State of Emergency Covid-19 (Part 5)

[pharmaT]

My daughter's friend has juts come to the door to see if she's coming out to play.  I swear that will well and truly be what pushes my sanity over the edge.  When we do end up with full enforced locked down I know who I'm going to blame, all those who are completely and utterly incapable of following basic advice.

Well then, I have just heard that several members of my regular singing group have been confirmed as having, or having had, the virus. It will be a fortnight on Tuesday since we last met but I'm not sure how long I have to wait before saying that I am "safe" from that particular source.

Also, without any other symptoms, I have had this for the last four days..

There is no way I will be tested on this basis but how do I know if I have had it?

So much for social distancing.....

Have you seen the pictures of the crowds that have flocked to Bournemouth, Brighton, Skegness and probably many, many more.............

I expect they were having a good day out after stripping the shelves bare in their local supermarkets

Raised temp and/or new persistent dry cough - mildly

Deaths up another 47 to 281 - over 5700 cases reported but probably many more.....................

Neither of those things, though I do have a permanent persistent cough, so I could have missed that aspect of it. I usually know when "my" cough changes to something which could be infection related but not always. About a week ago, I felt just a tiny bit feverish but it was minimal and I decided that I was just being paranoid.

I despair!

Do they think its a holiday? Are they really all so damned ignorant that they don't think it will happen to them?

I suspect all this reporting of deaths of the elderly with underlying health problems has lulled them into a false sense of security that indeed it won't happen to them.

Scrolling down Sandra's link, I see The Morons are still stripping supermarket shelves as soon as they're filled and totally ignoring avoiding the hour laid aside for NHS staff.

Before all this, I hadn't realised what a nasty set of pillocks Brits have become (sorry - perhaps its different in Wales and Scotland?). Speaking in general, of course.

You can't know for sure if you've had it without testing.  The mild version is like so many other infections in terms of the way you feel.

Not different in SCotland I'm afraid, a colleague went this morning.  She said they weren't checking ID just asking if you were NHS, said it was busier than normal for a Sunday morning.  One nurse there in uniform allegedly.
