I thought the advice was to ring 111 so as not to put the GP and other patients at risk. perhaps you rang 111 first.
Unfortunately life has a price, this is and will always be the case. I understand not going into full lockdown, I understand not closing schools just yet or not taking everyone out of work but we need to slow this down and to me the mindset of everyone should be interact with others only if you have to. The elderly, non workers and those with serious health issues need to stay indoors as much as possible. The rest need to act sensibly go to work unless they have symptoms then go home.
There is no need to go to a football match, a concert, a shopping centre etc...
The question is do you force people into these actions? Do you accept the economic damage from doing so? I think the government don’t have the stomach for either.
That's being awkwardnobody dies of coronavirus.
They die of the pneumonia or sepsis it can lead to.

Technically, COVID-19 is the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus, but you are right that COVID-19 is now commonly used for both by experts and laymen alike — it’s just an easier shorthand because the distinction is not important for most reporting / discussion. It’s important for scientific distinction, though.Thanks. Just checked. You are correct athough it does not cause COVID-19. It is the proper scientific name for COVID-19. They are one and the same virus. I didn't realise that when I read the paper. I thought it was a closely related virus.
In the document I read about the naming they also mention that it is expected to mutate into a low-pathogenic or non-pathogenic virus.
Sorry. Fair enough. Must have been worrying. Hope you get better soon.Rang 111 on Tuesday 8am, they got back to me at 6pm and told me to contact GP. GP no appointments for 2 weeks so sent me to out of hours, first appointment I could get was 8pm tonight.
That was before the storm of this government announcement, 111 wont be able to cope, which is why they've said contact them online.
I do it too.It’s what he does Marv.
I considered jumping his bones but just as well i didn't
I have seen him in the flesh and on a personal level wouldn't nail him and I am not at all classed as a fussy person. Beauty is in the eye of the persona and one nans poison and all that.

I don't know how people are supposed to work out whether what they have got is a normal bug or coronavirus. Very difficult to get tested I believe.
We spent about 8hrs together,he had my arm all the time ,we chatted up close as it was noisy,outside for most of itOK so that's great news on a number of fronts.
We know Karen has it (pretty sure the whole of the internet knows) and we also know that you had a social interaction with her but don't have it. What would be interesting to know is how long you were in her company and in what environment? Same table in and enclosed bar? Stood next to each other in a queue?
People are worried about catching it from a steward on this thread so would you care to share some details?

But *when* did Karen contract it, that is just as important to the discussion.OK so that's great news on a number of fronts.

And this is with less than 600 confirmed cases. In around 10 days we will have 5000. 111/NHS is already cracking.Rang 111 on Tuesday 8am, they got back to me at 6pm and told me to contact GP. GP no appointments for 2 weeks so sent me to out of hours, first appointment I could get was 8pm tonight.

A in-depth epidemiological investigation should be launched immediately!
Why did you grab my arse then?
