COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[SWP's back]

Hospital 4am as i was breathless despite inhalers,my area have to go to a local smaller hospital to be assessed by a dr,had a nebuliser and iv loading dose of antibiotics and tablets to take and i have been tested and told to stay at home

I’m guessing you have a bacterial infection then if they’re giving you antibiotics? Rather than Covid 19?
Get well soon.

From what I can tell its people panicking if a town / city gets quarentened. can you imagine running out of bog roll and not being able to get any for a couple of months?

however odds are these are things that shops will get back in with no problems even under quarenteen measures.

Me self,usually have two craps a day,1 at home 1 in work,1 roll off bog roll will last me well over a month or 2...
So all these idiots stock piling,around the world & over here,haven't they ever heard off washing your arse after having a shit.
can only imagine when the big bomb drops & those with a bunker will starve to death,because its full off fking bog rolls..

Hope you recover quickly.

Have they said how long till test results are returned? And it is interesting they gave you antibiotics — I assume they thought it might not be COVID-19 but rather bronchitis or the like?

Got to love how utterly shite we can be at times.

UK government just announced an extra £46m of additional spending to help fight coronavirus. So that's what 60p each then? FFS.

At the same time, the US just announced an extra $8,300m of additional spending to help fight coronavirus.

At least one good thing has come out of this you have finally had a pop At the Tories spending plans:-)

7 people ill in Bethlehem, quarantine. That's how it should be here.

No room at the inn.

No room at the inn.

I was counting the pages from the OP to the first instance of this joke.

Missed with my prediction by 2.

No worries, I wouldn’t have been the pedant but obviously there’s a few people on here with youngsters and I didn’t want them worrying unnecessarily.

Good one.

Unfortunately, not only are western governments generally not responding with the same speed and aggression, they cannot respond in anything resembling the way China has, for many reasons. China has unique set of conditions that allowed them to contain the virus as they did.

And part of the reason the cases are declining so precipitously is that China actually took their already draconian measures to yet another level over the last month — to an extent that absolutely cannot be recreated in almost any other nation.

But it’s also worth noting that those numbers may not be entirely accurate, as they are still vetted through Chinese central authority and they have previous (and fairly good motive) for massaging them.

That’s not to say I think western governments are fully doing what they can, by any means. I think most aren’t actually even doing that. So they are not only incapable of taking the drastic action China has, they aren’t generally availing themselves of many of the options they are capable of undertaking.

You do realise now that for forever and a day your nickname on here will be Dr Doom:-)

Well look on the bright side,The rags hold 76,000

Brilliant lol

What's the obsession with people clearing the shelves of bog roll, it's a respiratory illness not fucking dysentery.

People self-isolating will be engaging in huge amounts of wanking.

That,s the spirit girl,& lets not forget this wk-end...

Not a go at you, but I think many might be surprised how many match-going fans are in the high risk population for this virus.

Fair comment.

Sorry, I’ve had a more difficult bout of insomnia the last few days than usual, so not quite at full capacity and am not following this one.

A chest Xray would have been helpful but they weren't doing those,as i said to sweep the virus can lead to pneumonia but it might just be your common old chest infection,i was told i would get a phone call with the test result,i forgot to ask how long

Will that be with face time(i think that,s what they call it)
