Coronavirus - FutureLearn course

It's here...it's not going away any time soon and we all have to just take a bit more care of ourselves when out in public...wear gloves, use the hand sanitiser in public buildings when it's available, but soap and water has been around for much longer and it does the job!
My uncle would say..."I survived two world wars and i'm still here, I'll take my chance" 
Take Care everyone, lock up your loo rolls and don't panic and if you are unlucky enough to have to self isolate, there is always Rootschat

My sons a nurse and they are having to lock masks away because they're being stolen, likewise hand sanitiser from the end of beds which is being 'nicked' by patients families. Daughter works in a different hospital and the hand sanitiser is being taken from there too. Words fail me.

The same is happening in my local hospital, they are actually ripping them out of the walls, disgusting in my opinion

This is certainly bringing out the worst in people - the stockpiling which isn't necessary and is leaving those who are vulnerable without things. People going to A&E or the doctors with symptoms rather than calling for advice as we are told to, which then means that place has to be deep cleaned and now stealing from places where there are people who are already sick.

Stay calm, and keep on keeping on !


Stealing stuff from a hospital is just appalling; the people who do it, should be barred from using the hospital if and when they get the bug.

The most difficult part of the advice is not to touch your face. It's very good advice, I'm sure.

In practice it's an almost impossible task. Itches need to be scratched, moustaches need twiddling (for us chaps), beards sometimes need stroking (whilst in contemplation), ears get itchy at times, and eyes can sometimes need a rub.

Wear your gloves in public places
