Just had a video call with him. Hasn’t got out of bed for the last 4 days but thankfully he’s just started to see an improvement. He sounds like shit and is coughing the whole time. Again, says it’s worse by far than anything he’s ever had. 111 says he probably has a mild case given his description!

Just before he left Italy he waited on the plane for 4 hours whilst they were waiting to fill up the plane. He feels it was during this time he got infected and he was wearing a mask the whole time.

Should also say that he obviously won’t be in any official (publicly released) figures.

Glad to hear he is improving.

Most masks (available to general public) are pretty useless sadly and even if not, if the eyes are not covered you can still get the virus anyway

Reading a few posts (not taking them as gospel obv) but it seems you basically need to be nearly dead to even get to see a Doctor or get admitted to Hospital.

It affects fish. 3 skate players have got it.

Hopefully they will blow up the bridges on M275 and Eastern Rd and let it drift out to sea.

Our stash of Hydroxychloroquine in ready at the bedside cabinet.

The supermarket beer aisles have been absolutely fucking raped. The one consolation for my enforced zero-alcohol regime was that I assumed I’d be ok for becks blue, but even that’s been stripped from the shelves.

Cunts.

So having accepted I am going to get it what is the likelihood of the degree of severity

Assymptomatic
Mild flu like symptoms
Bletch’s in law standard
Hospital
Icu
Death

My bird saw her doctor on Monday. It wasn’t an urgent issue, she had phoned for an appointment the previous Thursday. Saw him as arranged, he booked her in for an ecg to be on the safe side, (which turned out clear,) that was done on the Wednesday, and a blood test which was taken yesterday. The surgery was quiet when I took her, but there was no suggestion I noticed that asked people not to come, apart from the obvious “if you have the following symptoms
” stuff. No idea how typical that is among other surgeries, but it’s a practice covering quite a large area and a lot of people.

Are we betting money on this? :thinking: :smile:

Mild flu symptons.

My supermarket had more stuff - veg, fruit and even some meat - than I have seen for two weeks. Maybe supply catching up with demand? Or some muppets have died?

So not satisfied with filling whatever copboards you have at home, someone I know in the white goods business has been shifting 20 chest freezers a day

So it occurred to me that the retail shops are still open and I hate shopping in crowds :thinking:

George Eustice (Env, Food and Rural Affairs) giving the briefing today. Just been asked if we’re going to have a problem during the summer and autumn harvest in encouraging foreign seasonal workers to come here to work in our farms. LOL.

Question about help for the self-employed. Dodged. Under review.

The government is obviously keen to take control over panic buying because they’ve URGED us not to buy more than we need, told us we should be ASHAMED and PLEADED with us to be considerate. Glad that’s fixed.

And if it would be so easy to fix, why are they not doing it - especially as now the restaurants are closed we will lean of the raw food chain more?

Also, new health advice (from a consultant but not the government yet) that people that have suddenly lost their sense of taste and smell should self-isolate. The suggestion is that this might mean they are asymptomatic carriers.

Where’s Boris Shouldhaveactedsooner? Taking the weekend off? Just like those skiving hospital workers.
