I'm very concerned for my relatives over 70 that all like to go out and socialise. Boris did say he was trying to avoid this situation as he's aware it's not good for older people to be lonely. It sounds like they're going to start it in 20 days time. Four months seems such a long time to stay indoors the whole time.

It really does. I cant see her staying in, would we be allowed to visit is my question!
Luckily she's on Facebook and is pretty clued up on the laptop so she wouldn't be cut off, my grandad would just re paint the house a few times

Ah yep that wasn’t clear, sorry. I know what a Mooncup is. The original poster has nearly run out of sanitary products and can’t find any in the shops. I was suggesting a Mooncup to her. I’m sure she’ll google it if she’s unclear.

Ah sorry, I misread what you meant.

Made me laugh, I bet she wakes up everyday happy with her ex pm pension and out of all of this.

Love this! I bet when Teresa left she was thinking that Boris was going to get all the glory for 'delivering Brexit', and now we're facing the 2020 equivilent of the bloody plague and Boris has got the fight of his life on his hands. Not so much fun now eh Boris? And to add insult to injury he's coming home each day to a pregnant, hormonal wife and his own kids probably hate him.

If so many others weren't affected by it I'd be bloody delighted.

Just when I’d calmed myself down the school emails to say one of the teachers is self isolating now sitting here terrified my kids are going to get it

I did think about not sending them in but against my better judgement I did

To be fair hasn’t it always been two packets of paracetamol?

I just looked it up and supermarkets can sell up to 100 tablets but in packs of 16, which these were. So they were definitely limiting them.

 

[Mustard]

The law on paracetamol sales changed in 1998

That relates to packet sizes only.

Anyone else doing driving lessons? I really want to cancel obviously being in an enclosed space with someone for the amount of time but I feel terrible as that's her only source of income.

Maybe ring her and ask what if any precautions she is taking.

How eerie seeing Times Square in New York so empty

Everywhere going to be quiet though because they’ve all been told to social distance themselves, it’s seems strange but for the time being it’s going to be the new norm unfortunately

When they say fever, have they specified a specific temp?

37.8 or higher I believe. Check on NHS111

 

[Larkingaboot]

At the moment the advice is other people in the house carry on as normal as long as they don’t have symptoms. That’s the current guidelines.

That isn’t correct, they should be self isolating

I’ve been been in a meeting at work all morning has the Government updated this morning

My baby is due his jabs next month - what happens if the GP’s close?

Just a bit of advice to anyone that does online food shopping. I’ve booked a slot for next Friday with Morrison’s. I usually do this any time between Monday and Wednesday as they are my none working days so just when I “get stuff done”. Checked earlier out of interest and ALL of Friday is now booked up. There are others available throughout the week, not a lot though.

It’s a risk whether we’ll get everything, but got one Friday just gone and only two (decent) subs so pretty decent.

Ive had underactive thyroid since 96 and never knew that. Its a shame we dont know enough about our body issues

Glad it's not just me

Imagine though in the UK they arent testing the community locally and they have the feicin schools open! Boris should keep his mouth shut moron
