Corona Virus Concerns

mickey, you need to stop beating about the bush and say what you think!
Burying your head may assist with the virus but could lead to other problems, we awill always need to protect ourselves against the actions of others and if these people are 'socially inept' naming and shaming would probably have no effect.

Yes, why should the few influence anything the majority wish to achieve or how we live our lives.
But that's been happening for years Micky. Why do you think we have locks on the doors? Because of the minority of louts that wish to take our goods or do us harm. The majority have no intention of being dishonest.
Taken further, the majority of voters don't vote for the incumbent party, regardless of which colour it is.
If you really feel so strongly about it then write or speak to your MP.
At the end of the day you have to get people working again otherwise we'll be in a bigger mess. In the meantime do as Rocky and others like myself have said and look after yourself. Take all the precautions you can without becoming a hermit.

Yes but KS is bright enough to understand and look at the information behind the statistics, knowing that things are in fact a lot worse😁

A&J might be in the shielding group. If so all the easing announced makes sod all difference because it’s still too high a risk to leave the home to do anything.
Advice for those who are likely to have a very severe reaction to C19 is actually to not even go outside! Some underlying conditions would mean a greater risk of being severely ill, and not being able to survive the invasive procedures that would need to be applied to try and save life.
I don’t think some of the procedures that are being used are fully understood by a lot of folks. It can involve an induced coma, this is carried out so that a respirator is inserted deeply into your wind pipe. Painful, heart attack inducing, even folks without underlying conditions are not always surviving. Prevention in this instance is very much because the cure might kill you.
Its called intubation.

Hi Pliers, thanks for point out-its a simple error and should just be 'what others do'.

Government ministers from all quarters ( particularly Health Ministers in Wales & Scotland) have really helped the situation by flouting their own rules. You could not make it up what stupid things they have done. Leadership-They dont know the meaning of the word.

its a good job theres plenty of 'clever old us' about.....especially on this forum
many of the posts point out how 'dumb/stupid' others are...
some posts tell us how 'clever/smart' the poster is...
some posts even combine 'dumb/stupid others' with 'clever/smart me' in the same post.

That's life BB, one man's positive is another's negative. What some are happy about, others are unhappy. What some are enthusiastic about others poor cold water over. What some 'visitors' want, the locals don't and visa versa. I understand what a difficult conundrum we all face and how true and sensible common sense in the interests of all hopefully will prevail, difficult though that is! Keep smiling but keep alert!

Ditto...Three people locally (me included) suffered a respitory virus in late January....one of the three, a male nurse was sent home after becoming 'sniffly' three weeks ago to self isolate and be tested. Turns out he has had the Corvid-19 virus although now ok..... Will be interesting to see if we had the virus then....when these tests become available.
Interestingly non of the three partners suffered any ill effects...

Wouldn’t that then automatically exclude Covid-19?🤔

Interesting development and let us hope this is a positive one. My sister, in Scotland, had a very bad chesty cough for most of January and now wonders if she had it. WHO think this virus will never go away so it seems we have to learn to live with it (and the inconsiderate few) look after ourselves and be sensible. Not sure where that leaves places like Cornwall and Wales who don’t want visitors!?? I would love to go back to Cornwall.

(Roche has developed it.) I've been reading about it on the BBC web site.
