Same boat mate, I've had a cough for 8 days, and my dad in his 70s has had a cough for over 3 weeks! May be unrelated but I kind of think we both have it. Scary times, good luck to you and your dad.

Goodricke is now on Campus East. The old Goodricke is now part of Vanbrugh College. The best place on campus is probably Courtyard (in the Derwent Quad) or D-Bar. Though, the Charles remains one of the better places in and around campus.
Sounds like there have been significant changes since I left. Happy memories from the Charles.
Anyway, I don't want to get accused of thread drift....

Er, not really. It would be a bit of a stretch to imagine that someone in Italy gets tested positive, gets seriously ill, gets taken into hospital and then presumably intensive care and then dies. And then we conclude it has nothing to do with Coronavirus. There's been 2,158 recorded deaths from this in Italy and I imagine 2,158 of them are people who died from as a result of Coronavirus.Although I did hear the average age for the Italian deaths is 81.Did they die of it or with it. There is a marked difference
There is a separate question as to how many of these people might have died anyway over the next year or two, had they NOT contracted Coronavirus. That's different.

20% of my students were off. I expect that number to rise dramatically after the advice today.
Kids that were in are not at all in work mode, treating it very much like the last days before a holiday.

Whether Liverpool do what is irrelevant now. We all need to stick together as a nation and keep an eye on the vulnerable.

You should have told them kaz there's 200 men in m/Cr would walk over broken glass to deliver to you oh and one in Worsley who wears silly overcoats.Tesco just rang me,the drivers are told to ask everyone if they are ill,i told him yesterday i had it 3 weeks ago so his manager rang me to say they wont bring my shopping in again but leave it at the door,i told him i haven't been infectious for about 2 weeks now but he still says they wont bring in my shopping,doesnt make much difference to me but they really need to educate themselves about it,they cant catch it off me now

Keeping safe and well is ultimately the priority for you all. I was only jesting. Keep up the good work
I was in work last week even though I felt like shit. None of the coronavirus symptoms as such so went in (appeared to be just a bad head cold). When staffing cuts mean resources are already stretched you don't want to put added pressure on your colleagues.
Thanks for your good wishes ;-)

it’s amazing how easy it is for celebrities with little or no symptoms to get tested.

An NHS anaesthetist who is on the frontline in the fight against the coronavirus has spoken anonymously to Sky News.
We have well over 50 cases as of the weekend and our intensive care is nearly full of coronavirus patients on breathing support machines
It is simply not true that only the very elderly who we can imagine "would have died soon anyway" will get sick.
I have looked after more than one patient who is in their early 60s with minor or no health complaints and who exercises regularly
I want you to know that young people can and do become critically unwell and die from COVID-19. A colleague of mine is currently looking after several patients under the age of 40, all on ventilators

Asked not toOk, people won’t go because they’ve been told not to. Naive

There’s been cases of people catching it in hospital who were unfortunately going to die anyway. Not that it really matters in the grand scheme of things.

Think Idris has it here, transparency is key. I think I read on here someone posted that they knew of others on here who had tested positive but wanted to remain anonymous as they know people on here in the offline world. You’d hope they’d let those people know if they came into contact with them.
Does he know there’s someone behind him?
