COVID-19 — Coronavirus

working from home is so difficult. There's a reason we go into offices.

Look's like my holiday's probably off after Raab's announcement. Shame because it was one of the last CV free places in the world and I'd rather be stuck there than here. Other people have got much worse problems though so I can't complain.

Post grads at Manchester Uni being told that everything shuts down at 5 today for the foreseeable. Looks like 5 of us are going to be stuck in the house for some time.

True. I get so much more done in the office.

I live in a high rise block....avoiding people isn't an option...especially in the lifts.

There's always a work-around...

I've always found it to be the other way tbh mate, are you management or staff?

Well working from home is going tits up. Tech issues. Finished at 12.30 today and currently at Mackie Mayors which is dead. My trip to Portugal next month is in the balance now.

This virus can suck my fucking dick

It will have to get pretty close....

I’m glad some media outlets are being very stark in their warnings given the amount of people still not taking the risks seriously and seemingly ignoring the advice “as it’s only advice”. Unbelievably selfish from some folk.

Of all this bullshit, it’s this that I’m struggling to get my head around the most.

The absolute ignorance of some human beings is fucking frightening.

Waste of fucking oxygen.

Another patient has died in scotland

"However, Public Health England (PHE) says there is no conclusive evidence that taking ibuprofen is harmful for respiratory infections"???? Hmmmm, well my mother-in-law with advanced COPD has been told by her doctors for years to keep off ibuprofen because its not good because of her breathing difficulties.

But not for much longer.

What Boris advice from a few days ago are they not following?

Why specifically a few days ago?

He’s just said don’t go to pubs or restaurants.

The government advice has been to adhere to what the regulations are in other countries.

Not gonna lie, I’ve had two wanks today.

The majority died here are elderly and sick but he doesn't know about younger fit patients and no idea if any front line staff are in intensive care themselves

chief scientific officer

The netherlands have half patients in hospital under 50 including one 16yr old

Antibody tests are coming soon

Antivirals don't seem to work early on

Not as intimately as my post would suggest/I would like :o)

Yes with asthma you should not take them unless you have it really mildly and don't need regular inhalers and COPD not at all

Other info coming out

Vast majority are not contagious after 7 days

Community testing has stopped but will be reintroduced when possible,many people are coming up with ways to test and they are looking at them

Because this video was taken before the government changed their position last night.

Even if I wasn’t genuinely having issues I’d probably invent issues to avoid work

could that just be the use of 'infections'? COPD/asthma aren't infections, are they?

Just back from the local Aldi, which has an interesting if slightly skewed slant on "rationing" - max. 4 units per item per customer. 1 pack of 6 tomatoes counts as 1 unit, 1 bunch of 6 bananas counts as 6 units! So I could have bought 24 tomatoes but only 4 bananas. Corn Flakes have now disappeared off the shelves along with the inevitable bog rolls and pasta.

Robbie Coltrane had it right:
